USB Driver Installer

[DaemonWarrior44]

I just finished building my first PC, but I don't have neither a ethernet cable nor a DVD recorder to install my motherboard drivers. I've already made a USB an OS installer using Rufus, but I don't know if it works with drivers or not.
P.S: I own another PC that does have a DVD recorder (it's an AIO, so I can't remove it).

[DaemonWarrior44]

I mean, is it possible to use the DVD recorder from the AIO to make a USB a driver installer (with Rufus or any other software)?

You don't need a disc to install drivers. You can go to the manufacture's website, download the drivers, and put them on your Rufus flash drive in a new folder. Just plug into your new PC, install your drivers, and enjoy. You're going to need chipset, network, and maybe utility drivers if you want them. Look up your motherboard on google and it should take you to the support site.

You don't need any driver to install the os, just install them afterwards

I've already installed the OS, I meant that maybe it's possible to do the same with drivers.
P.S: Linux Mint.

you already have drivers, thats how it got installed.

 

If you want better ones, you can install different ones.

With linux, you don't have to install any drivers(with some rare exceptions). it comes preinstalled with the os.

 

What hardware

None, integrated (Intel Pentium G4560).
Also, the motherboard includes cFosSpeed and Norton licences...

[DaemonWarrior44]

@Electronics Wizardy and before you ask, the Pentium is just for now (until I can afford a much better one).

That included software is useless and doesn't work on linux

 

You don't need to install any drivers. There all included in the os

all the drivers are included in the os. Don't download them from the mobo's website.

and there already in use. Don't worry about drivers. You only really need them for things like a nvidia gpu(not for amd)

So, do I have to enter the BIOS if I want to control fan speeds manually? Or is it possible to do it from the desktop?
Also, how do I control audio frequencies?

depends on the exact board and what there controlling the fans with. Normally the bios works fine though.

 

Id probably just leave the fans at min speed, it will make very little heat

 

To measure temps install lm_sensors with apt install -y lm_sensors

 

then run sensors to get the temps

And audio? I mean, does Linux have an equalizer like Windows?
