Thanks for performing these benchmarks!
I really find it hard to believe that different MEI drivers could cause such cause substantial performance differences. Is it possible these results are within the margin of error? What would happen if you were to actually never install/update the MEI driver?

@ gihan :

There are three ways to combat this: a) use FWUpdate to downgrade the ME before flashing and then update it again, b) replace the ME Region with the one from the A13 update and then flash bios + update me manually again, c) modify the BIOS update files to ignore the newer ME and flash only BIOS

a) You cannot downgrade using FWUpdate because the 9.5.14 ME that is inside the A13 update has a VCN of 5 whereas your 9.5.45 ME has a newer VCN of 9.
b) Run Flash Programming Tool with command fptw -d SPI.bin and check if it reports Error 26. If it does, you cannot replace the ME Region with the one from the A13 update as your Flash Descriptor is locked.
c) I have attached the files that the A13 executable extracts (use WinRar v5.x). You can use SctWinFlash32 to manually flash your BIOS. The file you need in that case is DOH50A13.ROM.

Note: I take no responsibility for option c. It should work but I cannot even check the arguments of WinFlash without a PhoenixBIOS system.

@ those who send pms about the archives abeing "corrupt" :

They are not! WinRar v5.x or later is required. Read the first post carefully!

thanks bro it worked really appreciate !!!! you're a genius!!!!!!!!

It would be nice if you could tell me what you did to solve the issue. Method C by running the BIOS Flasher directly with the .ROM image?

Also, run MEInfo (shouls display info and no red errors) and MEManuf (should report MEManuf Test Passed) to check that everything is ok with the ME firmware. Other than that, you are good to go. But do let me know of how you solved the issue for future reference.

i should thank you bro and all tests were passed again thanks!!!!!!

Thanks!
I couldn't find the MEI Driver v11.0.0.1144 (1,5Mb) for Operating System others than Windows 10 (aka Biostar motherboard: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/intr...php?S_ID=802#dl).

Is there one for Win 7 x64 around?

Either I'm blind or I can't find the INF only version of 11.0.0.1157. Can you point me to it, or attach it?

Thanks in advance, very interesting results :)
