Windows will not find the driver automatically. Is it important if you are not running the system on the chipset, or does it related to chipset on the mother board? I am using an Msi gaming 5 with z97 chipset and an intel i-7 4790k processor (as well as a gpu, not running the system on the built in graphics on the chipset, if thats relevant)

Here is the info for SMBus controller driver http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-013541.htm and it comes with the intel chipset driver, you don't have to install it, but I recommend to install it, because the chipset driver comes with other drivers too, like pcie, memory, etc controller driver http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/images/diagrams/z97-chipset-diagram.png
You can get the chipset from MSI site. http://us.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-GAMING-5.html#down-driver&Win7%2064
