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).

Thank you very much! Have one question: i have Maximus IX Hero motherboard (z270), but found hardware id of my AHCI controller in iaAHCIC.inf from this latest drivers for 3xx/4xx, they're installing well. Should i keep 3xx/4xx version or use 1xx/2xx?

Hi,

Motherboards with Intel 2xx series chipsets are not compatible with these drivers except for motherboards with Intel Z270 or X299 chipsets whose support is currently maintained.

This is why the Intel 2xx series chipsets is not marked as compatible.

How do I verify the Chipset drivers were installed?

Hi,

You can see the version of the package in your installed apps (Windows Settings > Apps).

If you want see the drivers versions, the easiest and fastest way is to use Driver Store Explorer (because the devices are different according to the motherboards) by looking in System devices at the Intel .inf ending with system and which have the field of the last column Device Name filled.

Note (from Intel) : Intel(R) Chipset Device Software uses an unusual date for the devices it is targeting. The date 07/18/1968 is symbolic - Intel was founded that day. The reason this date is used is to lower the rank of Intel(R) Chipset Device Software. This is necessary because it's a supporting utility that should not overwrite any other drivers.

Ok, these are the only ones I see with a date like that. Not the same version number. Wrong or correct?

Quick question regarding SATA controller: in case of having a classic sata hdd attached to one of the sata connectors to the motherboard, placed as an extra storage next to the NVMe dedicated to Windows, would this hdd need to have the SATA controller active in bios so for it to regularly be seen by Windows at boot?

I haven't tried to disable the SATA controller in this machine to see if the hdd doesn't show up at boot, as I have some tasks on that disk ruining at startup that is a bit complicated to pause, so sorry for maybe asking a silly and rather easy question to check my self.

Thank you.

Hi,

If an SATA HDD is used, of course, SATA controller must keeped enabled (and therefore the SATA AHCI drivers is needed).

Hi,

I don't understand why you are making a link between a GPU and the chipset drivers of your motherboard ? Unless you think wrongly that the chipset drivers are iGPU drivers.

But to answer you simply, yes the chipset drivers are necessary, whether you are using a dedicated GPU or you are using the iGPU of your CPU.
