Update chipset drivers?

What is the general consensus here regarding keeping chipset drivers up to date? I have an Asus Tuf X570 Pro WiFi II... I have not updated it's chipset drivers. Should I update my chipset drivers? And, if so, should I grab them from AMD or from Asus? I've seen quite a bit of conflicting information regarding this topic elsewhere...

When it comes to any driver, it's often best not to update it. If you are playing a game that has compatibility issues, or you are aware of a security flaw, or you have encountered a problem with your system and are troubleshooting, those are good reasons to update, but if a system is running smoothly, the less changes to the software, the better. I even went the extra mile and disabled all windows updates on my desktop because it was annoying me.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

especially if you've never updated you probably should  - however if everything is working how it should there isn't really a reason to update.
