Intel chipsets and chipset drivers

[Yanif]

Intel has myriad chipsets, like H87, B85, Z97, etc..., But on Intel's site there is no individual chipset driver. Instead there looks like only generic utilities to install chipset driver. So my question is: do different chipsets use same driver? or the utility will detect which chipset I have and install the appropriate one? or I didn't find the right place?

Thank you for answering my questions.

You run this and it can tell if your chipset INF file needs an update.

Hi Daniel,

That is the generic utility I was talking about. I read through the release note and also searched their website, but could not find which chipsets the utility is designed for. That's why I posted my question. But what I still don't understand is: will the utility detect which chipset I have and install the corresponding INF file? or is same INF file used for different chipsets?

"the utility (will) detect which chipset I have and install the corresponding INF file"

According to what it says, this is the correct answer.
