    ASUS Z370 ROG Maximus X Hero Motherboard - Drivers


    Greetings Ten Forums / Community,

    I own a ASUS Z370 ROG Maximus X Hero Motherboard and I plan to install Windows 10 64bit.

    If we take a closer look at the following driver comparison list between the Intel and ASUS websites, we can see some discrepancies between the driver versions and the file size.

    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. (Examples shown in the pictures below.)

    So my questions are:
    (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)

    (Q2) Which drivers should be strictly downloaded from the ASUS website ?

    (Q3) How could I identify any drivers that have been "customized" on the ASUS website ?


    Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

    :)
