Install help: W10 + Gigabyte EX58-UD5

[rixx]

Hi all - has anyone with this mobo moved to W10?

I'm confused about the core drivers which need to be installed, namely intel chipset driver software. The automatic utility does not reveal anything that I need to download; I can't help but think that this is incorrect.

Any thoughts?

Few notes:
- I have a Xeon 5670 overclocked to 4.2Ghz
- Mobo is Gigabyte EX58-UD5 rev 1
- Windows 10 x64

I've installed:
- Intel RSTe v11.7.4.1001 WHQL drivers - this has successfully updated the relevant SATA drivers
- Intel Chipset Device Software (INF Update utility) 10.0.27 - it does not appear that this did anything.. :/

My mobo runs:
- Intel North Bridge: Intel® X58 Express Chipset
- South Bridge: Intel® ICH10R

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Same board here, and while I ran the chipset installation program I can't remember if it updated the drivers or just checked to make sure hte drivers I had were fine. I've got a few Intel devices (mainly I/O) listed under "system devices" but they're dated back to 2013, so I'm not sure if they aren't just standard Microsoft drivers.

It seems as though the drivers have worked for you as my drivers are signed by microsoft and dated 2006..

In any event, a number of people have said that the drivers do not matter too much.. it seems as though the effectiveness of my overclock has reduced over time - the pain and joy that comes with overclocking!
