New Intel Chipset drivers November 20, 2013

November 20, 2013 New Intel Version 9.4.0.1027 of Intel's Chipset Device Software is now available. This update adds support for about a half dozen new devices.
Intel's INF updates are not drivers in the most technical sense, but are instead updates to important files that tell Windows how to use Intel integrated hardware. However, I usually still refer to them as drivers.
Note: If you're not experiencing any issues with your hardware then this update probably isn't necessary, though I've rarely seen Intel chipset driver updates cause any problems.

This updated Intel chipset driver (linked above) works for both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP, and only with the following Intel chipsets:

• Intel 3 Series Chipsets
• Intel 4 Series Chipsets
• Intel 5 Series Chipsets
• Intel 6 Series Express Chipsets
• Intel 7 Series Express Chipset
• Intel 8 Series Chipsets
• 2nd Generation Intel Core Chipsets
• 3rd Generation Intel Core Chipsets
• 4th Generation Intel Core Chipsets
• Intel 800 Series Chipsets
• Intel 900 Series Chipsets
• Intel Xeon 3400 Series Chipsets
• Intel Xeon 5500/3500 Series Chipsets
• Intel Server/Workstation Chipset

Important: If your Intel chipset isn't listed above, or you're not sure what motherboard you have (or if it's even an Intel motherboard or one with an Intel chipset), you can always perform any Intel related updates using their automatic Intel Driver Update Utility.

Thank you Kenna. First post updated.

My motherboard is an ASUS Z87-A with an i5 4670-k processor if I'm not mistaken, it needs this update anyone know for sure? Thanks! Found answer, I'm up to date already.

What's the current state-of-the-art thinking on how necessary this software is?

I think I read 2 or 3 years ago that it is increasingly less important on Win 7, but that many still use it because "it can't hurt".

Is it found on OEM PCs?

What is the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility?

I noticed that my Intel chipset software was from 6/21/06 and the Intel updater said there were two updates available .One for the graphics and one for the chipset.

The graphics driver installed but put Bluetooth capability on board although one aspect of that said it could not start .

The chipset driver would not install successfully though for some reason.


My laptop is a Asus U56E win 7 64 bit sp1

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Do you have any reason to believe the new version would be useful?

You'd probably see what improvements it offers in the release notes.

Are you experiencing any problems that are referred to in the release notes?

Generally, you don't need to update it barring specific issues. Just like drivers in general, but I realize some folks just can't help themselves and think they are missing something. I prefer to let sleeping dogs lie--particularly for firmware and BIOS updates that can render hardware useless if they go wrong.

Thanks so much for your very informational packed post , actually no, i don't have any reasons to update drivers just because they are available , i suppose i think it would give me a possibly littler more responsive system.

My computer runs fine , i just think that since i bought the laptop quite a few years ago , it has an intel i5 2430 processor , 8 gigs of ram and runs win 7 sp1 64 bit and i see drivers from quite a few years ago (thats what the dates show at least) i needed to change to newer versions .

You seem to be saying that is far from the case .

Thank you so much , learned something new today.

For those interested in, there's some WHQL new Intel Chipset .inf version 10.1.1.7, that seems to work from Intel 7 series /C216 (Z77) to those latest Intel® 100 Series chipset platforms.

I have attached a .zip file for the Intel v10.1.1.7.

All system peripherals in the Devices Manager are updated to latest v10.1.1.7 (June 16, 2015), but the USB Enhanced Host Controller stays at v9.3.0.1030 (July 31, 2013).

Run the command as Admin: "SetupChipset.exe -overall" (without quote) and reinstall your Intel RST Drivers & Software.

See by yourself on screenshots.



Otherwise latest official Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) are Version: 10.0.27 (Latest) , Date: May 07, 2015

Try as stand-alone installer from the Intel site (see first page).

Use the command -overall, that you can find a little tutorial HERE.

Cheers, NoN!

Thanks a lot NoN, will give it a whirl.

OK NoN , following the tutorial but stuck in the middle of the command prompt part , seems i can't get past the cd chip part to type in setup exe-overall -override
Any ideas.

I renamed the setup exe to chip.exe

That tutorial shows the cmd prompt running as admin,

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html

When i am in the admin account the command prompt starts with C:\Users which is whats shown in the tutorial , when i am in the admin account and click run as admin it starts with Windows system 32 which is not showing in the tutorial .

 

[derekimo]

It is also written out in step 3, (And clearly labeled on top of the window)

3) Press the START MENU button > All Programs > Accessories > then right click on Command Prompt and choose Run As Administrator

As to why theirs is opening to C:\Users, I'm not sure about that. I just pointed out the obvious from your previous screenshot.
