(Q3) How could I identify any drivers that have been 'customized' on the ASUS website ?Īny help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance. (Q2) Which drivers should be strictly downloaded from the ASUS website ?

(Q1) Which drivers can be downloaded from the Intel website without the risk of losing any features / customizations for my specific motherboard ? (ASUS Z370 ROG Maximus X Hero Motherboard) My confusion arises from the Intel website stating that the drivers are 'Generic Intel Drivers' and in the download description notes it states that some manufacturers 'customize' the generic Intel driver to meet the needs of their system design.
