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,

I reread it, and no, there is no mistake.

I got it, makes sense now. Was quite late last night when I read it.

Hi,

- Motherboards with Intel 2xx series chipsets are not compatible with 17.8.x drivers branch and more recent except for motherboards with some Intel 2xx series chipsets whose support is currently maintained. This is why the all Intel 2xx series chipsets is not marked as compatible with 17.8.x drivers and more recent.
- Motherboards with Intel 3xx series chipsets are not compatible with 18.30.x drivers branch and more recent except for motherboards with some Intel 3xx series chipsets whose support is currently maintained. This is why the all Intel 3xx series chipsets is not marked as compatible with 18.30.x drivers and more recent.

Note : I already see questions arrived "which is the most optimal then ?", the most optimal is to respect what there is written on the first post of this thread, so, if you don't have motherboard with Intel 3xx series chipset, don't use the 17.8.x drivers branch and more recent, if you don't have motherboard with Intel 4xx series chipset, don't use the 18.30.x drivers branch and more recent.

Thanks for your reply MoKiChU. This is interesting, let me explain why. The hardware ID for the "Storage controller/Intel Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium controller" for my Z390 is "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104"

The iaStorAC.inf file found in Driver Ver=07/17/2020,18.30.0.1135 specifically found in the folder "Intel RST v18.30.0.1135\F6\NonVMD\f6flpy-x64" has the same hardware ID, specifically the first one in the hardware ID list:

"%PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104.DeviceDesc% = RAID_inst, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104"

BTW the inf file "iaStorHsa_Ext.inf" found in "Intel RST v18.30.0.1135\F6\HsaExtension" also has hardware ID "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104"

So this tells me that v18 is indeed compatible with the Z390 chipset, and not just for the Z4xx

This is why I installed v18, but I asked on this thread if there is any known issue if I installed v18 on a Z3xx because the first post suggests v18 is only for Z4xx chipsets. My PC is running fine with v18, so it should because 2 of the driver's inf files has the z390 hardware ID as I've explained above. If v18 wasn't compatible with z390 the inf files in the 2 folders I mentioned above would not mention the hardware ID for the Z390. Do you see my point?

Read my previous post again, I have already explained that some 3xx series chipsets HW ID were compatible 18.30.x drivers branch (including your Z390 RAID HW ID or my Z370 AHCI HW ID), but that it's not optimal to use them and this is why the all Intel 3xx series chipsets are not marked as compatible with 18.30.x drivers. But if you want to use this branch at all costs, do what you want, of course.

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. When I get time, I shall run some SSD benchmarks with v18 and v17 to see if there might be any impact on the speed of the SSD with either driver version. This is what my original question was based on. I don't know of any app or any way to test for "compatibility" for a particular driver except for benchmarking and stability/stress testing?

Dear MokiChU ,
I hope you are fine ?
I see intel ME Driver for x299 here is number 10.1.18295.8201
and The one I've CHIPSET_Intel_v10.1.18383.8213_X299


So my question to you which one is newer ?
The one you have or the one I already've

Thanks ,
ABF

Hi,

You need 10.1.18295.8201 version as indicated in the first post of this thread (10.1.18383.8213 version and more recent does not contain all the drivers your chipset needs).
