I feel like such an idiot. Ok, so I've been looking around Asus' website at the motherboard updates, but how do I know which ones I need, and is it safe to download from their "global" download option? I'm so afraid to screw anything up... So much time, money, and stress went into building this xD.

Thank you for your time :) .

What updates do you need? If it's a BIOS update, boot into the BIOS and just use the self-install feature. It requires an internet connection. If it's drivers for the motherboard, there should be a DVD with them that came with the motherboard. What do you need updates for?

I installed the drivers from the CD already... I don't know xD. I thought I'd need to download and update everything. I've updated the GPU and am doing the OS now.... Can I forget about the mobo and just stick with the drivers from the CD?

Yes. Unless there is a compelling reason to update them, just leave them alone.

What about BIOS updates? Still no reason?

Right. Unless you need to update the BIOS to add support for something, I wouldn't bother.

Depends. Most people PM me asking for help. Almost all of them, I trash and never read, let alone reply. I try my best to help, but I'm not officially offering a service here.
