Confused on some displayed System Devices

[miketen587]

OK before I start my specs are as followed:

P8Z77-V LX
3570k
GTX 560TI
Xonar DG audio
Cooler master 700w
8gb ram

Anyway, last night I was checking to see if I had any chip set driver updates available and came across some confusing information listed under my system device tab from within the device manager. Picture is posted below.



I'm completely confused as to why my system is recognizing my chip set as C216 family as indicated by the 3 lines there at the top. Shouldn't it be reading ass z77?

I'm also confused by the bottom 2 lines referencing a Xenon processor. Why isn't it referencing my 3570k?

Did I somewhere along the line install a chip set for a Xenon processor and now my system devices are confused?

That pic is unreadable.

Thanks for the heads up. Should be fixed now.

Sandy Bridge, WorkStation/Server H/P/Q 67, Z68, etc...
C202
C204
C206

Ivy Bridge, WorkStation/Server
C216

The simple description is that it's a "better" version of Z77, but still Z77... compare that last link, to the stock/orignal/desktop Z77

If you want more links here.

BTW, PRINT SCREEN will capture your screen to the clipboard. ALT-PRINT SCREEN will capture the active window to the clipboard...

Its just the descriptions put into the inf file, that was used in the chipset driver package, as was pointed out, the z77 and the c216 family chipsets are fairly similar.

So in stead of having 2 line for the same id, the just put it into one
