Next week I'll finally have all the parts to build my new pc. I need recommendations on which Asus software I'll actually need ?
I know I'll need AI Suite 3, as I plan on using 5-way optimization to overclock my cpu. I know I'll need the Lighting Control to change my Hero VIII's led color and the Sonic Studio stuff.
The rest, I'm unsure of.

Best to do the overclocking thru the bios. I have never ad luck with ai suite. The motherboard will come with a dvd driver usually with the software on it but best to get the drivers thru asus directly as they may be newer than what is on the disk.

download drivers and put them on a USB stick.
for windows, fastest way to instal it is to put it on a USB ( make it bootable ).
and yes, OS = best to do inside bios.
there are tutorials on the forum here and if you need more help there are ppl who will help you whit it too.

Asus software help needed
