Problem Updating Chipset

I have a Asus P8H77-V LE motherboard and I used the chipset drivers that came on the CD that shipped with the motherboard. I saw in another thread about an Intel utility that updated the drivers for you. It is called "SetupChipsets.exe". After installing it, nothing happened. I read in the readme.txt that the system should ask you to reboot. Since it did not ask, I did a manual reboot and again nothing seemed to be happening. In the instructions I tells you to go to <INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\Win7 but I cannot find that anywhere on my PC.

So I gave up and when to Asus's website and tried to manually download and install it. I downloaded this file: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/utils/Intel_Chipset_V9301019_XPWin7.zip

When I ran the setup it said that the current version is 10.0.13 and it is newer than the one I was trying to overwrite it with (9.0.0.1019). How is this possible that the one from the website is older than the one on the CD? Or did the Intel utility update it without me knowing it?

Another strange thing is windows device manager reports the chipset driver as version 9.3.0.1011.

Is the chipset up todate and should I leave it well enough alone? Or is something else going on here?

ktriebol,

Thank you for the helpful tip. I tried the link that you sent and it reported that the following:

Code:
Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility (Chipset INF)  
Product Detected    
Current Version Installed  10.0.13  
This version is valid.

Since it did not prompt me to update I guess I can assume that I have the latest version???

I still don't understand why Windows device manager was reporting something different.

Thanks again for helping.
