Hey all. Recently bought and built my first computerbox from OC. Here's the order c/p:
Crucial RealSSD M4 256GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive
MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Power Edition "448 Edition" OC Twin FrozR III 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
Asus P8Z68-V GEN3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
XFX 850W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver' Power Supply
Kingston HyperX Genesis 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit
Akasa AK-CC4008HP01 Venom Voodoo CPU Cooler
Running W7 Home Premium. So my questions relate to bundled drivers and software. I would like to overclock the cpu and keep the shovelware to a complete minimum, due to the ssd.
Should I bother with the Asus 'AI Suite 2' software?
Can I skimp on drivers that don't matter or should I play by the rules?
Examples include: raid drivers (not going to be doing that) and 'Realtec HD Audio Manager', which just seems to be another system tray process that was working fine before it got there.
Appreciate any responses!
