I have an ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi Motherboard.

All is working fine in Windows 11 with no missing drivers.

I just spotted the Asus web site for my board has these drivers which I didn't originally install. What do they do and do I need them noting nothing is missing in Device Manager?

Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology (APO) Driver V1.0.11401.38408
Intel GNA Driver V3.0.0.1457
Intel SerialIO Software V30.100.2237.26

There are several drivers installed with the chipset driver. Yes YOU DO need them.

Hardware Unboxed just released a video about the new/updated APO driver and how it works. According to them it is supposed to only work with 14th gen CPUs. And this is from Intel.

    I'm a computer enthusiast so have quite a few systems that I run. More like an advanced hobby.

I have a 13th Gen Intel i7-13700K CPU so that driver is not for me!
