Hello fellow builders and computerpeople :D
I just made my secound build, but i cant find the right drivers, and i forgot which one i should download. I got a MSI Z170A Tomahawk AC motherboard with an I7 6700K which im going to overclock to 4.7 or 4.6GHz.

Could some of you maybe send the links to the drivers im suppost to download?

Win 10 is famous for borking driver installs. Win 7 wasn't fault free.

1. Prepare for Windows installation with USB tool

2. Connect boot drive data cable to lowest numbered SATA port .... but don't connect:
-Ethernet cable
-SATA Data Cable for any other drives

3. Install Windows to boot drive

4. Turn off Windows ability to install Hardware drivers

5. Install all hardware drivers from original media in boxes See Item 7 below

6. Connect ethernet cable and run Windows Update till it stops doing anything

7. Install latest drivers for ALL hardware from manufacturers web sites. The reason we didn't do this in step 5 is 3 fold:
-Sometimes MoBo CD comes with licensed utilities with product key embedded and these are not on web site versions
-Its advisable to establish a working out of box conditions
-Sometimes newer drivers require latest Windows Updates

If you have a 2nd drive ....

8. Shut down and connect HD data cable to 2nd lowest numbered SATA port.

9. Boot to BIOS and make sure that SSD is the 1st boot device, if not fix it

10. Boot to Windows
