Software bundled with the ASUS ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI

In terms of software, it’s worth mentioning that ASUS doesn’t force you to install anything on your computer. However, there are things you can download and install if you want to, including a couple of useful utilities that I recommend you do get:

• ASUS DriverHub is a tool for managing and updating ASUS hardware drivers and utilities. It detects your hardware, lists available updates, and allows easy installation of drivers individually or in bulk. It keeps evidence of System Installation History, it gives you device and driver details, UEFI/BIOS and OS information, and access to other software that you can download. It’s good for keeping your computer updated and running well, but I don’t like the fact that it automatically selects software that you may not want to install, like Norton 360, USB Wattage Watcher, WinRAR, or CPU-Z. Make sure to manually choose what gets downloaded and installed on your computer.

ASUS DriverHub helps you get the required drivers

• The main application for professional creators is ASUS’ ProArt Creator Hub, which lets you monitor your system, manage resources, and optimize it for content creation. It also includes some Pantone color management utilities, helping you maintain color accuracy in your projects.

• ASUS Control Center Express is a software tool that helps businesses monitor and manage their ASUS devices in real-time. It offers features like hardware and software monitoring, security controls, and remote management. This tool is aimed at improving productivity and security by allowing IT administrators to oversee multiple devices in order to make sure they all run smoothly and securely. To get access to all the features, you’ll need to use the activation card bundled with the motherboard.

I recommend installing ASUS DriverHub if you want an easy way to download and install the required drivers for the motherboard. The other software available from ASUS may or may not be useful to you, depending on how you’re using your computer and what you want to do with it. The good news is that nothing’s forced down your throat, so you can choose.
