New Intel Drivers for Z77 Chipset?

I can't seem to find the latest Intel drivers for the Z77 chipset.

All I have are the chipset drivers that came on the motherboard DVD but they date back to 8/26/2011, version 9.3.0.1011.

Anybody have a clue where I can find them?

Intel's so called "chipset drivers" only rename the devices in Device Manager with more descriptive names. There is no actual driver. They aren't really even needed.

The latest I've been able to get my hands on are from Gigabyte, version 9.3.0.1021. Specifically for the Intel 7-series chipsets:

************************************************************
*  Product: Intel(R) Chipset Device Software
*  Release: Production Version
*  Version: 9.3.0.1021
*  Target Chipset#: Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family
*  Date: July 04 2012
************************************************************
 

I haven't found them on Intel's site officially at this time, because the only sets they're providing are for Intel-specific mainboards. Their installer probably groks SMBIOS information for specific model strings and if yours isn't in the list the installer exits.

So at this point, just get them from your motherboard manufacturer.
