I've always liked OCZ. Tony from OCZ visits here occasionally and he's also working with Intel on the BIOS for this board.

If I right click the SMBus controller and check the properties, it says "No driver installed", however, if that was the actual case, Windows should still be reporting the SMBus controller with a conflict (!) and it is not.
I haven't see any pop-up configuration wizard asking for drivers since...

I'm a little concern about it, but other than that, my system is running like a champ, I had to work with Kingston to clock my memory at 1600mhz since later on I discovered that most of nowadays memory by factory defaults kicks at basic frecuencies to ensure POST.

Hope my experience helps you clarify something with the issue reported by nick DX48BT2...
That's normal. There actually isn't a driver. The chipset "drivers" are really just a collection if INF files that describe the hardware.
