Where to get updated USB3.0 drivers for A85X mobo? (FOUND)

Can't seem to find them at www.amd.com . They're apparently missing out of the newest WHQL 14.9 Cat drivers for their A-series APUs on Win7 64-bit.

That's the link that AMD's site gives you, but that's not the full APU driver package, that's the display driver.

AMD used to give you a driver package with APU in the name of the file.

Edit: Some advanced DDG-fu was required, but I found them.

Searching for usb 3.0 driver download on AMD's site was fruitless.

If you think that's bad, try looking for chipset drivers for 6 series chipsets. It takes you to a link that has drivers for 7 series and higher (and the installer really is for 7 series and higher). Contacting AMD to make them aware of this got me, Well, contact your motherboard manufacturer.

What major company gets notified their drivers are completely wrong for a listed product, and then not only deflects responsibility but then leaves them up?!?!

Haha...I've got AMD for a long time, through multiple builds, but they're done as a serious consideration. Intel from now on...

Yeah, AMD's drivers and website are decidedly somewhat amateur-hour.
