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 : https://github.com/lostindark/Driver...eleases/latest (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 :
https://mega.nz/#!lUVUBSAL!KIp-08sOD...tFEbaANR_saIOI (Right click on "MSI_util_v2.exe" > Run as administrator).

I suggest to add a cmd to the chipset package and call the installer with the "-overall" parameter. I saw not updating without it. After a reboot it can take a while at startup because it rearranges these drivers completely.
The MEI driver running here is 12.0.2021 but don't ask me where i got it from.

Hi,



These drivers 16.5.1.1030 [12/06/2018] are older than those present on the thread (drivers 16.7.1.1012 [24/08/2018])




These drivers 1815.12.0.2021 [11/04/2018] / package 1828.12.0.1151 [11/07/2018] are older than those present on the thread (drivers 1828.12.0.1152 [12/07/2018] / package : 1831.12.0.1156 [03/08/2018])

In what thread are you saying these magic newer drivers are located? Because it's not this one.

SATA (Intel Rapid Storage Technology User Interface and Driver) has only an installer can you upload just drivers i only need the ahci to update through device manager.

I like the initiative, but it is important on some points. (my board hero IX)

1. asus website for the board, example my board, HeroIX the last oficial driver os the IME is 11.7.0.1045 (2017/12/26)
2. asus website for the board, HeroIX, the last official driver chipset is 10.1.1.45 (2017/12/26)
3. asus LAST know audio driver is 6.0.1.8273 (2017/12/26)

where the 2018 date came from. I spend a couple of hours looking those dates vs the versions on asus website.

Of course, Windows will FORCE the installation on new chipset drivers/ime if needed, leaving asus old ones out. As soon those are in problems starts making wrong readings, etc.

OR I am missing something

You can extract the installer, the files are located here : [...\RST_x64.msi\drivers.cab\x64]

Thanks i extracted the installer using Command Prompt using these arguments -a -a -p and got a x64 folder with the files i need to install through device manager.

Hi, I've always manually looked up these drivers, without heading to ASUS forums, is finding the new update for drivers/softwares from ASUS forums the best way to go now, since ASUS doesn't seem to update their driver pages?

Looking for the new softwares too such as the RAMCache III and quite tricky to know whether they work in older mobos such as CODE IX.

Hi,

I have updated them with the downloads but I have a doubt, like for example chipset driver, why release notes says driver version 10.1.14 for 8th gen core, and 10.1.16.6 for 300 series chipset, but none of them are reflected on my device manager? and instead I see the driver it's mentioned on the first post?

Maybe it's a noob question, but I really don't understand Intel drivers as they use different versions, different signed dates on their drivers... it's confusing

Thanks!
