[SOLVED] USB 3.0 and Win 7

[Red2Six]

I'm running win 7 pro and my MB is a GA-78LMT-USB3 Rev. 5.0. I can NOT for the life of me find drivers to make my USB 3's to run at there potential.

Any help would be much appreciated...Thanks so much...

Peace

Either one of these two. One has version 4.20, released in 2016: http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Driver/mb_driver_via-usb3_xp.zip
And one has version 4.90a, which is released in 2015. Don't ask me how the version naming works... : http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Driver/mb_driver_via-usb3.exe

Both should work on Windows 7, 32 and 64 bit.

Thanks so much taeioum.... I used the 490A and i'm only getting 9 GB/Sec.... thats smoking fast compared to my 2.0 slots. I may try the newer one ans see what that does. Much appreciated sir.

If those don't work, I'm afraid you'll have to contact Gigabyte. Those two are the only two linked on the motherboard's software and drivers page: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-78LMT-USB3-rev-50#support-dl-driver-usb30

But you're welcome! Let me know if you're still in trouble.
