How do you install sabertooth X58 Motherboard drivers?

[Clay54412]

Hello, I go to the website asus.com in the driver download section and all the updates are in a weird format with no setup.exe.. I just reformatted and I think I need all the latest drivers for my pc... Thanks.

They're all in ZIP files.

Just extract the ZIP file and the EXE file is inside.

Is this the place you got it?

Just select your OS and it might give you a zip file to unzip which will contain the .exe file

Thank you, and where would I unzip these files exactly?

 

[Clay54412]

And do I download all of them or just the first choice on each? I'm using windows 8.1 btw..

Just open the folder (windows) and then at the top somewhere there should be "Unzip" or "Extract"

So I open my local disk/Windows and extract the files in there? And which files? Sorry, I'm a bit confused..

I see files that say bios, bios utilities, audio, lan, ect.. which would I need? The problem is, my pc isn't detecting my gpu and I was told that I would have to update my motherboard drivers for it to detect it...Is that true?

Usually yes. I'd download / update all of them just to make sure. 😀

 

[Clay54412]

I understand extracting files but which files in that list would I need and where exactly in my pc would I have to extract these files to update it properly?

 

[Clay54412]

Sounds good but where exactly would I extract these files in my pc to update my motherboard properly??

The installer should do it for you. No need to change the directory.

 

[Clay54412]

Lol but there is no installer..when I download, it's just a SABERTOOTH-X58-ASUS-1402.ROM file...It's in WinRAR format...

 

[Clay54412]

It's a ROM file... 🙁

 

[ThatVietGuy]

That ROM file is for the BIOS and you use that file in a different manner. You don't need it unless you plan to upgrade your BIOS.

Like the previous post said, just extract the file to your desktop, open the folder that's made, and run the EXE file inside.

For best functionality, you'll need to install - chipset, audio, LAN, USB, and SATA.
