I have tried updating Intel Chipset drivers through the Intel Drive Update Utility and it will go through the process of downloading and installing and restarting the PC. No sign of any error, except when I open up the Utility again it still wants me to update my Chipset Drivers and it still says I have the version I had before. I have tried running as administrator.

I have tried installing the drivers manually by downloading them from the Asus website. When installing it will say "You are using a newer version of this driver, downgrade?" even though I have an older driver installed and the driver being installed is the latest. Once I go ahead and "downgrade" nothing changes. I can run that same set up manually and it will still say I'm downgrading even though I supposedly just installed that driver.
 
It is very likely the Intel utility changed some things on the system so now the Asus driver package sees the new version as installed. Do you have a system restore point from before you tried the chipset update? Is this a clean Windows setup or are you just updating it to have the latest one? If things are working I would just leave it as it is. Nothing breaks a system better than trying to "fix" a working system LOL

I'm going to be overclocking soon, just wanted to make sure everything is up to date
 


You want to make sure you have the BIOS up-dating and good cooling, don't need to mess with the chipset drivers.

BIOS is up to date and just installed a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo. Thanks for the replies!
