Thanks for the info about the meanwhile updated "Best matching Intel RAID ROM/EFI BIOS modules" for the Intel RST v17.5 series drivers. I forgot to update the version within the start post of this thread. The best matching BIOS module is always the latest available one of the related Intel RST development branch (here: v17.5.4.4296).

RST Driver 17.7.0.1006 WHQL support RST EFI RAID OROM 17.7.0.4041 as well.

@Fernando

Are the 17.7.x drivers/EFI/OROM all compatible with a Z370 board? I could've sworn that I read something about sticking with the 17.5 series with this board but reading all three forums (RST drivers, EFI RaidDriver, and RAID OROM) I cannot find that information anymore so I have to ask you.

Ok, thanks. So I guess it's accurate to assume that if the 17.7 series drivers support the Z370 boards then it also supports the 17.7 EFI Raid Driver and Raid OROM, yes?

Hi everyone, hoping you can help me with a small issue I'm facing...

I'm currently running an MSI Z390m with Windows 7 (many thanks to you and information from this message board), but facing slightly high idle power consumption. After looking up, it seems without RST drivers that the Package C states will not go past C2 (in my case at least), and that installing Intel RST and changing some power options can solve this issue.
I do not run a RAID setup but just normal ACHI with just the generic microsoft driver at the moment.

Is there by chance a modded version of RST 17.x that can work with my windows 7 setup? Or is there any other version I can use?

Thank you for your help

EDIT: My BIOS is set to 17.5 version at the moment

@Fernando...just wondering about your list at the beginning of the thread.

Got the USB3 fix and feel mighty grateful to the writer and you as host. Now USB3 is working as completely as I'd like on W7 with an 8th generation mobo (B360M) with an i5-8400 processor.

Now I am working on getting Win XP-x86 working on the same platform. I will pursue this in the appropriate forum but I am currently trying to gather the required information re SATA drivers, etc.

In your list, you have the C600+/C220+ SATA controller listed with a different hardware ID than mine. I am somewhat overwhelmed with the learning curve so please excuse dumb questions.

I have been through your extensive list of drivers but the most promising are rated as W7 up.

I might add that I already had Win XP working on a SATA drive on an older Intel DQ35JO mobo. However, I don't see an iaStor.sys driver listed even though one is indicated in Drive Manager from W7 for that disk.

Here is my controller:

Intel(R) C600+/C220+ series chipset SATA ACHI controller.

My SATA hardware ID for the ASUS B360M mobo:

PCI/VEN_8086&DEV_A352&SUBSYS_86941043&REV_10.

The problem I am facing right now is trying to balance the driver to the mobo, to 32-bit win xp, to a proper txtsetup.oem floppy file with the right driver. Since I got USB running on my B360M, I can use a USB floppy drive with the XP install disk to add the drivers. Don't know why the USB floppy works pre-boot but it does and I am not complaining.

@fernando....got the drivers to load with a floppy and F6. Have other issues which I have outlined in the forum:

[Guide] Integration of Intels AHCI/RAID drivers into a Windows XP/W2k3/W2k CD (62)

Thanks for all the trouble you went to writing the txtsetup.oem file, and of course, for including the drivers and writing the tutorial.
