I have the following problem.
I have, because the old mainboard was defect,bought a new Asus Rampage 3 Extreme and a Samsung Evo 256GB. Now i want to install Win 7 Ultimate 64bit completely new. The Operating System should be on the SSD and my old HDD should be for music and so on.
Unfortunately I do not have much knowledge of the matter with all the drivers and bios settings,so I want kindly ask for help .The best mode is AHCI I think and the SSD should connect with the Marvell controller. On the Asus siteare only the outdated drivers.
I want to use vLite to put the driver i need driver in the Windows boot version, but I'm not sure which drivers i need, and on how I should proceed.


Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for my bad english:-)

Thx for the fast Answer.

1. I read about that the Marvell Sata driver must be installed during Windows installation (here (only german language link)
2. I have seen in a test that the marvell 6gb slower wriet than the Intel3 gb, but faster read.

In theory, your 1601 modded bios version would contain all new drivers, right?And can u tell me plz how to intall the ntel RST(e) driver of the v12 or v13 series, there are only .sys files and so on...

As I said, I have not much experience of it

I saw the test here:click post 70.

I mean this Bios click

Thx for the good Instruction.

And by the way, which are the most important drivers and where i can get them? At the asus site are many non sense drivers and all from 2009.

Ah, ok, then i take the Intel Sata2.

Sry, i confused the names in which bios.

Thx. But i meant the other basic drivers like Jmicron and so on.
Is there any site with up to date versions of the drivers?

Hi,

you may have a look at: http://www.station-drivers.com/

They provide everything you imagine ;-)

Ah, ok. thx guys.
And with the new Bios Version 1601 modded, should i install it first before Win7 get a new install or it doesnt matter?

By the way, do i need Jmicron? Intel RST v 13.x doesnt suffice?

I dont can find any Intel Gigabit Ethernet Driver there.

And is the IRST the only chipset driver or did i need some more?
On the Asus Site is an intel Chipset Driver, old Version and i cant find this on station-drivers.

Which drivers i need really? There is too much Stuff. click

Sry for the many questions but i dont want to make any mistakes:-)

Hi,

I would do the BIOS update first, then do all your in-BIOS settings and finally install Windows. As long as you don't disable the jmicron controller in the BIOS you should install the drivers for it under Windows.

Good luck!

I recommend: jmicron sata drivers, marvell sata driver, intel chipset device software (look on google for "intel inf autoupdate"), NEC USB 3.0 driver, Realtek audio driver and RST package (you can install driver only when you don't use RAID but using the complete package is more easy because the installer does everything for you)

Edit: Chipset software is here

USB 3.0 here

JMICRON here

Marvell here

and Realtek here

Many many thanks. I hope I can return the favor sometime.-)

No problem. And for your Intel ethernet you may try this one. But I'm not sure because I don't know the device ID.
