Old ASUS Z87-A drivers

[Stankenestor]

Hello!

I just made a clean install of windows 10 on a new SSD. My motherboard is from 2013 but i heard you should download the drivers that come with it. Looking at the asus web page for the z87-a motherboard, i see alot of old drivers from 2015. Should i download these on my windows 10 system? Obviously stuff like intel graphics i wont probably need since i have a dedicated gpu already but there's a bios update driver from 2014, realtek audio from 2016, and stuff like LAN, SATA and chipset drivers from 2015. As far as i know windows provides you with drivers upon installing windows 10, for example i got the realtek audio drivers automatically upon installing. The only driver i have downloaded is my nvidia graphics drivers.

So is it safe/should i download these old drivers?

The most important would be Chipset,LAN,Audio and SATA.
On their website are the latest drivers for your motherboard(they are old because your mobo is old) and you should install the important ones.

I already have realtek audio driver, it got installed automatically by windows. Should i still grab that old one?

Also should i update my bios too? (2014 update it says)

Probably windows downloaded the latest version of the audio driver automatically.
Thr BIOS update it's recommended, but not necessary if your computer performance is fine.
When you install a new GPU for example you should update it.
