The term chipset driver usually refers to a small computer file that is required for a computer operating system OS to recognize the motherboard inside a computer and work with it. Basic chipset drivers are typically included as part of operating system install, although motherboard manufacturers also include specific drivers to allow the most effective functionality from the motherboard.
The term is also sometimes used to describe other types of drivers used for other internal components, such as audio and video cards, though this is often seen as an inaccurate usage of the phrase.
The driver can usually be found on a compact disc CD or other media that accompanies a motherboard, or it may be downloaded from the board's manufacturer. Drivers are types of software specifically created to help an OS operate with a device or component that is a part of a computer or connected to it.
Vice-versa installations have been known to work, but they can develop problems. When you are installing a new Operating System OS from the scratch, then Windows usually makes use of the default chipset drivers for enabling the system to run properly.
These default chipset drivers might usually have limited functionality. Therefore, the first thing that you need to do when your Windows has started running is to install the latest version of the chipset drivers. It is usually considered to be safe to install the proper chipset driver before anything else as your motherboard features might not appear unless the proper chipset driver is installed into the system.
The chipset drivers play a vital role in the smooth functioning of the overall computer system. As the motherboard tends to be the central workstation of the entire computer system, you can ensure the other components are working in an effective manner as well.

Joined Oct 6, Messages Chipset drivers are not like GPU drivers. If I do not install them after installing Windows 10 anew, I don't see any problem like not being able to play games or use GPU based software.
What is the purpose of installing them? They are downloadable from AMD or Intel website or motherboard manufacturer's website. What do I gain if I install it and what do I lose if I don' install it? Joined Mar 1, Messages 8, These days, I wouldn't think much. Maybe windows doesn't have a controller driver, or something to that extent.
Maybe extended features that the motherboard controls. Denpepe [H]ard Gawd. Joined Oct 26, Messages 1, The purpose would be to have all your motherboard hardware identified and running as intended, chances are good that the latest windows build has most of this already for slightly older hardware.
Otherwise you could run into issues I think especially with USB and the sorts not working as intended. NobleX13 2[H]4U.
