Motherboard problems

I've been trying to update the firmware for my motherboard due to getting poor transfer rates on my drives. 


The board is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 REV 1.1 with the latest BIOS (F10e) and i can't figure out how to do it. I've downloaded 


the driver from the website, it gives me a bunch of files that don't have anything to do with the chipset.


 


Any help?


 


The speeds below are what i'm currently getting on a WD Black 1TB running windows 7 64-bit


 


Read signature for full specs.

you might want to download the SATA drivers for your mobo

 

also for you mobo make sure you plugged the HDD to the SATA3 ports which are running from the AMD chipset and not the secondary controller

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

That's the problem, i've tried downloading the sata drivers, but it doesn't give me any way to install them.

 

and those speeds are best case scenario, after defragging for just under two days

the drives i'm using are all plugged into the native sata3 ports. The secondary controller is for the eSata ports on the back only.

there should be a setup.exe file which is the installer for the drivers use that or use the update the driver under the device manager
