These Dell OEM cards made by adaptec seem to be available everywhere. They are ASR-78165 cards but the driver from adaptec does not work with them. Trying to find a Dell driver on their website was futile so far. Has anyone yet located this precious driver?

These should not work with the Dell OEM version of the card, says Adaptec support. Dell cannot find any driver for this card in their system though. I am guessing the adaptec driver should work. If any one could confirm or deny this, it would help!
Alright, I've got the solution. After fighting all afternoon yesterday with Dell support we've finally determined that there is no special Dell driver as the card is identical to the one sold by adaptec.
Despite what CS @ adaptec was saying the drivers on their website do support the Dell "version" as well as it is indeed the same card. After swapping the card through various slots on my motherboard I found that it would not work in any other PCIe slot than the one right below the graphics card which is called PCIe16_2. The Ctrl-A Menu works from any slot but Windows 10 would not recognize the card unless it was in said slot. I had already injected the adaptec 78165 driver through the INF file definition and so the card was correctly identified on the next boot.
The main chip gets insanely hot and the warning on the card saying it needed 300 LFM airflow is honestly no joke, so you really want to make sure the chip is not desoldering itself.
