Yes, you can use or mix drivers from two motherboards even if they share the same BIOS version.

Hey there! Based on what you've shared, both motherboards share the same BIOS firmware version. This means you can likely use drivers from either board without issues. Even if one chipset driver is newer than the other's LAN or W10 chipset driver, mixing them should work as long as the files are compatible. Just make sure to download the correct ZIP file for your exact model and follow the installation steps carefully. Let me know if you need help finding the right files!
It appears the main difference lies in whether the software comes pre-installed with the hardware or is separate.
@Bismut The purchase didn't include any software since it was second-hand, and the chip wasn't part of the board. I learned CSM mobos come with a license for ASUS Control Center Express, but the seller I bought from mentioned they don't have the box. He's a reseller, so I'm reaching out to see if he'll recall it—this has been about two months now, which is why I asked earlier. Appreciate your help!
