CRITICAL DRIVERS Updates For Asrock Extreme6 Z97 for Win 7 64 Home Premium

[sebastian869]

Hi guys was wondering what you think is the best way to get the most current update of the asrock DVD effectively, that is the drivers and a few programs that came on the disk. Intel for some reason seems to be worthless, that is their scanning software. They hare a prog you DL and supposed to tell you what drivers to DL. At least for me its worthless.
I noticed a weird thing. Newer versions like the "USB 3.1" for ex. It seems to have the same driver models and dated to mostly the 2015 erra. Was wondering if they are usable one like the INF, the onboard sound, ME the basic and important ones.

Im only interested in a few to make the chase easier for ex.
Realtek high definition audio driver ver:7004 (I know a new verion had been releaser .7240)
The INF Chipset driver INF driver ver:10.0.21
Intel Management Engine driver ver:10.0.31.1000 though the Windows 7 64bit ver:10.0.30.1054 and the 6 AC version has Windows 7 64bit ver:10.0.0.1204
Realtek LAN driver has Windows 7 ver:7.86.508.2014 and ver:7086 I dont understand
LAN Driver Windows 7 64bit ver:19.0.27.0
ASMedia SATA3 Windows 7 64bit ver:2.0.8.0 (ASMedia ASM1061)
ASMedia USB 3.0 Windows 7 64bit ver:1.16.15.0 (Seems ASMedia ASM1042AE is the driver)
And INTEL USB 3 Windows 7 64bit ver:3.0.1.41
With the Rates of flaws and hacks found and increases in performance I've been really trying hard to get upgraded drivers.
I cant seem to manage to find updates from Asmedias site like one at least sort of can on intels.

P.S. Why are there an intel Lan and Realtek and asmedia? I Always though realtek did audio.
Smart connect does not seem real vital and Rapid start is convenient but again not vital.
ALSO IVE COME across a INF FILE v10.0.26 but dont know if its for our MOBOS and as far as i know there is a USB Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver_3.0.5.69.zip and
LAN_Win7_64_PROWin_19.1.exe though not CERTAIN IF its for out LAN.
REALLY need help with all ASMEDIA and INF files, Intel Management Engine driver, Realtek Lan driver, Lan driver ver:19.0.27.0
AND DO YOU STILL HAVE TO INSTALL THE *For Windows 7 (32 / 64 bit) OS, please install Windows Update KB2685811 before installing Intel ME driver. BEFORE Intel Management Engine driver though it only says that now on the Z97 Extreme6/ac
This is one of the best ive come accross that may help you out" https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/70898/Intel-Desktop-Board-DZ87KLT-75K"
REALLY BE GREATFUL FOR ANY NEW IDEAS asrock seem to be a dead end. Good Hardware bad Tech support. BTW NOT CERTAIN THE INF FILE I FOUND on intel is legit and installable Chipset_10.0.26_Public

Thanks,
Sebastian

If you'll notice, your board has two GbE ports - one is driven by an Intel controller, the other by a Realtek controller.

As you've already noted, the board has a few ASMedia controllers, which control some of the USB 3.0 and SATA3 ports.

Smart connect does not seem real vital and Rapid start is convenient but again not vital.

Never used either of them.

ALSO IVE COME across a INF FILE v10.0.26 but dont know if its for our MOBOS and as far as i know there is a USB Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver_3.0.5.69.zip and
LAN_Win7_64_PROWin_19.1.exe though not CERTAIN IF its for out LAN.

That LAN driver is for the Intel GbE controller. You'll need the USB 3.0 driver if you wanna use the USB 3.0 ports not controlled by the aforementioned ASMedia controller.

I used this board for a client build about 3 months ago, used the drivers found on Asrock's site and never had any problem. He hasn't complained to me since so I assume everything's still working fine.

which board do u mean the asmedia.com? because some ppl told me go there but when i do i find list of dirvers/hardware and cant find a download part of the page i wrote them and they said contact asrock. Id bet 10k asrock is like the rest who don keep their drivers up to date on their site. In Fact some are old as dirt

The Asrock board (the Z97 Extreme6). ASMedia makes some of the controllers that the Asrock board uses.

I think you're worrying too much. USB 3.0 drivers aren't something that need continuous updates in response to a constantly changing environment, e.g. GPU drivers.
