  • GA-X58-UD5 and Windows 10

    I want to upgrade my current Windows 7 to Windows 10 running on GA-X58-UD5 but on the drivers download page there are no drivers for windows 10 or even 8.
    Intel download center isn't particularity helpful either since I can't find any drivers for Windows 10 at all over there.

    Any idea where can I get drivers for the chipset and SATA chips for GA-X58-UD5 which will work with Windows 10? Or maybe I can just use a standard provided drivers without loosing performance?

    Have you reserved a free upgrade to Windows 10?

      No, not yet. After "upgrade" from 7 to 8 and all of the issues it brought me with BSODs originating from the SATA controller drivers I'm a bit skeptical about upgrading without proper drivers.

        No problems at all. Forget Gigabyte for driver downloads. They stopped updating support page long time ago.
        Make sure your disks are connected to Intel SATA controller, use Intel RST 11.7, they work fine.

            Which are the "best" Intel AHCI/RAID drivers?

            Intel RST/RSTe Drivers (newest: v14.6.0.1029 WHQL/v4.3.0.1198 WHQL)

            14.6.0 latest is fine here..

              From link you gave:
              Intel P45 and X58 Chipset/ICH10R Intel RST(e) v11.7.4.1001 WHQL Intel RST v11.2.0.1006 WHQL (best performance) or
              Intel RST(e) v11.7.4.1001 WHQL (newer)
              14.6 or any higher than 11.7 gives you "Platform not supported" error.

                i manually shoved them in, on a ex58-ud4p a few days ago. or if u dont want to do that then 12.9.4.1000 is the last supporting 5 series chipset "officially"

                  12.9 can only be installed in RAID mode officially. How did you install 14.6 and what is speed comparison between 14.6 and 11.7?

                    dont know, its not my system & dont have access to it anymore it never had 11.7 as the os was fresh installed, but the ssd was getting as fast as it's older sata II ports were allowing

                      Re: GA-X58-UD5 and Windows 10

                      Is it worthwhile to run a raid 0 setup with older sata2 motherboards such as my EP45-UD3P or an X58? Absatively, posilutely!!!

                      The following ssd benchmarks are from my posts in another thread:


                      Update using a raid0 array for the O/S drive:

                      I did a clean win7 install using two Crucial BX100 250GB ssd's in a raid0, high performance setup.
                      The BX100 ssd's are budget units that perform quite well, especially when the price of the high end Samsung and SanDisk ssd's cost about 50% - 60% more. If you want to run a raid0 setup, you might want to check out the newer Crucial MX200 ssd's as their price should only be about 10% - 15% more. Don't buy two 128GB ssd's for a raid setup, as the smaller ssd's will probably have a significant performance penalty.

                      Unfortunately the Crucial Storage Executive software does not currently work with a raid0 array, so it's a good thing that I had previously upgraded the BX100 firmware to the most recent version when I first got them.

                      My current modded bios uses the 8.9.1 raid Orom, so right now, the TRIM command does NOT get passed to the raid0 array.
                      With older systems, Fernando recommends the 11.2 raid Orom for maximum performance and allowing the TRIM command to be passed to the raid array.

                      Once I have my backup system reassembled and running, I'll flash the EP45-UD3P bios to my newly modded F11e bios to see if TRIM works and if there's a performance increase with the 11.2 raid Orom.

                      With my current 8.9.1 raid Orom,I ran two 4.012GHz AnvilPro tests, once with all C-states disabled and once with all C-states enabled.

                      If you look closely you will see that I set aside 22% of the array as unallocated free space for ssd over provisioning. This will help with longer ssd life and should also provide additional performance. With no O/P space, the size of the array is about 466GiB which is the same as 500GB. With 22% of the ssd capacity reserved for over provisioning, the current size of the boot partition is now 360GiB.

                      These are the results:






                      I was kind of hoping that the performance difference would be much smaller so that I could justify running with these options enabled.

                      Additional note: My raid 0 o/s setup has not had any problems and has been running perfectly since June 12, 2015.
