Intel 8 seriesc220 chipset drivers4/11/2024 Spending time here talking to Intel staff members is a waste of time.Īnd I personally would stay away from computers with Intel chipsets / graphics in the future, judging from the way Intel handles these 'legacy' products that are not really so legacy - I see rampant complaints from users in a lot of messages here related to Win10 ranging from graphic card incompatibility, RAID issues, WiDi problems and all these Intel representatives say is one canned message basically "we have cut of support on Windows 10 for your product". Hopefully I will finally have a stable Win10 RAID1 system.Īnd once again, I would urge anyone reading this post to go instead to sites like for info that's actually useful. What I ended up doing was this: Windows 10 installation with ICH8R chipset. So I was back to square one, suspecting it was the RAID driver that was causing all of this. The latest BSOD corrupted my system files. Have suffered from two spectacular BSODs since I started running Win10 a few months back. I learned the lesson of the little people. No more flank straps around my data's balls in this rodeo. I stand to never use software/bios raid on a windows machine again. In any case, that's where I stand at the moment. If I ever bothered to install that malignant cancerous spyware bundle. Which probably upsets a few people, I'd imagine. But Intel- everytime they struggle, suddenly- they start charging you to overclock your cpu, and simply don't update your controller drivers- essentially holding your data hostage against an OS upgrade(like Windows 10). Even crap companies from Taiwan have unified drivers for their chipsets. But, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile."Įvery other major company has a "Unified Driver" for their chipsets. "Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But for the "consumer/techie skim chattle", all we get is this- a clown show: They have their own RAID software(Mdadm) and RAID enabled filesystems(ZFS), updated regularly. Enterprise computers/servers have bypassed this problem by removing Intel from the equation entirely. So I've noticed that after 2 years, your chipset is done for in support. It goes against their "Gerbil on a treadmill of pointless upgrades aka I'ma genius!" corporate plan. So while all of this flailing is going on above in Corporate, swapping out entire computers every 6 months, their drivers are actually doing them more harm, in their new born to lose endeavor, than good. So, within a given year, you'll have customers on 2(3 for this year) sets of hardware because they can't do anything but repackage the same soap in a different container. To do that they take a giant dump on every customer every 6 months for their 5% bump in processing power from whichever Lake named CPU they release next. Intel needs to sell CPU's and motherboard chipsets. People can't install the thing no matter what option ROM they have. There are modified drivers that allow an install for a chipset even when the Intel RST doesn't like it, but the driver blob itself hasn't been modified. And my bios is updated to the latest intel raid option rom of 14. I am on an EVGA Classified x58 E760, and I can't install any driver past 14. So please Intel, respond to this inquiry professionally. Really you should try to navigate your own site to realize what a mess it is. is going to bork Windows 10 boot with ICH10 chipsets. The sane move from there is to choose Download How to find Chipset download and support information which is a trail of useless pages, none of which gives the slightest clue installing 14. It instead points me back to Downloads for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST). This is poor documenting and there is mean we can figure out upfront installing it is going to damage our Windows 10 setup when running an ICH10 chipset. has a section "This download is valid for the product(s) listed below." with the following link Downloads for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) which points to no document in particular. filter downloads by Windows 10 operating system.go to Downloads for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST). This just can't be the official stance from Intel.Ĭome on, you're Intel, not any random mobo vendor.
