Intel Chipset 10.1.1.45

[Agenor Ramadan]

Thisarticle provides a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel, divided into three main categories: those that use the PCI bus for interconnection (the 4xx series), those that connect using specialized "hub links" (the 8xx series), and those that connect using PCI Express (the 9xx series). The chipsets are listed in chronological order.

While not an actual Intel chipset bug, the Mercury and Neptune chipsets could be found paired with RZ1000 and CMD640 IDE controllers with data corruption bugs. L2 caches are direct-mapped with SRAM tag RAM, write-back for 430FX, HX, VX, and TX.

[1] Some later revisions of motherboards based on 945P,945G and 945PL chipset usually supports some Core 2 processors (with later BIOSes). Core 2 Quad is not supported. Only Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual-Core, and Core2 based Celerons.

All Core 2 chipsets support the Pentium Dual-Core and Celeron processors based on the Core architecture. Support for all NetBurst based processors was officially dropped starting with the Bearlake chipset family.[63] However, some motherboards still support the older processors.[64]

[*] Remapping of PCIE/APIC memory ranges not supported,[60] some physical memory might not be accessible (e.g. limited to 3.5 GB or similar). Operational configuration is 4 ranks - 2 2 GB dual rank modules or 4 1 GB single rank modules - depends on number of motherboard DDR2 slots.

[1] The 975X chipset supports only 16 PCI Express (electrically) in the top slot when the slot below it is unpopulated. Otherwise it and the lower slot (both attached to the Memory Controller Hub) operate at 8 electrically.

[4] VT-d is inherently supported on these chipsets, but may not be enabled by individual OEMs. Always read the motherboard manual and check for BIOS updates. X38/X48 VT-d support is limited to certain Intel, Supermicro, DFI (LanParty) and Tyan boards. VT-d is broken or non existent on some boards until the BIOS is updated. Note that VT-d is a chipset Memory Controller Hub technology, not a processor feature, but this is complicated by later processor generations (Core i3/i5/i7) moving the MCH from the motherboard to the processor package, making only certain I series CPUs support VT-d.

The Nehalem microarchitecture moves the memory controller into the processor. For high-end Nehalem processors, the X58 IOH acts as a bridge from the QPI to PCI Express peripherals and DMI to the ICH10 southbridge. For mainstream and lower-end Nehalem processors, the integrated memory controller (IMC) is an entire northbridge (some even having GPUs), and the PCH (Platform Controller Hub) acts as a southbridge.

Not listed below is the 3450 chipset (see Xeon chipsets) which is compatible with Nehalem mainstream and high-end processors but does not claim core iX-compatibility. With either a Core i5 or i3 processor, the 3400-series chipsets enable the ECC functionality of unbuffered ECC memory.[75] Otherwise these chipsets do not enable unbuffered ECC functionality.

The Cougar Point Intel 6 series chipsets with stepping B2 were recalled due to a hardware bug that causes their 3 Gbit/s Serial ATA to degrade over time until they become unusable. Stepping B3 of the Intel 6 series chipsets will have the fix for this. The Z68 chipset which supports CPU overclocking and use of the integrated graphics does not have this hardware bug, however all other ones with B2 did.[77] The Z68 also added support for transparently caching hard disk data on to solid-state drives (up to 64 GB), a technology called Smart Response Technology.[78]

Chipsets that support LGA 1150 CPUs are listed below. Haswell and Haswell Refresh CPUs are supported by all listed chipsets; however, a BIOS update is usually required for 8-Series Lynx Point motherboards to support Haswell Refresh CPUs.[80] Broadwell CPUs are supported only by 9-Series chipsets, which are usually referred to as Wildcat Point.[81]

The 300 Series chipsets were introduced along with Coffee Lake processors, which use the LGA 1151 socket; the enthusiast model was released in the last quarter of 2017,[92] the rest of the line was released in 2018.[93]

C232 and C242 chipsets do not support CPU integrated GPUs, as they lack FDI support. Officially they support only Xeon processors, but some motherboards also support consumer processors (6/7th generation Core for C230 series, 8/9th generation Core for C240 series and its Pentium/Celeron derivatives).

