Newbie Building Pc

[Aaaaajmnz]

Hi guys, I currently have finished gathering my pc parts and will try to build it up my own. I have a few questions and I hope someone can help me.

1.) Can I download Drivers/ driver updates on my other comp and use flashdrive to install to my newer one?

2.) Should I just leave my mobo (Mortar Max b450m) bios alone and not update it?

3.) I’m currently running a R5 3400G, do I still need to download and update the VGA driver?

You can do that if you want. Its essential the same as using the DVD driver disc that comes packaged with the motherboard.

If it works, don't touch it. Although, having the latest BIOS update may provide stability and more support for different RAM sticks.

You can probably get away by downloading from AMD's Driver and Software support page and selecting the correct drivers for the Ryzen R5 3400G.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. 

 

Yeah you just need the Adrenaline and install the "Recommended" one that is the second one down on the list. 

 

I would go through each one to install for all the different drivers as they are important to ensure the reliability of the system. I would probably skip the VGA drivers though since you will be installing the Adrenalin drivers for the 3400G.
