Title: Utility DVD or site download
Post by: shot34ever on April 21, 2011, 08:37:49 pm

Just completed a new build and using a Gigabyte motherboard for the first time. Is it best to use the Utility DVD or download from Gigabyte's web site. I have read somewhere where that is is best to use the website.

Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H rev. 2.1
Phenom 1100T 6-core CPU
NZXT M59 Case with two top case fans, one side fans, one front fan and one rear. All 120mm.
WD1002FAEX 1 Tb. HDD
ZALMAN| CNPS9900ALED R CPU Fan
Antec TP-750 PSU
CORSAIR CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 R 2x4GB Memory
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Very impressed with this Gigabyte motherboard so far. Very easy to work with. No problems at all. Yes I am knocking on wood.
Thanks in advance

It is generally better to download the drivers from the Gigabyte website as they are generally more up-to-date than the ones on the install disk so that it is why it is suggested that you do that.

For your motherboard you can download the drivers and BIOS updates from here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3516&dl=1#dl

Yes I would agree, always download the latest drivers from the website.
