Hi,

I recently purchased a Gigabyte X470 Gaming 7 Wifi board and windows found all the necessary drivers with the exception of the RAID drivers (I'm running a raid1 for storage).

Now the question is, should I manually update all the drivers from their website or just rely on windows 10 (1809) drivers?

Thank you.

Would get the chipset drivers and raid/ahci drivers from www.AMD.com and other drivers from the manufacturer´s homepages:
realtek - audio ALC1220-VB codec (ES9018Q2C chip)
Intel - LAN driver, WLAN/BT -> Intel® GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)
USB3.1 - Asmedia USB 3.1 gen 2
Usually these drivers are more up to date than windows or motherboard manufacturer´s ones
