Asus Rampage V software

[ADM-Ntek]

so i just my board and am about to install windows. and just looked at the software on the asus support page and was wondering what of it is actually useful necessary and what is just bloat ware or unnecessary. i know i wont need the audio drivers since i have a xonar DX and i also don´t plan to use the bluetooth at the moment.

Some people, like myself, find it useful.  With AI suite you can control your fan speeds quite well, as well as overclock without having to boot to bios.  

I would recommend installing drivers for everything, because otherwise you will have components in your device manager that windows won't know what to do with.  

Honestly that motherboard probably has equal, if not better, sound quality compared to that soundcard.  That soundcard is designed for supplying decent audio on motherboards whose onboard audio was utter garbage (which hasn't been the case on most motherboards for several years).

so looks like i bricked my DX when removing the power plug the pins broke. but at least i can confirm the onboard audio is superior not a single crack in songs were i would get some with the DX.
