Do you install official motherboard drivers?

no_1_dave · 13 Aug 2017 at 23:49

When I installed windows about 6 months ago my PC ran fine and there is nothing in device manager that is showing as not working so I didn't install any "official" MSI drivers. To this day everything is still fine, no issues what so ever.

Out of curiosity I installed MSI Live Update to see if there was a new bios or anything, no real reason for it but it got me thinking. Do you recommend I install the official software or just keep using the Intel standard drivers that come packaged with Windows? What do you guys do?

Here is my live update if you're interested. I'm not sure if I should install these or not because everything is working.

I install the drivers for networking ports but that is about it, my motherboard is quite old so overclocking it with software and the like can be buggy at the best of times so prefer BIOS for that.

Just GPU. Windows takes care of everything else.

I stick lan on then get the latest version at the time of install from the manufactures website.

Pointless if you have no problems.
