Windows 10 fresh install and RIVE

Hi all, I I have a RIVE and just upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 with a fresh install.
Before I did this I downloaded all the current drivers.
Much to my delight all was good and I did not have to install any of the Asus drivers.

My question is should I install the drivers and BIOS? or should I install some but not others?

The drivers I downloaded but did not install are...

Audio
Audio_V6_0_1_7525-Win10_WHQL
Audio_Win7-8-81-10_V6017525

Don't bother updating BIOS if all is running well.

Drivers...check device manager to see if there are any yellow exclamation marks etc.

Maybe install chipset...but x79 is your platform not x99....don't understand how that would be available on ASUS site:confused:

Driver pack here if ASUS site is throwing out weird things https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?72562-Windows-10-WHQL-RIVBE-driver-pack

All except wifi and bluetooth work on RIVE

Thanks, I am going to update the chipset and possibly the LAN...It has shut down twice for no reason lately. I was playing Civ V and poof shutdown. I doubt I am stressing the video card...maybe the psu. Off to Event viewer

Latest Nvidia drivers are not all they are cracked up to be...if you have a 364 variant installed maybe use DDU to clean off the driver and roll back to 361.91 or 362.00....
