    OKAY, so my drivers are all completely out of date. I haven't touched them since setting it up (two years ago) with Ultra Male (now @Spartan@HIDevolution, btw, happy you work with them now :))

    The only reason I haven't is because I have always been overwhelmed by driver updates. My GPU fan won't kick on now so...I definitely need to update now. For reference, my NVIDIA driver is 398.35.

    I chickened out from updating them a handful of times. I don't need my hand held, but I'd appreciate some guidance. I've done some sleuthing around and so many people have different "methods" or preferences and I'm having a difficult time telling what's necessary and what's preference. Any advice or links to good advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you all in advance.
