The Dell driver page for my PC lists the most recent chipset version as 10.1.1.7. The only thing I can locate that might be the Chipset is something listed as: "Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 Series SMBus Controller - 8C22". However, I cannot locate an entry in Device Manager with the word "Chipset" to identify if it is up-to-date. If I am right, the correct Intel SATA AHCI Controller name for your H81 Chipset Desktop mainboard would have been the first listed "Intel® 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)", which now has been renamed by me to "Intel® 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family Desktop SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)".I've got a Dell XPS8700 from 2013 and have had issues with a new GPU and the final attempt to resolve the issue is to identify if the chipset is up-to-date.
Here is the old list with the HardwareIDs and the names of the Intel SATA AHCI Controllers for Intel Chipsets from 7-Series up (the names were given by Intel): PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E02&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C02&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C03&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C02&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C03&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)"Īnd this is how the related part is looking now: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E02&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family Desktop SATA AHCI Controller"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family Mobile SATA AHCI Controller"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C02&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family Desktop SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C03&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 8 Series Chipset Family Mobile SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C02&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 9 Series/C220 Chipset Family Desktop SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C03&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 9 Series Chipset Family Mobile SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)"ĪFAIK your in use Intel AHCI Controller has the DeviceID DEV_8C02 (can be verified from within the Device Manager by doing a right click onto the Controller > "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs"). To avoid any future problems for users with an Intel 8-Series Chipset I just have changed the Controller names within the TXTSETUP.OEM and iaAHCI.inf INF files of my modded "Universal Intel RST driver v11." packages. You are absolutely right: The Controller names, which were given by Intel, are absolutely irritating and even misleading, especially regarding the listed Intel AHCI Controllers for the upcoming 9-Series Chipsets, which have been named by Intel like the 8-Series ones. I would like to redo the driver inclusion with nlite, can you advise if I should select both "Intel® 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando)" ? Intel® 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando) Intel® 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (added by Fernando) I checked 4 drivers (don't know why they are doubled):
