Yes.
I am not sure of what the setting does. Does it have a description in the BIOS?
I would just run the executable for the LAN drivers. I have never seen a driver without an executable for a mainstream consumer motherboard... The worst that happens is that it does not work, at best its over and done with.
You are going to want to enable resizable BAR in BIOS as well.
I found this resource on how to do so for gigabyte boards. Scroll down to where it says, "2. Motherboard BIOS Settings," and follow the steps.
Regarding the LAN driver... is it truly only about setting up the local area network and nothing else, right? If I setup a private local network or game on LAN, can I assume it's good? Once I run the executable, I might be able to see a directory in which to dump the "preinstall" files, then maybe somehow re-run the driver install and it might see/use them. Meh, like you say, as long as it works.
I checked your BAR in bios linked. It says I need to check compatibility with my other components. I'll do that, then look into if further. (I would NEVER have known that was even a thing had you not mentioned it.- thanks!)
I thought the low latency support was a more typical option. I've tried researching it, but I'm still confused. Maybe I should just leave it off an not mess with it? More of an overclocking tool?
Just checked the BIOS again. No information. No mouse over, etc. Just and on/off.
Here's what an AI chat bot said about it:
The "low latency support" in the Gigabyte main board BIOS refers to an option that, when enabled, optimizes memory timings to reduce latency, potentially leading to higher performance. This option is typically found in the BIOS settings of motherboards and is related to memory optimization. Enabling low latency support may automatically optimize memory timings, resulting in lower latency and potentially improved system responsiveness. However, it's important to note that enabling this option may require careful consideration and testing, as it can impact system stability, particularly when combined with other memory-related settings such as XMP/EXPO high bandwidth support

.The specific impact of enabling "low latency support" can vary depending on the system configuration and the type of memory modules being used. It's recommended to consult the motherboard's manual or the manufacturer's official documentation for detailed information about this feature and its potential effects on system performance and stability. Additionally, user experiences and discussions on online forums can provide insights into how this feature behaves in practical scenarios, but it's important to approach such information with caution and consider the specific context of each user's setup and requirements.
and here's an article that refers to it
The Overclockers review presents a Gigabyte B650E AORUS Master motherboard that is full of gaming features and great for overclocking.
