Hey there,
I just installed an ASUS Prime B365M-A mobo and Windows installed all drivers it needed. Everything works fine so far, no unknown/messed up devices in Device Manager. I also updated the bios already.
I'd like to know if I could gain any improvements by downloading the chipset/lan/vga/etc drivers from the manufacturer's page although I know these pages are often outdated. Manufacturers tend to update the downloads for few-to-several months after the release of the mobo then stopping the updates.
So how do I know if a specific motherboard driver from the page is newer or older than the installed one by Windows? Afaik, they have whole different version numbers as they're different products so I can't compare them.
Also, I'm not sure if the driver labelled "Chipset" contains the USB3 drivers as there's no standalone driver for USB3 in their list.
Thanks!
