Intel DX79SI looking for drivers w7/w10 64bits. Apparently Intel does not host them anymore...

[christ_himself]

My x79-up4 board died a month ago, so I got an Intel DX79Si of EBAY.

 

I've been looking through Intel’s website and could not find anything else than the latest bios revision.

I found the network drivers but that’s about it.

 

Anyone know where I can acquire a full set of driver or an ISO of the original disc maybe?

 

Thank you

I found a bios update on intel's website, does it boot into windows? you might not need drivers for it

Perhaps this is it? I see X79 chipset drivers and realtek audio drivers

You shouldn't need drivers I use none.  Windows 10 installs everything just fine.

I needed to update the bios for the board to load with an RX 570. It does boot to windows. I needed driver in win 7. Just tried win 10 and it seems fine. I just find it annoying that Intel stop hosting driver files when the x79 is still very capable. I can find drivers for an x38 board of 2007 of any manufacturer but Intel went ahead and removed these from their website after 5 years....

 

Anyway thanks all for the quick answer

windows 10 fixed the driver issue.

 

Now i'm getting this code:

            

F8	EFI boot service ExitBootServices ( ) has been called

 

Pc works fine and seems stable. what is it supposed to be?
