What does this inf utility do?

You have not installed it? The older ver. is on the P6T CD for the x58.

You want to use the -OVERALL command found in the readme.txt

-OVERALL
Updates ALL INF drivers on all available devices
even if third party drivers are currently installed.
This flag works in Interactive Mode only.

I created a directory called Intel. I placed the update utility in there. And created a shortcut. In my case C:\Intel\INF_allOS_9.1.0.1007_PV.exe -OVERALL



look, Intel uses 9.1.0.1007. Read your MB pdf.

You can OC all you want. The OS set-up is just as important for performance.

Man, glad u posted that. I have the same problem as you do.
Very slow transfer... Reinstalled windows/drivers etc but still same problem.
No idea what else to check.

Yeah this really sucks...

Try the new Intel inf utility ver. 9.1.0.1007
Use the -OVERALL command. I have fast transfers.

Thank you can you please elaborate on how to update the chipset drivers though? I run the utility but there seems to be no change can you explain how to update? I created the same directory but it doesn't seems to do anything or maybe I just don't understand exactly what you are talking about...

Ya, it does nothing without the -OVERALL. Intel is playing it safe.

Create a shorcut. Go to browse and find your utility and after with a space add -OVERALL

For Example, c:/Intel/setup.exe -OVERALL

Or use Run. put the path of the utility and place -OVERALL after.

You are using MS 2006 inf. Intel has the correct ones for better/ proper x58 setup. I think that may fix your file transfer problem. If you still can't figure it out, post the name and path of you utility.exe and I will send you a shortcut. If you update and still have slow speeds, I may be able to help you with that too.

I am pretty sure I have the correct INF the one on my disc is the correct one and I did the -OVERALL and it went through the process but there was no change, which makes me think I had the correct version installed but I'm not sure how to tell.. Here is what I did I put the Inf utility in C:/Intel/INF_allOS_9.1.0.1007_PV.exe -OVERALL then double clicked and it ran.. It just immediately said successfully installed..

I am trying different hard drives right now to see if the problem could be the hard drives....

With -OVERALL it will update them anyway. Go into device manager and look at the date/ manufacturer of one of your x58 devices. If it Intel, you are probably in good shape. If it is MS 2006, you need updating.

Is your update file named INF_allOS_9.1.0.1007_PV.exe ? I have seen the same utility named different.

Put this on your desktop and click it.

Yeah man thanks I have narrowed the problem down to these 1TB Seagate Drives with 32mb cache.. Anytime I try and transfer to these drives from anything else my transfer rates are all f'd up so now I need to know if it's a Seagate problem or a 32mb cache problem.... I would bet on the X58 and the 32MB cache being the problem... Looks like we need one more Inf update somebody call intel and tell them Nvidia called and they want their board back....

Anyway I can transfer from WD Velociraptor to WD velociraptor no problem but any transfer to the Seagate and it's like 5mb/sec versus like 80-100 normally so booo...
