    help!! after a fresh install on my desktop, Device Manager shows a PCI Simple Communications Controller with a yellow mark... everything seems to work, but i hate leaving unknown devices around 😅 does ASRock 880GMH/USB3 Bios include the driver for this?? how do i find out what this device actulaly is before installing random packages? i'd rather not use driver updater tools if i can avoid it. pls help 🙏

    Download drivers from the PC or motherboard maker's support page for your exact model. Their package lists usually include chipset, ME, serial IO and platform drivers.

    oof common mappings: SM Bus Controller usually needs the chipset package; PCI Simple Communications Controller is often the Management Engine interface; Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller often relates to thermal or platform drivers.
