This is Ivy Bridge update
Does absolutely nothing for P67 Z68 X79
When you got your P67 B3 update mobo replacement and used the chipset drivers on CD to install - you have to update no further..
Same for Z68 X79. The chipset you have and its revision is cast in stone, once it is configured by chipset drivers in Win 7 - thats it, you are done. There is no such thing as updating chipset drivers (B2-B3 was different situation).

All you have to do is look in dev man in system devices and list all the drivers. Install this thing and you will see nothing changes. When you change to a new mobo/chipset then you can use it, since it also contains prior versions, or better yet the one on the CD

Just for giggles I ran it, didnt even require a reboot
Changed 2 devices from 9.2.0.1024 to 1026. Irrelevent and meaningless.

Are you kidding? That isn't meaningless at all, that is a 4 point improvement in the sub-minor version number. And for free, imagine that.

Has Intel chipset driver updates EVER fixed anything? I mean they are like flawless right from the start.

Since my new updated bios now supports IB, will this be necessary too for the chipset?


Also I hope it won't make my mobo gain weight....

Some thing is wrong here.

They did (and do) appear, just before the X79 mobo were released Aug 27 2011, like I said. Means absolutely nothing to you if you do not have this chipset. The "newer" Intel chipset identification software paks do have earlier versions included - backwards compatible, but only to a certain point. As each newer chipset is added one is usually removed. Since there are considerable probs with the X79 mobo (for example the GB X79 smoking VRM's), I would expect an "updated" 9.3.2.xxxx for revised mobo if necessary. Once again has nothing to do with P67 Z68 whatsoever.

Similarly speaking, an ASUS Z68 gen 3 V-pro i bought from Amazon just before XMas had the 10.6.0.1019 RST Oprom in the ship bios. Any RST DRIVER SOFTWARES (for example 10.8.0.xxxx) later than the 10.6.0.xxxx is a useless waste of time, even if it shows in Dev Man. How do I know which oprom is in the current bios? By setting Intel SATA to RAID in bios (temporarily), install a couple drives on SATA 2 Intel ports and set force bios on boot page, and boot to bios after total shutdown and you will see the oprom in upper right (can hit pause to hold it). Do not allow boot to Windows or you will BSOD with RAID setting and AHCI config in Win 7.

Note the latest for P67 Z68 (300 chipsets) is 9.2.0.1030
But the software will only install what is appropriate for your particular mobo, nothing more.
