Windows 10: Should I Update Drivers for my chipset & motherboard

I had a computer made for me in 2017. Should I try to update the drivers for my motherboard or chipset? I'm not experiencing any problems that I'm aware of, but have heard that you should keep your drivers up to date.

Under System Information, I get this:





Pursuant to Brink's tutorial at
Find Motherboard Brand, Model, Serial Number, and Version in Windows

I ran Get-WmiObject win32_baseboard | Format-List Product,Manufacturer,SerialNumber,Version

& got this:





The box that housed the main components says:
GIGABYTE
Z170X-Gaming 7 Motherboard
Intel Z170X/Socket 1151/rev.1.0
4 DDR4 2-CH/PCI-Ex 16/ATX
TYPE-C/5.1 -CH HD Audio/SATA
& then the serial number

I don't really know the difference between the motherboard, chipset, & BIOS.

If I should try to update the drivers, do I go to Gigabyte or American Megatrends website?

Thank you in advance. (Sorry for the duplicate image. I don't see how to get rid of it.)

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused
