MSI Z68A-GD65(G3) What to install from "Drivers Section"
« on: 28-May-12, 19:30:49 »
Ok so having just reinstalled Windows on my PC I am wondering what exacetly I should install from the Driver list for my board on MSI's website (so for me this is http://uk.msi.com/product/mb/Z68A-GD65--G3-.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2032)

I mean I know the obvious ones, chipset and graphics Drivers from Nvidia, and the USB 3.0, but what of the rest of the driver links on that page do I actually need to install?

(Sorry if this isnt in the right place)
Thanks
George

Intel Management Engine for sure, Ethernet of course. Marvell and IRST. Others are optional and can always be installed at a later date if it turns out to be something you need.

Thanks for the reply mate, installed Marvel, ethernet and Intel Management, unable to install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (when running iata_enu.exe) drivers, says "your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements"

Thanks

 Read that. You only have 1 HDD so that would not apply to your rig.
