Asus P7P55D-E Pro & Win7-64 Installation

[accelerate]

Hello,

I'm about reinstall Win7 on my P7P55D-E Pro with my new SSD. I lost my motherboard CD, so I have to download individual drivers from the Asus website. But there are so many drivers, I'm not sure if I need all, some, or even any of them.

The list of drivers is here:
http://usa.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1156/P7P55DE_PRO/#download
(Select Win7-64bit from the dropdown)

I was going to just install the latest of each driver, but some categories, like SATA, there are three different drivers listed, so I don't know if I just take the latest, or do I take one of each.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Ooh. I'm glad you asked that question. I'm about to do the same thing. I have done this before and downloaded updates -- can't remember which I used: some are blind alleys and my stack of downloads is confusing. I too would like to see what other folks have to say.

Personally I try to use the latest from the manufactures direct first and if I cannot find it then i would uses asus's download

Intel Chipset

Audio = use the latest on Asus site

Realtek Lan

Intel RST (Sata)

And that should be it

Usb 3 Driver, use whats on asus's site

Sata - Use the latest ones for both the Marvel(2010.08.24 update) and Jmicron drivers(2009.12.04 update)

Thanks! I'll go with installing the drivers you listed. Hopefully things go smoothly.

So far, so good. My Vertex 3 has hit 7.9 on the WEI. Don't seem to need the Intel stuff. Realtek, VIA are fine. Stuff from Asustek are fine.

This has been a big help.
