Need help with reinstall and drivers

[jacob]

I have a Z68X-UD4-B3 with an i5-2500K


Here's the link to the drivers, my OS is Windows-7 (64).

Do I have to download and install every single thing I see listed in each category?
I don't mind doing so, but I just thought I'd ask before doing anything.

Thanks in advance, very much appreciated.

FYI - I did flash my BIOS to F10 last night, without a hitch - that is definitely nerve racking though. lol

Short answer NO!

Are you going to use the Marvell ports? If so yes D/L the driver

Do you have a USB 3.0 stick? If so yes D/L the driver

Are you going to run a couple of drives in Raid? If so yes D/L the driver here. You want the 3rd one down

If you said no to all those, then all you really need is

Realtek LAN Driver

Intel INF installation Driver

Realtek Function driver for Realtek Azalia audio chip (Including Microsoft UAA Driver in English edition)

Then last of all your Graphics display Driver........

That's all I use.

Personally I do NOT use the Marvell ports as I have found them buggy!

Hope this helps!
