My MSI motherboard came with a utility to check for the mobo drivers. And even though I hate having extra background processes running, I set this utility to remind me to check weekly. That reminder reminds me to go to the Nvidia website and check for graphic card drivers (the Nvidia Experience program would do similar reminders if I installed it). I always upgrade to the latest drivers for both when they are available. For the graphics card I always do the clean/custom install process I mentioned. For the mobo I just install the main drivers and bios updates (unlike the “old days” the bios gets updated directly in Windows) and never install the HD audio driver or other utilities that are offered.
I think many would say “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. And they might be right esp if their audio computer is used for business income. But for me, I say I want the latest. And so far all has gone well… knock on wood.
Regards.
