Hi All. I received my Z390 Aorus Pro today for my new build and after going on the Gigabyte website I have a couple of questions about drivers + utilities.
I have grabbed the latest BIOS which is literally 3 days old... firstly should I flash as a matter of course on a new build? I've no idea what version is on the board now, but it won't be the latest I am sure, which is the F9b. I am running 2x16Gb@3200Mhz, the new bios says 'Support 32GB UDIMM' - what does that mean?
After bios and windows install, which of the drivers and utilities do I need/should I install?
I assume I put everything under 'Audio, Chipset and LAN'?
Under 'SATA RAID/ACHI' there are three drivers :
Is there any point in putting the VGA driver on there?
Finally there are the utilities, I have no idea what most do or whether they are useful or not, or even detrimental :
Thanks! Sorry for long post.
