What motherboard drivers do I need to install?

SlippingRelic · Mar 28, 2015

Hello, I was wondering what drivers do I need to install for my motherboard, the Asus Z97-A. There are so many, I know there are some you have to install and some that are optional. Also I would like to know what are the following drivers and what do they do: utilities, BIOS, BIOS-Utilities, and Hotfix. Here is the link to my build if it is of any use, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HLRhZL, and here is the link to the Asus motherboard drivers website, http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z97A/HelpDesk_Download/. Thanks in advance.

P.S., please, please, please... do not send me recommendations for other parts, this build has been finalized.

I would install the latest drivers for the motherboard, and all of them. They all look needed, and none of them seem optional.
