Which drivers do I download? Cannot find chipset drivers.

[anowalk]

This is my motherboard: Gigabyte AM3+ AMD DDR3 1333 760G HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Motherboard GA-78LMT-USB3

For the mobo, there are only three drivers available on their website: Audio, Lan, USB 3.0. There aren't any chipset drivers, SATA drivers, or anything else.


Graphics card: GeForce GTX 970

For the graphics card, there are 4 drivers available, and I don't know which one(s) I need to install. There's the ZOTAC GeForce Graphic driver 375.63 for Win 10 64bits, ZOTAC FireStorm_V1.0.46.005E, ZOTAC GeForce Graphic driver 368.81 for Win 10 64bit, and ZOTAC GeForce Graphic driver 361.75 for Win1064bits.

I can't tell if the latter 3 graphic drivers are outdated or just different and necessary.

I was under the impression that I needed to download a chipset and SATA driver for my mobo, but I can't seem to find them on the gigabyte website.

Any help would be appreciated!

On the mobo, if no specific driver look back to Win 8/8.1 for the latest, maybe even back to Win 7. They only list the ones that have been specifically updated for the newer OS

Hello. You have not specified which windows you are installing, but I'll assume it is windows 10 64bit from your search results on the GTX970.
Windows 10 should support your motherboard SATA natively, and install correctly. If not, download either the Win7 or the win8 drivers:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#dl (select either win7 or win8 64-bit)
The Windows 7 drivers are usually compatible with Win10.
For the AHCI/SATA, download (AMD Chipset Driver (include chipset \ sata raid driver) )


As for the GTX 970, ideally download drivers directly from Geforce. The latest driver is:

I forgot to add: The drivers you see for your ZOTAC card are 3 drivers and 1 utility. For drivers, the higher the number (ex. 375.63), the more recent it is, thus the best bet. ZOTAC Firestorm is an utility to control your video card fans and possibly overclock it. Before using this application, please be sure to know the basics of overclocking and maintaining a good temperature.
