I just reformatted my computer and I would like to know if I should install the drivers that came on the CD. I have an Asus a8n sli premium. Thanks!
 
Given that the mobo is ancient in motherboard tech years, I'd go to Asus's website and download the latest drivers they have available. The drivers on the included driver CD are usually outdated by the time you get your mobo even it's brand new.
 
If you were having no problems with your MB prior to the reformat, at leaast the drivers on the disc are all in one place.

Given this is an nvidia chipset, you could just go to the nvidia website and grap the drivers you need..........commonly chipset and NIC are all you need unless you have RAID, or use onboard sound.

ASUS website tends to be dated for older boards and slower than dirt.

Obviously you will need to grab GPU drivers and any other software to support hardware you might use.....plus various utilities.
