Hi where can i find the newest win7 64 drivers for asrock extreme6 z97

[sebastian869]

Hi guys was wondering what you think is the best way to get the most current update of the asrock DVD effectively, that is the drivers and a few programs that came on the disk. Intel for some reason seems to be worthless, that is their scanning software. They hare a prog you DL and supposed to tell you what drivers to DL. At least for me its worthless.
I noticed a weird thing. Newer versions like the "USB 3.1" for ex. It seems to have the same driver models and dated to mostly the 2015 erra. Was wondering if they are usable one like the INF, the on board sound, ME the basic and important ones.
Im only interested in a few to make the chase easier for ex.
Realtek high definition audio driver ver:7004 (I know a new version had been release .7240)
The INF Chipset driver INF driver ver:10.0.21
Intel Management Engine driver ver:10.0.31.1000 though the Windows 7 64bit ver:10.0.30.1054 and the 6 AC version has Windows 7 64bit ver:10.0.0.1204
Realtek LAN driver has Windows 7 ver:7.86.508.2014 and ver:7086 I dont understand
LAN Driver Windows 7 64bit ver:19.0.27.0
ASMedia SATA3 Windows 7 64bit ver:2.0.8.0 (ASMedia ASM1061)
ASMedia USB 3.0 Windows 7 64bit ver:1.16.15.0 (Seems ASMedia ASM1042AE is the driver)
And INTEL USB 3 Windows 7 64bit ver:3.0.1.41
With the Rates of flaws and hacks found and increases in performance I've been really trying hard to get upgraded drivers.
I cant seem to manage to find updates from Asmedias site like one at least sort of can on intels.
　
P.S. Why are there an intel Lan and Realtek and asmedia? I Always though realtek did audio.
Smart connect does not seem real vital and Rapid start is convenient but again not vital.
ALSO IVE COME across a INF FILE v10.0.26 but dont know if its for our MOBOS and as far as i know there is a USB Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver_3.0.5.69.zip and
LAN_Win7_64_PROWin_19.1.exe though not CERTAIN IF its for out LAN.
REALLY need help with all ASMEDIA and INF files, Intel Management Engine driver, Realtek Lan driver, Lan driver ver:19.0.27.0
AND DO YOU STILL HAVE TO INSTALL THE *For Windows 7 (32 / 64 bit) OS, please install Windows Update KB2685811 before installing Intel ME driver. BEFORE Intel Management Engine driver though it only says that now on the Z97 Extreme6/ac
This is one of the best ive come across that may help you out" https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/70898/Intel-Desktop-Board-DZ87KLT-75K"
REALLY BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY NEW IDEAS asrock seem to be a dead end. Good Hardware bad Tech support. BTW NOT CERTAIN THE INF FILE I FOUND on intel is legit and installable Chip set_10.0.26_Public
Thanks,
Sebastian

ASMedia Downloads

Are you having problems with your devices or something?

 

[sebastian869]

This is a descent intel link
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/70898/Intel-Desktop-Board-DZ87KLT-75K

but for some reason the link u sent does not allow DL or im just doing something wrong and to make it more confusing the 2 asmedia drivers ASMedia SATA3 Driver ver:2.0.8.0 and ASMedia USB 3.0 driver ver:1.16.15.0
Dont seem to dl off asmedia site.

Ive found DL there but been dupped before and cought virus as result so im real weary of getting drivers Drivers & Downloads.

Evern had issue with realtek and was a site identical but instead of realtelhahla.com.tw it said .com thank god i noticed as it was not doing anything when i pressed the link.
The intel dl that supposed to help you find the drivers is BS so im lost and the mobo site is out dated.

Thanks

What version of the Ex6-Z97 do your have? The drivers will be motherboard specific. Always install the INF first. The Intel utility is for Intel boards ONLY. Get your drivers from ASRock.

ASRock > Z97 Extreme6

ASRock > Z97 Extreme6/3.1

 

[sebastian869]

I have the extreme6 (generic, non 3.1 or Ac)
But good to learn what to do first when doing a fresh install. These days so much progress is going and and security flaws found and improvements from the hardware you already have it makes a lot of sense to upgrade everything you can.

ONLY exception is a new release of MS windows. Id wait for a service pack before i look into upgrading

Thanks,
Sebastian

P.s. is there any real difference between the generic 6 and the 3.1 The drivers models numbers are the same yet a lot read newer release dates. What really pisses me off is how bad intel driver id is. That POS cant id one piece of intel hardware on my mobo

That's because Intel will only supply stock drivers for its hardware on non-Intel motherboards. If your motherboard OEM has implemented custom features of a chipset, the utility won't recognize it. The chipsets are programmable and the OEM is responsible for the hardware/firmware programming. That's why it is the upmost importance to use OEM supplied drivers, especially the INF installer since this is what identifies the hardware to Windows. The hardware might work with stock drivers but special features that the OEM programmed in the chipsets won't.

got ya, what do you think is the best way to get asmedia drivers as either im retarded or then dont dl off their site.

 

[Boozad]

From the ASRock website in my first link or in either of Ken's links.

Are you getting some kind of error or what?

It works for me. Took under a minute for ASmedia driver package. All my downloads go to a special folder on my data drive. As such, I clicked on the USA link then clicked Save As. This gives you the option of where to put the file. If you just click Save, it will download to your default "download" folder.

 

[sebastian869]

thanks but that just look like a win dl its pro gonna do the same as win update, its descent at finding drivers but i cant seem to dl asmedia drivers at least off their site, BTW do u know any good site for drivers

 

[carwiz]

The BEST site is ASmedia.

Sounds like you didn't even try. All you have to do is click on the download link and save the file to disk. When it finishes, unzip it and read the setup/install notes.
