Meanwhile I got the first report from the Forum member boscfab, who had tested the 64bit variant of my "Latest nForce Driverpacks for Win7-10" while running Win7 x64 - big thanks to him! Here is an excerpt from what he has written:
Due to this positive test result I decided to make the 32/64bit variants of my "Latest nForce Driverpacks for Win7-10" available for the public.
Update of the start post Changelog:
new: "Latest 32bit nForce Driverpack for Win7-10 x86 v10.2" (with several mod+signed drivers inside)
new: "Latest 64bit nForce Driverpack for Win7-10 x64 v10.2" (with several mod+signed drivers inside)
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Good luck with these new nForce chipset driverpacks! Dieter (alias Fernando)
Hi, I tested the driver fernando V10.x on my PC with Win7 x64.
My PC is an ACER VERITON X270 chipset nVIDIA 7100 / 630i (MCP73PV) with 4GB DDR and ATI HD 5450 (see the reports for more information); the HDD is connected to the integrated nVIDIA SATA controller and is not RAID mode. Installing Fernando’s drivers have been updated drivers SATA, Ethernet and nForce System Management. I made a series of tests with HD Tune before and after installation of fernando’s driver. Before:
After:
I can say that I have found good improvements in transfer rate of SATA HDD.
In the following days I will try to install Win10 x64 and repeat the test.
The old links have been removed and the new links will be inserted, when I got the feedback, that they work. Please read the read coloured text within the start post of this thread. If you are interested in testing the 32bit/64bit "LEGACY" driverpack, please send me a PM.
Hi, fernando im installing wint 7 on a zotac mpc61 and cannot complete the process because havent sata/ahci controllers…i try with driver i downloaded from zotac webpage and nvidia webpage but didnt see the hdd…i appreciatte you sen d me a link with the correct driverpack for my situation…thanks
Your MCP61 mainboard has an on-board NVIDIA nForce 430/405/400 SATA Controller, which should be detected automaticly by the Win7 Setup. If it should be not detected, there is either something wrong with the HDD or with your current BIOS settings. There is no need to load any additional nForce driver to get Win7 properly installed onto your MCP61 system running in IDE mode. EDIT: Once the OS is up, you can run the installer of the appropriate 32/64bit variant of my "Latest nForce Driverpacks for Win7-10".
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum and thanks for having tested my "Special nForce2-4 Driverpack for Win7-10". Additionally I have to thank you for the uploaded Win7 in-box NVIDIA nForce GART driver. By the way: The uploaded driver is absolutely identical with the GART driver, which is within my above mentioned 32bit nForce LEGACY driverpack.
But something have to be different to the one, you send me. What a shame, I’ve no time to reproduce the equal, virgin state of the system evaluation progress: Now it worked, too. This one is from your LEGACY-Package (e.g. the used DLL):
Thank you for having attached the real Win7 in-box AGP driver and the related machine.inf file. My problem is, that this is not a NVIDIA, but a Microsoft driver.
Of course it is, it’s the build-in-one, as you ask for. So I don’t think, it’s useful for distribution (since build-in!), but the nVidia-One is far outdated and nevertheless lacks at least the system evaluation progress, which even not exist in time of 2004.
Not all Windows in-box drivers are from Microsoft. Example: The Win7/8/10 in-box NVIDIA nForce RAID driver is made by NVIDIA and not by Microsoft. There are a lot of other third party drivers, which belong to the Windows OS.
Can anyone tell me what Devices i can / have to change manualy After driver Setup on Windows 10 x64?
My Mainboard is a Asus m4n98td evo (nforce 9 chipset).
Finds übrigends Klasse das sich jemand die mühe macht die guten alten nforce (sli) Chipsätze unter Windows 10 kompatibel / optimiert zu halten! Respekt!! Bin immernoch mit meinem nforce 980a sli Chipsatz zufrieden auf dem 2 Nvidia GTX 560 TI 448 mit Pcie x16 rennen.
The first look should be done into the Device Manager regarding missing drivers. If no devices should show a yellow flag, I recomend to test the NVIDIA nForce SATA driver v11.2.20.9, which is within the SATA_IDE subfolder of my "Latest nForce Dricerpack".
Let me start off by expressing my gratitude. My nforce 730a "beater box" is still kicking after all this time, however, it has been plagued by high CPU utilization via the System process. I concluded that it’s probably a driver and thus found your awesome post here. I installed the mod+signed drivers for Win10 x64 and it SEEMS to have fixed the problem. I have a question though: I am trying to install the Realtek driver but can’t seem to determine which .inf to point to when doing the Have Disk part. There are a ton of them I can rule out like some that mention Dell or Toshiba (my board is an EVGA) but there are still many I have yet to eliminate. Any ideas on how to narrow it down? Again, thank you for creating this pack.
There is usually no need to force the installation of the linked Realtek HDAudio driver by using the "Have Disk" option, because this driver is WHQL certified. If the HDAudio device is currently using a newer driver, it may help to uninstall this driver first and then to install the linked Realtek driver. Another option is to check the HardwareIDs of your on-board HDAudio Chip and to search for them within the various INF files. Note: You will not be able to get the Realtek HDAudio driver installed, if the on-board Audio Chip is an AC’97 Codec one.
