Z590 chipset driver, Windows 11

[freddy8555]

Hi,
just did a clean install of windows 11 on my ASUS ROG Strix Z590-f, 11700k but i think the chipset driver is missing?
Where can i get them for win 11?
I can only find some old ones from 2021/01/28 for win10 on the download page


Thank you

You don't really need Win 11 drivers since I haven't seen any Motherboards with a Win 11 option, yet. Most folks have problems with getting drivers because they don't realize you need to expand out the sections of the downloads page to see different drivers available.

Why ASUS puts Chipset drivers in a section that just shows an Intel ME driver, I don't know..

In the ASUS ROG Strix z590-E downloads under the "Chipset" section there's Chipset drivers, Intel MEI drivers, SerialIO drievrs & Intel GNA drivers. Also they just added Windows 11 section even though the list is not finished & the drivers say for Windows 10/11 I'm thinking very soon we'll be seeing Windows 11-only drivers, probably when the z690's get released. Their Windows 11 section wasn't there a week ago.

Many if not all of us here know there's expandable sections in their downloads sections, we're not here simply because we can't find the drivers, it's because ASUS is crap at keeping their driver downloads up to date or at least even updated more often with newer versions.

Take for example ALL the ridiculous audio issues people have had with Realtek Onboard Audio drivers from ASUS downloads & still ASUS most of the time don't upload newer versions to the point where it's left to people like Mokichu sourcing latest & compatible drivers which fixes all the issues. & Realtek is just one of the many.

I suppose you are talking to the exception then, I load all my own drivers and have not had any problems with the Realtek stuff except it is a little hard to understand how all the components fit together.

The current Win 11 is still a Win 10 build so the drivers should work fine. That may not be the case when or if, they actually change to a Win 11 build. I was looking at the Dell site and someone suggested checking the Win 11 area and the two drivers for the device in question were exactly the same.

Shame on you referring to a Z690, I just got finished building both Z490 and Z590 systems ;). But did you see the announcement of the presentation tomorrow by Intel concerning the upcoming new boards? You can click on the ROG Logo at the top of these pages and see the announcement.

MoKiChU,

The web pages you refer to above have been updated, and now provide more options for downloading drivers...

With regards to the Maximus XIII Extreme, which WiFi, Bluetooth and Audio drivers are the right ones to download now?

Thanks Again!

Hi,

Your ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Extreme have Intel WiFi/Bluetooth AX210 controller (you could have had this information via the naming of your Intel WiFi controller in your Device Manager), so you need :

- Intel WiFi Drivers (Drivers Only) :

Drivers - 9xxx/AXxxx

- Intel Bluetooth Drivers (Drivers Only) :

Drivers - 8xxx/9xxx/AXxxx

Regarding your audio drivers :

[DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (Intel 5xx/6xx & AMD 5xx/TRX40)

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of the thread.

Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.
