Thank you for using MEAnalyzer. The MEI/TXEI and RST drivers must be installed from their respective threds in this forum. Install MEI 10.0.30.1054, it will work properly with everything including MEAnalyzer.

Which statement do you want to express with this post?
Do you mean, that a lot of additional, but unneeded INF files doesn't matter?

Ok, thanks for the clarification. When I had read your post, I didn't see the relationship between the MEAnalizer and the topic of this thread.

I was asking if that was more than normal, the amount of files in that folder. Was stating clean install of Windows, so that I only installed Chipset once. I was on Guru3D.com today, saw Intel Chipset 10.1.2.8, and they actually instruct people to use -overall when installing, why is that?

Yes, the big amount of INF files within the C:\Windows\Inf folder is normal.
You can easily distinguish the in-box INF files from the later installed ones by the name: The INF files of all installed INF files are named oem0.inf, oem1.inf, oem.3.inf and so on.

You should ask Guru3D, not me. Forcing the installation of not needed or maybe not even suitable Intel Chipset Device INF files is nonsense. If you want same additional informations, please read the start post of this thread.

Actually posted there and asked for them to elaborate on it, no response yet. I downloaded Intel Chipset Software v10.1.1.7 from ASUS.com from my motherboards page (ASUS Z97-AR), and ran AsusSetup.exe as Admin like suggested, I noticed it updated things in Device Manager as well. I think the AsusSetup.exe is ran to do -overall for some reason.. Do you suggest against using the AsusSetup.exe, and just running SetupChipset.exe?

If you want to avoid unneeded bloatware, I suggest to use the package, where the INF files are aready extracted, and let the Device Manager search for the suitable one.

Hello,

i'm not really sure if my issue is related to the chipset drivers (not the inf files for sure), but lets see:

I have Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H mainboard with 16 GB DDR3 1600 and a Xeon 1231v1. I checked the performance of the system on a regular basis on Win 7 Pro. FSB clock, memory clock and cpu clock in low power mode all were 800 Mhz, as it should be.

Now, after an upgrade to Win 10 Pro (actually i did a clean install after the upgrade), aida64 only shows around 790 Mhz in the live sensor panel and only 779 in the tool itself.

Does anyone have an idea what the heck is going on here? Is it related to the new chipset drivers? I have changed nothing on the system since the upgrade. voltage, ram timings... all the same.

This crap is bugging me since 3 days now. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

PS: Is it possible to upload images on this board? i could add a screenshot of aida.

There are only INF files available for the Intel Chipset devices, no real drivers (= SYS files).

I have no idea. As I already have mentioned, there are no (new) chipset drivers.

Yes, you even can directly attach a screenshot by using the Forum feature. Look >here<.
Tip: The easiest way to take a good visible screenshot from a certain program GUI is to hit ALT+PRINT, run MS Paint, hit one after the other onto "Paste", "Crop" and "File" > "Save as PNG".

I upgraded to Windows 10 and after that i get a yellow mark in the device manager. Looking at Hardware ID: ACPI\VEN_INT&DEV_33A0

Did a search on google and apparently is something related to Intel Smart Connect Technology. How can i make this disappear? If i try to load the .INF file it doesn't work.

From what i've seen, this technology is only needed for HDD's, maybe the best option here is to disable it on BIOS since i have an SSD.

Some opinions?

This is the Intel Smart Connect Technology device. The latest usable driver is v1.0.8.0 (the later released are faulty).
If you have installed the 64bit version of Win10, you can use the attached driver. The other option is to disable the device within the BIOS.

Fernando has attached files to this post

Is it possible and/or safe to delete the non in use inf files and drivers somehow, I regularly use pnputil -e to make sure only the inuse drivers are there, but what about the bloatware inf files that may or may not be on a system. Thanks
