A lot of people were looking for N1996 board drivers, thinking that N1996 is the model number for their MSI products, such as MSI motherboards, optical drives, VGA cards and etc.

Well, that is not the model number.

It signifies that the product may be legally sold in Australia. Now it requires EMC compliance must be marked with the C-tick logo and ACA supplier code number. Our ACA supplier code is N1996. The supplier is responsible for holding a Compliance Folder that contains compliant test reports and a Declaration of Conformity.

This is more about ACA supplier code. According to ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority), Supplier Code Number means the number issued to a person by ACA or ACMA upon application for registration to use the compliance marks (A-Tick or C-Tick).

So now you know what N1996 means for MSI products. To find the MSI drivers, you need to find out the correct MSI model numbers, for example here are few of the correct MSI model numbers/codes, hope you can see the pattern here:

1. K9N4 Ultra-F
2. K8M890M2-V
3. G965M-FIR
4. NX7600GS-TD256
5. S300-008US
6. MP54GBT3

Alternatively, I would suggest you to try a driver scanning service which will identify your hardware information and then locate the most recent driver for it. One of the more accurate is Free Driver Scan. It will save you countless hour and headache and best of all, get the working driver fast.

This MSI site will identify what drivers you need and download them:
