Hi everyone,
- Intel Chipset Drivers :
Install/Update Process :
Launch "CHIPSET_Intel_vxx.x.xxxxx.xxxx.exe"
- Intel MEI Drivers (Drivers Only) :
Install/Update Process :
Launch "Install.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > Automatic restart when install is done
- Intel SATA AHCI-RAID Drivers (Drivers Only) :
Install/Update Process :
- Press Windows key + X > Device Manager > Right-click on your Intel SATA device > Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software
- Browse... > Select the extracted drivers folder (SATA_AHCI-RAID_Intel_v...) > Next
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).

Question, how often should I be updating these for my mobo? I just got my PC in September, and I have the Maximus XII Hero Wi-Fi. I followed all of your firmware and driver threads maybe last month or maybe the month before so they're all still pretty recent, a few even still being the most up to date version. I don't know a whole lot about computers in terms of these things, but I obviously don't seem to have any issues on the current versions I have.

Well it's up to you, I prefer the latest drivers. Now WIndows has released the latest October update so if your up to date with windows I should update to the latest drivers also.

I mean what kind of impact will I see being a version or 2 behind? A few of these drivers were a pain to do because they don't install properly unless you follow the special tutorial that OP posted. I also am not on the new October windows update, I'm still on Version 2004 build 19041.685 and my mobo's BIOS is what it shipped with too. Not sure what I should do

Well it depends, depends on the bugs or what ever the driver are fixing.
The installation of the drivers are not hard to do. Click on a file and then after installation reboot the computer all done.

As I stated some are not so simple. I had to do some weird stuff to get most of these to work lol. How about the BIOS updates though? We seem to have the same mobo from ur specs, I have yet to update mine from whatever it came with stock. Do I need to update that if I don't exactly see any issues currently?

I’m recommending to update bios as it’s has new microcode and the BAR function etc.

Ok I'm doing the couple drivers that were out of date, and they were much easier to install this time around (appears it was due to the original management software that was auto installed on my PC showing in the Add or Remove Programs)
BIOS Version 1003 is newest right? ALSO, can I install the BIOS using the EZ Flash Utility (it's easier for me than using a USB)? And should I update my Intel ME Firmware before or after the new BIOS?

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.
