You can get the best IRST disk drivr from here Forum - Intel RST/RSTe Drivers (latest: v17. Gigabyte give up providing drivers after about 3 years so you will then need to rely on Windows to update the motherboard related drivers. Also check for Gigabyte BIOS updates which may be important for security.
I would check Gigabyte's web site for newer motherboard related drivers and install the latest NVidia GPU driver without all the bloatware. Since I'm not having any known problem, I think I won't update. It did say there was a latter version, but also warned that I should check the chipset manufacturer first. I downloaded their Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA). I had a brief dalliance with AMD Athlon 64 X2 back in the Socket 939 days.)Thank you for this information & link. (I'm not a fan of either company, but I have had Intel exclusively since the early days of the "core" CPUs. Over the past year, I switched to AMD Ryzen for both my primary and secondary PCs. I have never had chipset or MEI drives give me any problems.

They use the same version number scheme as Intel, whic implies that they are the Intel drivers, without any signifcant modifications.
I doubbt that the drivers at Gigabyte are customized. The MEI drivers are slightly newer at the Gigabyte site. The chipset drivers on the Intel site are newer than the ones at Gigabyte. Latest drivers: Downloads for Intel(R) Z170 Chipset Control freak, I guess, speaking relatively.) If there was anything critical needed, it would probably appear through Windows Update, if you haven't disabled driver updates. You probably don't need to update the chipset drivers. My motto, if it ain't broke, tweak it until it breaks.
