[SOLVED] What drivers do I need to download for this system?

[mateocubes22]

I purchased a PC with Windows 10 installed and would like to know what drivers should I download once I finish doing windows updates. This will primarily be used for work and gaming.

System specs
MB: MSI B450 Tomahawk
Nvidia Graphics 2070 Super
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core 3.6 GHZ
Intel 660P for Storage

I know where to get the drivers for the Nvidia Graphics and the MSI board, but i'm not sure what drivers I should download for the MSI board/Ryzen and Intel 660P. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Chipset Driver

Audio Driver

LAN Driver


The RAID driver is only really needed if you plan on well using a raid setup. And even then thats only if you plan on using AMDs RaidXpert



The 660P doesnt need any drivers, it should work out of the box.

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the BIOS?

You may as some B450 mobos dont come with an updated BIOS and will not support Ryzen 3000 CPUs. However luckily you have a motherboard that can have the BIOS updated without a CPU installed

I'm sorry I am new to all of this. I believe I am referring to the actual ryzen 5 chip or is that directly from the MSI site?

but basically just install the Nvidia driver and MSI Drivers and I am done? I don't think I would need to flash the BIOS.

The MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX ships with a new enough BIOS to support the Ryzen 3600 so there's little reason to update it (only updated if experiencing issues like BSOD's). Get the motherboard drivers directly from MSI's website (the ones @richiestang_78 posted), the GPU drivers from Nvidia and you should be all set. There could be a firmware update for the Intel but that's up to you, if the drive works at the correct speeds I wouldn't bother.
