Maybe I am lucky or, the Z68 chipset isn't affected?

Affected by what?
Do you mean the shutdown issue some users reported about?

Today (10/02/2013) Pacman has published at station-drivers.com (look >here<) a new Intel RSTe drivers and software package v3.8.0.1111 WHQL for Intel X79 Chipset users.

Meanwhile I have downloaded, renamed and reuploaded the different parts (32/64bit drivers and the complete package) and offer them within this thread.

Update of the Start Post:

Anyone know if the v3.8.0.1111 WHQL for Intel X79 Chipset drivers support trim for SSD's in Raid0?

---

According to Intel the RSTe drivers since v3.7.0.1093 do support TRIM in RAID0, RAID1 and RAID10 (look >here<).
Our member blogthis has already confirmed, that TRIM is active within his X79 RAID0 system running the Intel RSTe drivers v3.8.0.1108 (look >here<).

@ ex58:

Updated to these and still getting very poor 4KB writes (about a quarter of what they were with v12.8.0.1016 WHQL).
Same stripe size and OS installation.

And what about the Energy Options and Write-Back Caching settings?

For users with an X79 Chipset Mainboard there are new Intel RSTe Drivers available.
