Problem with air 740 case

[MeatFeastMan]

I'm building a pc currently with an fx 9590 and a 990fxa ud3 r5 motherboard in a carbide air 740 case. The problem is that to install motherboard drivers I need to use a disk, but the case doesn't have a disk slot, so how would I go about installing them? I'm going to build the pc in about a month's time when I have all the components (Case, CPU, Motherboard, Cooler already bought)

 

Is there any other ways to install the drivers, or a way I can get an optical slot to put the disk in, and then attach to case somehow?

use the internet to download the drivers

just go to the website of the mobo manufacturer, find the mobo and download the drivers

Don't you have to download the drivers before you can use the pc though? I don't know how all this works, I'm just taking guesses here.

Just download the drivers from manufacturers website as said above... if you don'thave a pc at the moment to do this, ask a friend or relative.. then put those files on a USB stick, you will especially need the LAN drivers for wired and wirless (if applicable).

Windows 10 will install generic drivers for everything. Once you're up and running, you download the specific, optimized drivers for your hardware.

Oh okay, thanks for helping. I had no clue how all this stuff worked.

You can also grab an external usb-dvd drive from most electronics stores.  They're usually around 20-30 bucks, although I see cheaper ones all the time.  You might want to go ahead and grab one anyways.  You may not use them often, but if you do need one, it's better to already have it on have, then have to go to the store and find them sold out.

 

Also, even if it doesn't have a slot for it in the case, you can still connect the sata plugs to it and just have it sitting on top of the case.

Not for everything, sometimes they don't have LAN drivers, so it's best to be prepared just in case. Once you have the LAN drivers then yes it's easy enough to just get any other drivers you need after installation, I would at the very least always recommend people download the LAN drivers before starting a build/install, unless of course they have access to another PC that could be used in the event that windows doesn't install LAn drivers automatically.
