Should I really install all the motherboard utilities...?

[bovinda]

Gigabyte's website lists 30 million utilities... Which would you definitely install or not? Are there any I just don't need or shouldn't care about?

This is a new build with:
Gigabyte Z68X-UDH3-B3 rev 1.3 mobo
Intel 2500K
OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB SSD as main HD
16 GB RAM
Gigabyte GTX 570
Antec 850W PSU

Because I'm just wondering...would installing all this stuff actually help anything? I'm not sure what they all do, and wonder if they would just compromise stability. What do you guys use?

Yeah but I like to download the stuff off their website in advance rather than going off the CD, because I feel like it's more likely to be a newer version.

And also, why? In looking over the utilities a lot of it seems gimmicky or maybe not that useful, and seems like it could easily compromise system stability or hinder performance if it's not well-implemented.

Anyone have any experience with these? Love them or hate them?

I tried the Gigabyte garbage once. Never again!

I have a feeling this is going to be the consensus, and it confirms my own hunch. Thanks guys, I'll leave them off.

I think half of the stuff there is not Gigabyte's. Like Lucidlogix Virtu or IRST. So download what you think is useful. You can google and download stuff from orginal providers.
@BIOS will be useful to update bios without booting to DOS.
