New RSTe Driver - 3.2.0.1135

[RickROG]

Would this driver be the one for Rampage IV Extreme, if so why does ASUS's download section show one as old as 3.0.0.3011 I'm very confused by this RSTe/RST stuff see some people talking about RST 11.X.X.XXXX versions and then others about 3.X.X.XXXX versions. What to use?

If using Intel, always 3.X.X.XXXX versions on the RIVE.

If your not running RAID I would use the microsoft AHCI drivers!

Just curious, why?; the Intel AHCI from the 3.X.X.XXXX versions integrates and works fine; for me anyways. Is there something better about the MS over Intel?
Thanks

Installed these this morning and S.M.A.R.T. is now reporting. Didn't have time to check if TRIM was working over RAID, but the Intel SSD Toolbox is now finally working.

If someone can post how to verify if TRIM is working, I can test it out. I tried to look for some utility to verify, but came up empty-handed.

Anybody know why asus's page for RIVE board only show's 3.0.0.3011 when as far as i can tell there has been quite a few newer releases sine?

Run Command Prompt with as administrator) and enter the follow command.

fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify

If the result is '0' TRIM is enabled.

Most of the time you do not need Asus wake you up there is an update for your component. Our forum member here act better most of the time as compared with Asus driver release team.

I've experienced a few BSOD's relating to iaStorA with this latest driver. (Usually when running hWiNFO64)

Going back to the last version, as someone on station-drivers also reported this behavior. Guess that's why it's not official.

Whats the last version?
