hello
I am assembling a PC now with an Asus P8Z77-V motherboard and an Intel i5-3570 CPU. I will make a clean install with Windows 8 PRO (no upgrade). I am not sure which drivers to install after the Win 8 installation. Following is the website from Asus for the motherboard:
ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS P8Z77-V
In particular, I have following questions for the chipset and sata drivers.
Chipset:
I see following drivers or software:
Management Engine Interface V8.1.0.1263
Chipset driver V9.3.0.1021
Chipset Software Installation Utility V9.3.0.1019
(under firmware) Firmware upgrade for Management Engine interface
Question: do I have to install all that software/drivers, and in what order?
Sata:
I see Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver V11.5.0.1207
Do I have to install that too?
Should I install those software/drivers from the Asus website or look for the latest from the Intel website?
And another question: should I install that software/drivers first after Win 8 install, or do Win 8 update first before the drivers?
