My board uses the latest X99 chipset. Not sure if it's the 8 or 9 series chipset.
Should I stick to the 13.1.0.1058 just to be safe
Yes, I recommend to use this driver.
By the way: The Intel X99 Chipsets do not belong to the Intel 8- or 9-Series Chipsets.

Thanks for your advice.
I believe that 8-9 chipset series are only for the Z87 and Z97 chipsets?
My cpu is the 5930K, which is Haswell-E.

No, there are a lot of other Intel 8- and 9-Series Chipsets (H81, Q85, B85, Q87, H87 and H97). They all have an LGA 1150 CPU socket, whereas X79 and X99 chipsets have an LGA 2011 CPU socket and belong to the C600/C600+ Series Chipsets.

Then how the RST(e) that would install into my X99 chipset(C600/C600+ series) works on the Intel series 8-9 as well?
I mean, I shouldn't be using the RSTe that is design just for the C600/C600+x99 system?

I agree with you, Gigabyte has told me to use the RST(e) the 13.1.0.1058 version if I plan to enable RAID, even if these drivers are design for the Intel series 8-9

Simple reason: The Intel RST(e) driver v13.1.0.1058 may give your X99 system a better performance than the RSTe drivers v3.x.x.xxxx resp. v4.x.x.xxxx.

Hello Fernando

My mind is confused now. I'm using Asus P8z68-V motherboard with Windows 7 x64 Raid 0. Which version is the best for me? :) I'm using v13.2.4.1000 now. I'll update my bios with UBU later. Will i have to change my IRST version later?

@ cunket:

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
I recommend to use the Intel RST(e) v12.9 combo.

@Fernando
or anyone else ofcourse ;)

Can anyone tell me what is currently the best (performance/stability-wise) version of OROM to have for an Z87 mobo?
And which driver version should go with it?

I am going to finish my build with an Z87 MPOWER board and an intel G3258 Pentium (yes the unlocked one :))
So having this info ready would be useful ;)

Please look >here<.
There is no big difference between Z97 and Z87 systems regarding the performance in AHCI or RAID mode.

Thanks so that will be either 13.1 or 13.6 then :)
Thanks now I have it narrowed down :)

@Fernando
I suppose the 13.6 driver was used together with the 13.5 OROM which you have listed in your other thread is it not?
And the 13.1 driver with the 13.1 OROM, right?

or let me put it in another way...
You recommend using OROM/EFI 13.5 with its 13.6 driver counterpart or not?
Likewise for the 13.1 OROM/EFI with its 13.1 driver counterpart?

I'm using 12.9.4.1000 for my Z68 system as it is the latest for my chipset. It also says in the note that the Best matching Intel RAID ROM/EFI BIOS modules is v12.9.0.2006.

If I decide to insert an EFI BIOS module in my BIOS (it doesn't have an EFI BIOS module by default), should I insert 12.9.0.2006 and then upgrade it to the latest EFI using the UBU tool or should I keep it at 12.9.0.2006?

Thanks.
