Maximus V Extreme and Windows 10?

Hey all,

I was wondering if ASUS will release drivers and other programs for this motherboard when Windows 10 is released? I am running Windows 7 64bit at the moment, but I am not sure if I should install Windows 10 on 29th or should I wait? What do you guys suggest? One of the most important things for me is fun controller since I overclocked i7 3770K and both CPU fans on Noctua NH-D14 are controlled by Fan Xpert 2. I am also concerned about SLI controller as well as for other components that are on the following list. BIOS update might be necessary as well I suppose?

Full system spec:

MB: ASUS Maximus V Extreme
GPU: 2x EVGA GTX680 Classified 4GB in SLI
CPU: i7 3770K
DDR: 16GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 2133MHz
Soundcard: ASUS Xonar Essence STX
SSD: 2x INTEL 520 series 128GB
HDD: WD 3TB
PSU: Enermax Platimax 1000W

I will appreciate any kind of suggestion... thank you in advance!

I have two Asus MB's both 1150 series which have Win10 drivers available, namely Asus Hero VI and Asus Z87 Pro.

I noticed not many Asus 1155 MB's have Win10 drivers available. But this one does http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=H61M-CS&p=1&s=39&os=45&hashedid=tASslMAZsa2TsqV...

Anyway, I also have an Asus Laptop N56DP which only has W8.1 driver to this day on
Asus Driver Support site http://support.asus.com/download/options.aspx?SLanguage=en&type=1

I am going to test my Asus N56DP laptop on DAY 1 of Win10 upgrade launch after I've already checked the Windows 10 Compatibility Test seen here: http://www.zdnet.com/article/will-your-pc-run-windows-10-use-this-well-hidden-compatibility-checker-...
My Laptop N56DP is only a backup which passed the MS compatibility test.

The Win10 drivers offered by Asus for my two other MB's are pretty important. Intel Chipset, LAN, Bluetooth, Audio, WiFi, RAID/SATA

If this is a critical system, I would wait, see and listen before upgrading to Windows 10.

I put in a support ticket for my laptop with Asus and they responded saying :
After checking, unfortunately I am afraid that this N56DP notebook isn't under the Windows 10 test list, so it wouldn't officially support the Windows 10.

I am going to test this laptop anyway with Win10 on day one. I have two MSI GE60-OCN laptops which do not have Win10 drivers available on MSI support site as well, which I will test one of them
