Since you are running this board and SSD with Windows 10, what Intel "Rapid Storage Technology" driver version are you using with the P6T Deluxe V2 and Plextor SSD?

I read some outstanding info on this site but still have some questions. Let me correct that, there is some absolutely incredibly awesome info on this site on the intel drivers! I read everything I could find... I have been looking and researching ICH10R and X58 RST drivers Win 10 support but want to make sure I install the right version on Win10 64 bit.

I don't run my drives in RAID but do run AHCI. Looks like 12.9.4.1000 is the latest RST we can run but 11.7.4.1001 is listed as the recommended AHCI driver by the forum. If I am reading correctly they both are the "newer" type with the SCSI filter driver and therefore would have to have .NET updated before installing even after a clean Win10 install.

Are both good to use with Windows 10?

Also, did you have to do an "F-6" for a fresh OS install with either driver? If I recall with windows 7 and up you don't need to...

Just found the post on the .INF updater which usually part of my new OS install process. Very interesting and I guess not necessary!

Thanks,

BJB

PS...sorry this almost looks like it should be a separate post, but since the question is specific to the board hopefully it is okay on this thread.

Contrary to the Intel RST(e) drivers v12.9.4.1000 the v11.7.4.1001 ones natively do support Intel ICH10R SATA RAID Controllers.
So if you want to take the newer Intel AHCI driver v12.9.4.1000, I recommend to take the mod & signed variant.

Sorry, I misread the info on the 12 series driver and just noted the 5-series support (and not listing ICH10R). I have since learned that X58 is apparently really a "4-series" board. I'll definitely go with 11.7.4.1001.

Am I correct that since I am only installing the driver (per your recommendation for non-RAID users/AHCI users) I don't need to worry about .NET?

I also noted there is no installer and want to make sure I install the correct way. I tried to find this info on the outstanding web pages on the differences between the two but didn't locate it. Since the drivers update so many chains I assume you can't just right-click in device manager?

No .NET Framework is required, if you just install the driver from within the Device Manager.
This is the way I do it as well.

Thanks! Last question...since this updates several chains or line items in device manager, how do you determine which ones? Just the ICH10R ones and the hard drives?

Last 4 years I was running a RAID setup with sata2 SSD and win7. I modded my bios with the OROM 10.x.x.x, well last one under 100kb and RST 11.2.0.1006 signed by Fernando for the Trim support. Now under win10 pro, im setup AHCI and still running the same RST 11.2.0.1006 for now.

Motherboard: ASUS P6T Deluxe v2, CPU: Intel Core i7-990x, Disks: 128GB Plextor PX-128AGM6e PCIe SSD + 500GB Samsung 840EVO SSD + 1TB WD Black HDD running in AHCI mode, Graphics: Crossfire Sapphire R9 270x Toxic, RAM: 3x4GB Mushkin 992015F @ 2133MHz 10-11-10-28-1T, OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

You only have to right click onto the Intel related "Standard AHCI Controller", which is listed within the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" section of the Device Manager, and to choose "Update driver software". This is the only device the Intel AHCI driver is managing.

Thanks bomberman and Fernando! Look forward to doing this in the next week or two!
