Device manager shows wrong Intel chipset drivers on ga-z68x-ud3h-B3

Hey,

I wonder why Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit, shows the wrong chipset drivers?

I look in Device Manager->System devices->double click on "Intel(R) 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1...", select the driver pane. It informs me that the Driver provider is Intel, driver date 7/25/2013, driver version 9.2.0.1035.

But the newest Intel driver is 9.4.0.1026. I downloaded it directly from Intel, installed it, and device manager still shows 9.2.0.1035

I also tried it with the drivers provided by Gigabyte. I installed all new drivers I could find with same result.

Do I have the newest drivers or is there something wrong?

thank you!

There has to be something wrong. I just tried it on my x79 board and got the same thing. Before I say something is broke I'm going to try one thing.

Update: I install the management program too and it still didn't work. When is gets to where you going to install it. It really doesn't do any thing.

It usually goes through a list of stuff that is being installed. It didn't do that. But it says that it is installed and click finish.

I tried that too. Same result as yours.

I also tried the Intel driver update utility here:  http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect

It shows I have the latest drivers, even though device manager reports something else.  This is so weird.

I don't know what to tell you on that. I just did it to see if it would do the same thing as yours.

I normally don't do hardware updates. I have a saying that if isn't broke don't fix it.

I would try that Intel program. But where I have to install Java I will not run it. I don't like anything of Java on my computer.

All I can say is email Intel and Gigabyte to see what they have to say about it.

I doubt this is a real problem.

If you look at the release notes the update is targeted at specific CPU's

*  Version: 9.4.0.1026
*  Target PCH/Chipset: Xeon(R) processor E3-1200 v3,Intel(R) 4th Gen Core processor
*               Intel(R) 8 Series,C220 Series
*  Date: August 05 2013

Having run the update the only part that seems to update is the inf utility itself all the individual chipset parts dont change ie still 9.2.0.1035



There are newer releases on station drivers which again behave the same-I think the update has to be relavant for your specific CPU.
