What drivers do I need for my new motherboard

[Zic]

Here is my motherboard https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-A/overview/
And since it's very new will I not have to update the https://s30.postimg.org/euc51xym9/IMG_1436.jpg (The ones that are crossed of)
But on the utility's I've noticed some with the same name but different dates so could you guys point me to the right ones on the chipset and utility's by just putting in the version
(I will be using ASUS aura sync for my tridentz RAM and ASUS 1070 8OG strix Graphics card)
(I will be using windows 10 64bit)


Thanks

if you're unsure just go to the asus website and download all the drivers for your motherboard and GPU. windows update will find new drivers too

the chipset drivers are first to download and install, always

if after those there is still many parts without driver and marked, you can try other drivers or let windows to find them for you

if after that you still have drivers on the system without driver, check the properties and find the hardware id, copy that number and paste it into google, surely will find the name of the part and the driver required

i only see this list for windows 10, you need to narrow down the search so you don't see 31 drivers and 20 bios

audio and lan could be required, the rest can wait, those 3 first

A. All necessary drivers will be on the MoBo CD

B. No it is not an automatic that all drivers will be new. There were new drivers before the 1st MoBo ships ... there will be many more for th 1st 3 months or so as bugs get fixed... sometimes bugs will require revised MoBo designs and will not be fixed by driver updates.

C. Updated drivers have different version numbers and date stamps. Say 11.6.1.11 to 11.6.1.13

1. Prepare for Windows installation with USB tool or via whatever media you have

2. Connect boot drive data cable to lowest numbered SATA port .... but don't connect:
-Ethernet cable
-SATA Data Cable for any other drives (othe than DVD if needed fore installaltion media)

3. Install Windows to boot drive

4. Turn off Windows ability to install Hardware drivers. Never ... ever, ever ... let Windows install HW drivers.

5. Install all hardware drivers from original media in boxes See Item 7 below

6. Connect ethernet cable and run Windows Update till it stops doing anything

7. Install latest drivers for ALL hardware from manufacturers web sites. The reason we didn't do this in step 5 is 3 fold:
-Sometimes MoBo CD comes with licensed utilities with product key embedded and these are not on web site versions
-Its advisable to establish a working out of box conditions
-Sometimes newer drivers require latest Windows Updates

If you have a 2nd drive ....

8. Shut down and connect HD data cable to 2nd lowest numbered SATA port.

9. Boot to BIOS and make sure that SSD is the 1st boot device, if not fix it

10. Boot to Windows

never uever use the cd that comes with the mainboard

there will be always newer drivers on the manufacturer site

the cd is there for those who can't connect to internet and download new drivers

about leaving windows install drivers, windows 10 is very good doing that, even with gpus, i have tried it and it does work well

I'm making a windows 10 installer should i put the drivers on there or should i just download them when the pc is built?
