OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements : Motherboards with Intel 1xx/2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx series chipsets (except Intel X299 chipset).

TIPS :

If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore
Use Driver Store Explorer (Right click on "Rapr.exe" > Run as administrator).

If you want better interrupts delivery latency
Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with
MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_Mode_Utility_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).

Hi MoKiChU,

First of all, thank for you supplying the drivers. I have a question about Serial IO Drivers.

Intel Serial IO Drivers (Drivers Only) :

Drivers - 3xx/4xx : 30.100.2132.2 WHQL [02/08/2021]

There is also a newer driver exists (Version: 5.123.1.1030 which is dated as 15.11.2024).

Is there specific reason why you are not sharing this newer one? Should i use the old one you shared instead?

Thank you again.

Hi,

Intel Serial IO v5.x.x.x drivers branch are AIMed for Corporate motherboards and not AIMed for Consumer motherboards.

What exactly does this do? Switch devices to better performance mode?

Hi,

You will find an zipped pdf attached to this post which contains a detailed analysis by Intel. Here is the conclusion :

Conclusion

MSI provides a significant reduction in interrupt latency over the previous two generations of Intel interrupt architecture. The benefits extend beyond a reduction in interrupt latency to a reduction in CPU utilization by eliminating the time spent by the CPU determining what interrupt needs servicing (by polling devices and masking interrupt controllers). Embedded developers considering Intel® architecture for a solution or currently developing one should fully adopt the MSI model for interrupt delivery and servicing to ensure not only the best IO performance for their solution, but also the most CPU headroom for user-applications and other interrupts. In summary, MSI provides the following key benefits to the embedded developer over previous interrupt architectures:

• Increased number of interrupts to support more devices and peripherals.
• Dramatic reduction in the delay from when a device needs servicing to when the CPU begins servicing the device.
• Simplified board design: no need for an interrupt controller (IOAPIC/PIC).
• Flexible interrupt priority assignment scheme.
• Interrupt load balancing across CPUs. Devices can direct interrupts to specific cores to leverage common caches and to ensure equal workloads on all CPUs.

Enabling MSI mode can also help to fix (when only disabling Fast Startup/Hibernation did not fix it) the crackling, popping, audio stutter issues.

[Omarkoman]

what about chipset drivers for the Z890 series?

I have lot of missing devices/drivers for my ROX Strix Gaming Z9890-H board in device manager.

Hi,

You are in the wrong thread for your motherboard.

Here is the correct thread for your motherboard : [DRIVERS] Intel Chipset/MEI/VMD/Serial IO/GNA/DTT/HID/PMT (6xx/7xx/8xx).
