[DRIVERS] Intel Chipset/MEI/SATA (1xx/2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx)

[XYchromosone]

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?

Thanks for coming back MoKiChu, You manage a very tight ship in these forums for all of us to keep our drivers updated, highly appreciated.

Wait so asus as big company they are, not only that they don't include latest drivers on sites of their motherboards. Yet some person has to manage drivers for them in free time and post them on forums? What is this? So i am suppose to search all topics for each driver, or what? Holly... Mokichu is god, mokichu doesn't work for asus right? I don't think... Poor guy is not even paid for this :/ I am never buying anything again from asus from multiple reasons, this is just tip on the iceberg... I don't even what is going on...

It is something that I can not understand either as a brand with the name it has does not update its page with drivers and we have to investigate and search through forums.

Of course, we must be grateful for the work that the colleague does for keeping all the threads updated and giving support when there are doubts.

Dear MokiChU ,
I hope you are fine ?
I see intel ME Driver for x299 here is number 10.1.18295.8201

The one you have or the one I already've

Thanks ,

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).

Thank you really appreciate your reply .

yup, it's honestly depressing I feel like asus has abandoned z490, there have barely been any updates on the support page. They might have shifted all their resources to z590 since intel said rocket lake is coming out q1 2021.

I built my PC a couple weeks ago and installed all the drivers from Asus' driver page for my Z490 Maximus Hero XII. Everything seems to be running well... i think. My build.

Should I install these optional driver updates that windows is offering me? Any explanation would be much appreciated. I'm having trouble even finding my current driver versions for these 4 drivers.

Apologies if this post is redundant and has already been covered. Thanks!

These are spurious updates unrelated to your chipset, they seem to be linked to the recent 20H2 Update which is still currently classed as a preview build.
Do not install as conflicts are likely.
