Other devices -PCI -SM Bus These are needing drivers.
I did not install my mother boards Asus utility as I thought it might be malware and included bloat like Norton which can be unchecked. All worked well except this one item
I wet to ASUS and saw utilities but there are 9 drivers listed and I don't know which it is or if it is Asus to begin with.
Can I just downlead each at a time or should I reinstall and include the ASUS utility?
 

That's one method to install a missing device. The other is right click the device, click the Details tab and select the 'Hardware Ids' property.
Note the VID_####& and PID_#### portions
VID = Vendor Identification
PID = Product Identification or Device Identification
Then you can use a site such as Find unknown devices using a vendor and device ID. | Device Hunt to look up the device info
 

Solution
Most ASUS boards will not allow you to install the wrong driver, however normally the chipset goes first then it doesn't really matter what order you do the others

as a long time ASUS user I never install the utility myself but I also don't need to
 

I tried not installing the Asus utility but that is where drivers were lost. When I checked what I wanted only and did install it, my drivers show up and device manager is ok.
I don't like it but it is what it is.
Thanks all for replying.
