This is the first system I built to ever have issues with drivers installation. No manual install possible since I don't have the actual driver files. Device Manager still has it as an "Unknown Device". It launches but that's all, no GUI, no popup, no nothing. The Artheros Bluetooth setup just does nothing. I found the driver files in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Marvell" so I tried the manual install route again it finds the driver but fails to install it. The Marvell 9128 setup runs, but after reboot the Device Manager shows that it's still using Microsoft's own storahci.sys (a.k.a "Standard SATA AHCI Controller"). I had to manually install it through Device Manager. The ASMedia SATA setup fails with "Error: Path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\ASM106xSATA\Driver' not found. The executable setup in the driver packages (AsusSetup.exe) doesn't always work.

Some drivers can be found under Win 8, some under Win 8.1 same hardware device has different driver versions depending if you're looking on the basic P9X79 driver page, the Pro's, Deluxe's or the WS'.Īfter spending some time searching for the latest of everything, I ran into further issues when time came to install. First of, it had been a while since I last visited the driver download pages, but boy, are they a complete mess!!