LGA 1200 is a CPU socket designed for Comet Lake and Rocket Lake desktop CPUs. Like its predecessors, LGA 1200 has the same amount of pins its name would suggest: 1200. Under the hood, LGA 1200 is a modified version of LGA 1151, its predecessor. It features 49 additional protruding pins that are used to improve power delivery and provide support for eventual updates with I/O features.

After some searching I found out this is an Intel Driver. I tried to run the Intel Chipset installer executable in order to install this driver but whenever I try to run any Intel programs I get the error message: "0x00004E24 This platform is not supported"

If your motherboard vendor does not supply a version of this package, you are going to have a problem using the latest versions available because these versions do not support your chipset; you need an older package. I suggest you try version 10.1.1.8. There is a version available here: It is for 3rd - 5th gen NUC systems but should be fine for your board.

I would like to let you know that your processor is Discontinued, this means that there are no new driver updates for the unit. This could cause unexpected errors when you try to install a new driver, operating system, or BIOS that is not supported by the processor.

I just came here to say Z790 based motherboards will experience an inaccessible boot device BSOD (for me, an Asus PRIME Z790-A WIFI) immediately after installing the 10.1.19284.8351 chipset drivers upon reboot. Windows 11 recovered fine with a previous restore snapshot so no big deal - my only comment is WOW never did I ever think these INF files that aren't really "true" drivers can BSOD a system. Bravo Intel!

I realize this chipset software inf is labeled for NUCs, however they indubitably have updated INFs for Raptor Lake, and whomever from intel that responds with the defacto "this chipset software is not for desktop systems, blah blah" - could you please also pass along to engineering there is indeed a bug in this chipset release so it does not get carried over into whatever future chipset software build designated for actual desktop systems? Thanks and ta ta!

Use of 3rd party driver update sites is not recommended. You never know what information from your machine they are uploading (and to what country it is going), and you never know what payload is in the packages they are downloading.

I never stated I downloaded from that website - I only linked to a discussion of the software package in question. I downloaded directly from intel here; -chipset-device-software-for-windows-10-64-bit-and-windows-11-for-intel-nuc-products.html

I can tell you, demonstrably, that this chipset package has a good chance of BSOD'ing a Z790 based system. The link I provided was just forum conversation with several other Z790 owners of various brands all saying the same thing when using this specific chipset INF software. Apparently that website is a no-no here for whatever reason.

Yes, yes, we all know this defacto language that yourself and intel will always state in situations like this - however, YOU KNOW as well as I and the thousands of others who use WHQL intel chipset software from other OEM channels instead of intel's website that *they always work perfectly* and many, MANY a times where a newer release of an intel driver found elsewhere fixes issues that are not addressed yet by their board manufacturer.

I'm not here to ask for help, I don't need it. I'm just pointing out this is probably the first time ever that a chipset software release can BSOD a system. It's quite amazing to be honest. Didn't think it could happen. Also, there have been many chipset software releases that intelligently detect if the hardware it is being installed on is not compatible and will halt the install. For whatever reason raptor lake INFs were included and no incompatibility was flagged.

I just came on here to disclose that this happens with this specific release - in hopes that an intel engineer takes note, despite preemptively knowing that I will be getting lots of fingers shaking at my direction from Intel.

You see that raptorlakepch-ssystem.inf? Take note that 10.1.49.7 blows up a Z790 system whereas 10.1.46.3 is fine. If there's a NUC out there with a Z790 it will get BSOD'd all the same. Zipped for those interested!

Pursuant to the answer provided by @Chris-C in this thread, USB 3.0 ports function as USB 2.0 ports on Windows 7 -- trying to fix via DeviceMgr & downloads from Intel website , I've discovered something terribly distressing.

But... why did Hewlett Packard include USB3.0 ports (I know they're USB3.0 because they have a blue color to their interior) IN THE FIRST PLACE?? Seriously, if you can give me an answer (in a comment), please do!
