Two Questions:
I just loaded the motherboard drivers for my Intel motherboard and there is a shortcut on the desktop called "Download Intel Desktop Utilities". It takes you to www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/idu/index.htm
I click on "Download Intel Desktop Utilities" then I select "DESKTOP BOARDS" then I select "INTEL 6 SERIES DESKTOP BOARDS" then my motherboard is NOT in the list of motherboards to the right.
I want to download the "Desktop Board" utility that shows you the status of my motherboard DZ68DB.
QUESTION: Will the utility for "Intel 6 Series Chipset" work for my motherboard even though my specific motherboard is not listed?
QUESTION: When will Intel add support for my DZ68DB motherboard? Thanks all. Rick
Interesting, I never noticed that the DZ68DB isn't listed. I just downloaded and installed version 3.1.4.031a and it does work just as expected (Win7 x64).
The only odd thing I've noticed is that with Smart Response Cache enabled, I don't get SMART info from the accelerated drive. That's not only in Desktop Utilities but in the storage interface as well.
Try again Rick. It is the last one on the list!! Regards. Peter
I don't see it. I just checked. Below is a screen shot.
What options did you pick? thanks.
Thanks. I'll load it if there is no other options.

Rick - Go to Support and make your selection. http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support?iid=hdr+support, Peter
Peter,
I appreciate the help very much. Did you actually see the Desktop Board utility for DZ68DB motherboard? I still don't see it.
As you suggested, I went to www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/idu/index.htm
I selected:
1. Desktop Boards
2. Intel 6 Series Chipsets
3. Intel Dekstop DZ68DB (which is my board)
then Windows 7 64 Bit
then for Dowload Type I selected "Applications".
There was no Desktop Board utility. There were only "3 results matching"
1) Lucid Virtu
2) Intel Integrator Assistant
3) Intel® Integrator Toolkit
Here's a Copy/Paste of the options I selected.
3 results matching:
Desktop Boards + Intel® 6 Series Chipset Boards + Intel® Desktop Board DZ68DB + Windows 7, 64-bit* + Software Applications sorted by relevance
Thanks a bunch. Rick
Hi Rick - From reading your initial post and looking at the screenshot, I thought you could not find your board listed. I did not look at the Product Support Information. Now that I have, I agree with you that IDU is not listed. Regards. Peter
Oh well. thanks anyways. I'll keep checking or try loading the utility that's out there now for the other I6 chipsets. thanks again.
Rick
So you've been running it on a DZ68DB motherboard? I might give it a try.
Rick
Yes - DZ68DB. I just downloaded the one for the 6-series chipset and installed it about a month ago, and it's working as expected. Until your post, I never noticed that it didn't specify that motherboard on the download page.
I might have mentioned - the only thing I notice with Desktop Utilities and Rapid Storage is that with Smart Response Cache enabled, I don't get SMART information for C:\ or the cache drive. I do get SMART for another non-cached drive in the system.
