I was looking on my motherboards website to see if they by any chance put a bios update for the 12xx v3 xeon cpus micro code nope there still being a prick. I then looked at the drivers and seen the chipset was updated from when I bought the motherboard don't they usually do chipset updates with the bios update 

my motherboard is a biostar hi-fi z87x 3d

He's just asking if it's really necessary for motherboard chipset drivers. To which I would reply yes.

QUOTES

"So because they didn't give you the results you want, they're biased? You realize that makes you biased, right?" - @App4that

"Brand loyalty/fanboyism is stupid." - Unknown person on these forums

"Assuming kills" - @Moondrelor

"That's not to say that Nvidia is always better, or that AMD isn't worth owning. But the fact remains that this forum is AMD biased." - @App4that

"I'd imagine there's exceptions to this trend - but just going on mine and my acquaintances' purchase history, we've found that budget cards often require you to turn off certain features to get slick performance, even though those technologies are previous gen and should be having a negligible impact" - ace42

Ahh, I always find it a bit harder to answer questions when there are no question marks.

sorry the tittle was the question I looked it up in device manager and I already had the update lol but I never did it windows update maybe? also I found "Intel® Xeon® processor E3 - 1200 v3/4th Gen Core processor PCI Express x16 Controller" too bad I can't do nothing with that though since I don't have a bios with the cpu micro code for xeon cpu's. I know some people have forced cpu micro code to bios before but I don't know how and feel it's not worth it
