I need to some advice on which Asus software I should install on the pc I'm building next week???
PC Specs:
Mobo: Asus Maximus VIII Hero
CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K
RAM: G-Skill Ripjaws Z DDR4 3200 (2 kits 32GBs total)
M.2 SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (Windows, Programs, Games)
SSD: Intel 530 Series 480GB (Excess Games that won't fit on Samsung)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3.0TB (Personal Data)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2
CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 (Push/Pull Exhaust)
Video Cards: 2 MSI GeForce GTX 760 2.0GBs. in sli (Ugrading to 2 Sapphire R9 380X Nitro 4.0GBs in June)
Case: NZXT Phantom 820 White w/NZXT Hue Lighting
I know I'll need AI Suite 3, so I can use the 5-way optimization to overclock my cpu.
I know I'll use the Sonic Studio stuff, Lighting Control, Asus AO Help, Asus Boot Setting, Asus PC Diagnostics, BUpdater, Asus ROG CPU-z and Asus ROG GPUz.
The rest of the software, I have no idea if I'll need it or not.
All suggestions appreciated

I have the same question. There is a webpage and the board, same as your, is missing. For what I did get, in my case, is that the first thing to do is the BIOS flash before adding the windows. I am talking load here, since My cpu and memory are on his way. but that was on some forums and manual said that i have to do first. And i ave to get a old cdrom. The software come with a update software included or i have to get online?

Hi guys

Honestly, the less you install the better off you're going to be. I only installed the Aura program for the lighting control and sonic studio II which installs with the realtek audio driver.

Those are the only two I have installed.

You can get the latest drivers and software at the asus support center, select your operating system and go to utilities for software.
