Rampage IV Extreme Windows 8 Install

Hey everyone thought i would write this because the multiple times installing windows 8 a different problem every time.

When you Install windows 8 the drivers you need to include are:

1. Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility (WHQL)

2. Intel(R) Management Engine Interface

3. Realtek Audio Driver

4. Your video card driver (Nvidia or AMD)

5.Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Driver

6. Asus_USB_3_FW_Update_Tool - make sure to update the firmware for usb

7. Asmedia AHCI Driver

8. Bluetooth Driver

Drivers i had problems with are:

1. Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Driver - Seems to name all the drives wrong in the device manager not sure if it cause a performance issue or not. I have not tried Intel RST.
I attached an image of my ssd showing up with a bad name.

If you have raid you should be able to install RST the drive names in the device manager should not matter.

2. ASUS AI Suite II - This caused serious performance issues when installed. I advise to not install it until its updated.

Optional:

1. ASUS ROG Theme -Just because its Awesome!
