Hello
After the first installation of the window, I encountered this pop-up... an MSI drivers utility installer. Should I install it or leave everything unchecked?
Thank you

More information needed.
Update your post to include full system hardware specs and intended Windows OS information.
Where did you get Windows? Source?

MSI needs to support installing utilities.
Which items are included in "everything"?
Please take a screenshot and share it via imgur (www.imgur.com).
In general, if the source is MSI directly, everything should work fine.
Please review carefully.
Just to make sure no unwanted software or apps are added.

I would immediately bypass: Norton 360, MSI Wall paper, MSI Center, CPU-Z MSI Gaming, AIDA64 Extreme MSI Edition. Unless there is a particular need and advantage from having them installed, skip it. It's quite simple to search online for each tool to understand what they do and whether they're useful. Start without them—if later it's confirmed they're necessary, install then. Probably not essential, but that's just my opinion. The decision to install or not can spark many more debates with different pros and cons.

But do include the rest of the drivers on the list? Such as AMD chipset and RealTalk?

Save drivers directly without using any third-party tools or installers.

I put in Realtek ones, AMD chipset and Amd GPU, left the rest off. Can anyone assist with my tower fans? They're extremely loud, like a plane, around 1400 RPM. I'm not sure why they're so noisy. The BIOS says they should auto-regulate, right? They're connected to System1 and System2 pins. The case is a Lian Li 216, no RGB.

I recommend initiating a separate thread for the tower fans in Cases. Ensure you provide complete system hardware details and operating system information.
