I'll be doing a clean install (new M.2 drive).
Is there an order in which I should install the drivers? I have downloaded the latest from the site.
The order I have is:
1) Chipset
2) Intel ME
3) Intel Turbo Boost
4) Intel RAID Management
5) Network
6) Audio (Creative)
7) Audio Driver (SB_Recon3)
8) .NET
9) USB3
Why are there two audio drivers? I checked in device management and I have SB Recon3Di installed.

Intel Driver Installation Order excerpt: Last Reviewed: 30-Nov-2016 Article ID: 000005830 Driver installation order is one of the most crucial issues regarding overall system performance. It's critical to install the Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF) before all other device drivers. See the table below for the recommended installation order. 1 The operating system. 2 The latest operating system service pack and patches. 3 The Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Utility). 4 All other device drivers (audio, graphics, LAN, and so on). You can install these drivers in any order. Only load what you are going to use RE: RAID driver

I used the DVD Install order that came with the MB for Windows 7 & 8.1. Once Completed then I updated the drivers as needed.

The only thing I did out of order were the Intel i218-v drivers. I installed the drivers during the installation on my X99 FTW K, of Windows 10. This way, after initial boot into the OS, I was already activated. Then pretty much followed the remaining order. Doesn't seem to have effected my system's performance

For some reason, every time I use the CD (auto) to install drivers, it breaks my computer. Right after installing USB3 drivers, my mouse and keyboard do not work. I can't do anything, even safe mode is broken. I have to install everything manually. This time when installing Intel ME drivers, I got an error saying driver framework wasn't installed (kmdf-1.11). I didn't have that happen to me when I first built this system. Maybe a newer BIOS version brought this out?
I downloaded all the drivers from EVGA, the drivers for my video card, and a couple updates from Windows (to fix the update issue).

I've not installed drivers from a CD in aged. I just keep them on a drive in the DRIVERS folder... I just purged it the other day. Had some stuff clear back from and old Tri-core AMD build.

+1. When I'm going to do a fresh OS install, I get all the current drivers I'll need in advance and save them to a folder on a seperate drive. Then once the new OS install is done, I have them all nice and handy...

I have a flash drive specifically put aside for all the drivers on all my machines. I usually have last three releases of each set of drivers, in case something is wrong with the latest. I have three folders (two desktops and one laptop). I always install the AHCI and LAN drivers during the OS install...then follow the order above. So far, so good!

KB & Mouse are in USB 2.0 ports, when you install USB 3.0 driver ? Why use the CD ? Copy newest driver to your HD. I always use the newest drive that is not Beta driver I'll also keep a copy of the previous driver till done testing; as the newest driver could have undocumented issues.

The keyboard and mouse are in USB2 ports. Even when this motherboard was brand new, I used the CD during the first driver install. I used auto-run and right after the USB3 drivers were installed, and the system restarted, I no longer was able to use the mouse/keyboard. I then had to a reinstall as I wasn't able to get to safe mode either.
The only way to fix this was to manually install the drivers, but I soon realized that if I didn't install the USB3 drivers last, I would run into the same issue.
I'm not sure why, but this is the only way I'm able to get the board to work.
