Windows 10 x64 drivers for Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH Mobo

I'm trying to ensure i have the latest drivers for:
-Intel INF installation (chipset)
-Intel Management Engine Interface
-BT Driver
-WLAN Driver
-BIOS.

mobo has Z77 chipset.

The manufacturer's website has some downloads but i think there are newer versions on the Intel website?GA-Z77X-UP5 TH (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard - GIGABYTE U.K.

BIOS. i have already updated to F12. i believe this is the latest version.

WLAN (Qualcomm Atheros wireless) I have 10.0.3.456, again i believe this is the latest version.

BT (Qualcomm Atheros bluetooth) I have 10.0.1.7

chipset drivers:
Intel INF installation [10.1.1.8] - from the gigabyte uk website
Intel Management Engine Interface [11.0.0.1158] - from the gigabyte uk website

Realtek HD Audio Driver [R4.31]
for audio driver i was using R2.82 but the found this R4.31 which is only for Windows 10 x64 so a better option i think?

ME listed here doesn't list the Z77 chipset I'm unable to locate one on the intel download site that does.Download Intel(R) Management Engine Driver for Windows 8.1* and Windows(R) 10

Newer versions of what?

As the owner of five Gigabyte boards (X58, Z87, Z170, Z270, Z390) I generally just use the drivers from Gigabyte's site.

As for the IME and IRST drivers, even if the newer ones are listed on Intel's site, I stick with the ones on Gigabyte's site, since the newer ones may be better suited for newer chipsets; Also, given the age of your board the newer drivers may not even be compatible with your board.

As for the BIOS, you'll have to use the BIOS designed for your specific board, so whatever is listed on Gigabyte for your board is the one you'll need to use.

In short, no need to go chasing drivers not listed for your board at Gigabyte's site.

Latest drivers for your motherboard:

Intel chipset drivers 10.1.1.45 (updated)
Intel MEI driver 11.0.6.1194
Qualcomm/Atheros WLAN Drivers
Realtek HD Audio drivers
Qualcomm/Atheros Bluetooth drivers

@Grom0X, the OP's board is 8 years old, so those "latest drivers" may not be compatible with said 8-year old board; additionally they could actually lead to worse performance.

ME 11.0.6.1194 is on the intel website but for a NUC board only?
Download Intel(R) Management Engine Consumer Driver for NUC5i3RY, NUC5i5RY, NUC5i7RY, NUC5i3MY

it does install though.

Yep; they'll figure it out when they try to install.

Peace:)

when i ran SetupChipset.exe for v10.1.1.45 its saying i already have a newer version installed. its v10.1.1.8 i have. i thought that was an older version. mmmmm

I'm not surprised at all about this - It's also a way of telling you the driver isn't compatible with your Z77 chipset. It's why I said stick to the ones listed at Gigabyte's site for your board

Anyway, I'll get out the way as some spend all day trying to get you to hack them into the system.

Good luck.
