How to update Asus Drivers?

[TDevlin]

Hi, after a relatively painless first ever pc build yesterday, I'm now on to updating to all the latest drivers. However, this seems to be the first part of the project where I'm completely lost on what I'm meant to do.

I've gone to the Asus website to download the latest Bios version for my Sabertooth Z77 and I've downloaded the Asus Update Utility. But when I try to open this, I get a message saying "Sorry, this application only supports ASUS motherboards!" Does anyone have any ideas why this might be?


Also for all the other drivers apart from the Bios one, I can update them, but I'd just like to check I'm doing it right as this is all new territory to me. Do I just download the driver, unzip the file and then just click on the AsusSetup application to start the update. This has seemed to work so far but for some like the chipset driver, there's multiple forlders with AsusSetup application files I can click on. Are these all the same as each other or does each one need to be clicked on individually?

One last thing, there's 36 files I can download for the Sabertooth Z77, do they all need downloaded, as there doesn't seem any quick way to check which ones are already up to date and which ones need updating.

Use the EZFlash utility in the BIOS to update the BIOS if you need to.

Drivers are best downloaded from the respective hardware manufactures as they are usually more up to date than those provided by the motherboard manufacturer.

Chipset drivers from Intel, graphics from AMD/Nvidia if you have a discrete card etc.

You should be able to check the driver versions in the Device Manager and compare them to those shown on the Asus website.

Cheers for the help, I just used the EZFlash utility and that's me got the latest BIOS.

Had a look at the latest intel drivers and they appear to be behind Asus for now, so will stick with what I'm doing at the moment, going through the complete list of Asus drivers one at a time, and hopefully I'm doing it right.
