I don't have the motherboard CD so i have some questions

1.Intel SATA Preinstall driver
(For AHCI / RAID Mode)
Note: Windows setup to read from USB thumb drive. What does that mean?

2.Thunderbolt Driver
(Note) Please install Thunderbolt Driver first before install USB3.1 FW Update Tool utility.

What about this one?

3. Do i have to install everything you see there?

here is the download page for the mobo. grab the 2 drivers you are missing and install them http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5498#dl raid and thunderbolt driver

then get the update utility here http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Utility/mb_utility_usb-fw_ar3.zip and follow the instructions posted with it.

" Please follow the steps instructed after executing USB3.1 FW Update Tool, remove the system power cord for at least 30 seconds after FW update. USB3.1 function will be available after system powers on." looks like this utility is needed to enable the usb 3.1 features. install this utility last after the drivers and whatever reboots are needed.

not really the raid driver but the thunderbolt one is needed.

just download them from the mobo website and install them or run windows update and see if it finds them for you. normally it does.

but it's pretty simple to go to the website for the mobo and grab those drivers.
