    If anyone can somehow find it on their machine could you please upload it somewhere, becouse its the best performing one for me and i accidentally deleted it when i was trying out other drivers and i cant find it available for download anywhere...

    Hmm. Tried removing it and searching for new driver via windows update? (I know the search online for driver is disabled by default in W7) <- In the looking for new driver dialog when it first detects new hardware..

    I tried :). It just tells me some default AHCI driver from 2006 is up to date... That online search is really useless, never finds anything...

    And you tried the latest Intel INF update utility from the Intel site direct... Hmmm. Those drivers can be a goofy bunch.

    I think i have the latest chipset drivers, since the ones from Asus tell me ive got newer ones installed (i really cant remember when i updated them last), but ill try finding newer ones if i can...
    If you have a link handy it would be welcome.

    The latest INF update on the intel site.
    INF for 5 Series

    Also the slightly older 0019 inf in zip format could possibly be used to force install the driver you want. :/

    Seams i already had the latest inf installed...
    Ah forget it, ill just use the latest driver from Intel Rapid Storage. The difference isnt that earthshattering anyway i guess... Should be playing SC2 instead of wasting my time with this :D.
    Thanks for the effort though. :)

    You've got to force install any new chipset drivers, too. It's an intel thing, apparently if you have working chipset drivers, they don't want you to change a thing.
