Bought an Asus P8P67 Pro, Intel 2600k CPU, all working great (though the idle of 40-45c on the stock cooler has me concerned), except ONE driver is missing...

What is the Simple Communications Controller? I tried looking it up and it seems related to network drivers, modem, or something similar. Why wasn't this installed, and can I ignore it if it's not a big deal and I can't find drivers?

Thanks!
 
I have the same thing and even updated to the latest Intel chipset driver v9.2.0.1021 - Asus only has .1015 driver up. I'm wondering if maybe its the HD 3000 IGP that we can't use..?

EDIT: I got it! It's the Intel Management Engine Interface driver. After installing it the Unknown device is no more. Here's a writeup on what it is:

More importantly where to get it:

Yes, this says it's for the ASRock P67 board, but it worked for me. It's also newer than what Asus has for the P67 Sabretooth (but somehow I can't find a direct link off their site)

Asus really needs to get their crap together and update their site too.

Yep, its the Intel Management Engine Interface. Had the same problem on my p8p67 pro. The driver should be on the install dvd.
 
Thnx! Worked for me. Not sure I should be using another boards drivers... though it looks generic anyway.
