if you install all of them from the supplied cd with the motherboard you should have alsuiteIII installed there is a utility called EZ update in that it makes it very easy for installing latest drivers and bios
step 1: click the tools arrow top right of alsuiteIII main screen
step 2: click the EZ update icon
step 3: click the check now button
it will automatically check for all driver and bios updates and you just have to agree to install them and reboot when prompted

not necessarily an answer but more my experience with this motherboard/company. I am back to my first windoze build in 10 years after a long peaceful time with linux and OSX.
I have just purchased this motherboard, put 16 GB gskill 2133 ddr, i5 4670k, 1t WD black drive, and win7-64_enterpr.
The system is very slow, system updates take forever, system unstable, like the HD is working at usb2.0 speeds to give u an idea. While waiting for a geforce 760 card to arrive, I put my old geforce 9500 and not a single game plays full screen at very low res/detail settings: rome total w, hearthstone, splintercell, assasscreed.

The motherboard manual is very spotty on many key points, for example like which SATA to connect 1 hd and 1dvdr if maximum interface speed of the driver is desired (AHCI)???
Basically I found myself getting into the guts of computing a little too much.... 24hrs and going now.

...the speed SEEMS to have improved by installing the intelchipset driver. I guess win7 must have had a very outdated one. So definitely try to update all the drivers you can. with win8 the drivers maybe more up to date?!?!

This AsuiteIII or whatever is called is very annoying It does things to the bios from the OS you may NOT want to do. It is supposed to have the EZupdt.exe for the bios but that is nowhere to be found after I select it for installation in the installer. All in all I found this mobo support very spotty and rather unprofessionally done.
