    OK, even though I upgraded from the X79 platform, it's clear to me that there are a number of differences compared to the X99 platform..

    First off, it seems that there is no way to install the Intel AHCI drivers using Intel RST on Windows 10. In fact, RST won't even run unless I have the Intel Rapid Storage option enabled in the BIOS.

    But enabling it in the BIOS turns on the RAID function, and I don't care about RAID. I just wanted the more up to date AHCI drivers rather than the old Microsoft drivers which have been around since 2006.

    Is there any way to do this? Or will I have to preinstall the Intel AHCI drivers before installing Windows or something?

    OK I solved it. I just downloaded the IRST software from Asus, which is version 14.5. I was using the latest version directly from Intel's website, which is 14.8, but I guess it's not compatible with the X99 platform..

    Yes it is.

    RST is only for raid setups.

    Then how do I have it running on my current system with just a single SSD?

    IRST can be used in AHCI mode as well.. The only reason I had a problem before was because the version I was using was incompatible with my system..

    I am running 14.8 on my Asus X99-A in AHCI mode for a single SSD (Samsung 840 Pro). No issues with it here...

    Did you download it from Asus or Intel?

    OK man it worked that time. I think I know what caused the problem. Intel had a version of their chipset INF utility driver on their website, 10.0.28. That's what I used on my previous failed installation.

    Now I noticed that that particular driver is not on their website anymore, and they have the 10.0.27 driver as the latest version, which is the one I downloaded from Asus and used on my current installation.

    So I think what was causing the problem was that the 10.0.28 driver which I had before was defective, and was causing a conflict with the Intel RST software.

    Glad you got it sorted out. Chipset drivers always drive me crazy!

    I had to uninstall that RST driver today, I got memory_management BSOD's with it. YMMV obviously.
