Hi,

Apart from the Intel ME Firmware which need to be updated after installing the Intel MEI Drivers, the order to follow is the one listed in this thread, from top to bottom.

You need these firmware/drivers for your ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme motherboard :

[FIRMWARE] Intel ME (H610/B660/H670/Z690/B760/H770/Z790)

[DRIVERS] Intel Chipset/MEI/VMD (6xx/7xx)

- Intel Chipset Drivers

- Intel MEI Drivers (Drivers Only)

- Intel VMD Drivers (Drivers Only) :​
Drivers - 6xx/7xx​

[DRIVERS] Intel Serial IO (4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx)

- Intel Serial IO Drivers (Drivers Only) :​
Drivers - 6xx/7xx​

[DRIVERS] Intel GNA (5xx/6xx/7xx)

[DRIVERS] Intel Thunderbolt

[DRIVERS] Intel Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

- Intel Ethernet Drivers (Drivers Only) :​
Drivers - I225/I226​

- Intel WiFi Drivers (Drivers Only) :​
Drivers - 9xxx/AXxxx​

- Intel Bluetooth Drivers (Drivers Only) :​
Drivers - 9xxx/AXxxx​

[DRIVERS] Marvell/Aquantia Ethernet

[DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (AMD 5xx/6xx/TRX40 & Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx)

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of the thread.

Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.​

Hey,

thank you for your answer. But one Question for me.

The Intel ME firmware after installing the Intel MEI drivers? I always thought it was swapped =)

The Intel MEI (Management Engine Interface) Drivers serve as an interface as their name suggests and enable communication to the Intel ME (Management Engine).

If you try to update your Intel ME Firmware when you have not installed your Intel MEI Drivers, an error message will appear telling you that it cannot communicate with the Intel Management Engine.

OK, Thanks for the Explanation.
Last Question. The Intel RST drivers are not needed?

Hello. Good job, Asus should check this out and take note!

Question: I have an Asus Strix Scar 17 (Intel HM670 Chipset) notebook and many problems with the audio drivers. Should any of this work for updating drivers?
thanks in advance

Hi,

I don't offer audio drivers packages for notebooks/laptops in order to focus on my field : DIY PC/Motherboards (hence the fact that my threads are in DIY Builds and Motherboards category).

Please refer to your product support page to download the appropriate drivers for your product (if you have any issue with them, please contact ASUS Support).

Yes, I thought that and did it but with no luck. On the Asus website, the drivers are out of date. I'll keep looking.
Thanks anyway

I have an Asus TUF X299 Mark 1 motherboard. A while ago, I remembered that I haven't updated my drivers and UEFI/BIOS in quite some time. When I was looking for the latest drivers I somehow came across your threads. You seem to be making a remarkable effort providing easy access to updated drivers when Asus is falling behind.

This index thread is very helpful. I have started going through your threads to find out which drivers I should install. Just to make sure that I get it right, however, I wonder if you could give me advice similar to what you did for another motherboard in the post [INDEX] All My Drivers/Firmware/Software Threads above. In particular, I'm currently a little confused about which audio drivers I should use.

Thank you very much for so generously helping people with your great work.

Hi!

This thread is amazing but I’m slightly overwhelmed with it.

I’m wanting to install all of the necessary drivers with the required apps for the best experience without all of the bloat that come with ASUS drivers.

I am using the ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I Mini ITX motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU.

Can you please advise the drivers necessary for this board, and also advise what RAID is and whether or not I need those drivers?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for this reply.

I am using the M.2 NVME slot on the motherboard, so do I need just the NVME raid drivers? Or do I not need the raid drivers at all?

You don't need RAID Drivers at all if you don't make RAID.
