Alright guys and gals, just here with some driver questions for my mobo. Iv had my pc running for a good while now, but I want to do a secure erase on my ssd and update the firmware along with a clean install of windows.

When I had first installed everything, the cd had a ton of drivers and i was unsure what some of them were. Now on the website, there are even more than before. If anyone has the same or similiar mobo who can tell me what certain drivers are for and if they are needed for my usage.

The rig is gaming/internet only. No cad, ps, video editing, anything of that sort. Just gaming and internet browsing.

Here is a link to the driver page for my board, its an AsRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3

Thanks to all and any help :cool:
 
Ignoring the Utility section, I would install:

Realtek audio driver (if you use it)
INF driver
Intel Management Engine
Intel Rapid Start (if you use it)
Lucid Virtu (if you use it)
ASMedia USB 3.0
VGA driver ver:15.22.2.64.2372 (the other looks like it is for Ivy Bridge)
