Do I need to update X570 chipset driver as well?

Hi all, I updated my brand new X570 Aorus Master through Q-Flash Plus and I'm using a 5900X. Thing is, no one ever mentions to update the chipset driver. Should I? If so, what does it improve? I see an available update on Gigabyte's website. 

 

Thanks.

You should do that once you're in windows.
To boot into your CPU you will only need the BIOS (usually)
I just did it yesterday on my MSI board, only BIOS

people mention it a lot here in fact. and yes, generally it's better to do chipset first then bios, but it should be fine if you install chipset now...

I actually download AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin so it scanned the system and installed all necessary updates including chipset drivers. Thank you all!
