Hey everyone! I just built my first PC and I'm unsure about which drivers I need to install, apart from the usual chipset drivers. Any advice would be appreciated! Here's a link to my build for context: https://imgur.com/a/A5OSR6r

Ignoring the outdated chipset from your motherboard's site is key. Grab the latest drivers from AMD instead. For sound, get the Realtek HD Audio driver; for Bluetooth, go with MediaTek. Ensure to snag the Realtek LAN driver for Wi-Fi too. Just avoid installing the other stuff unless you run into issues—it’ll save you some hassle!
Make sure to check if a BIOS update is needed first. Then focus on the drivers like the GPU, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth if your board supports them! Device Manager can help spot any drivers you're missing.
For starters, definitely get the AMD chipset drivers and the graphics driver from AMD. They even have an app that can automatically identify your graphics card if you're not sure. Don't forget about audio drivers (Realtek HD Audio usually works fine since Windows 11 often installs these automatically), and check if your Ethernet or Wi-Fi drivers need to be installed or updated. Just stick to the essentials unless you have RGB lights, then consider using Signal RGB too. If you have specific questions about any drivers, feel free to ask!
