How's the new 8.1.52.1496 ME FW with the Z68 chipsets? Is it the recommended FW now?

Yes, this new Intel ME8 Firmware works fine with my Z68 system (look >here<).

This is what the MEInfo tool shows after having flashed the newest ME8 Firmware and driverpack:

Thanks. Is it now your new ME8 recommendation for Z68 systems?

Is there a new v8.0 driver corresponding to this new FW release?

It is my recommendation for Z68 mainboards, which are already using any Intel Firmware version of the v8 series. This has to be checked by using the MEInfo tool v8 before trying to flash a new ME Firmware!

If your Z68 mainboard natively has an Intel ME8 Firmware, you can either install the Intel MEI driver v9.0.0.1287, which is within the Intel ME8 Driverpack v8.1.40.1416, or the newest Intel ME v10 Driverpack, which I have used..

@PROMAN28

The story is like this: Chipset x series -> Firmware x+1 -> Tools x+1. Example: Chipset 5 series -> Firmware 6.x -> Tools 6.x. This is not always the case, as you can have FW 8.x on 6 series or FW 9.x on 7 series. But you should always link firmware x with tools x.

For your case, Dell Vostro 3500 comes with a 6.1.10.1052 firmware in latest A10 BIOS. You should use tools 6.x and save this ME with "FWUpdLcl -save". Sadly, I don't think this will work with 6.x tools, because I have not seen that argument in the help. Maybe you can try with 7.x tools. I have extracted that ME right from the BIOS file and I can give it to you, but I don't know if this is as safe as using a .bin obtained by the -save command. It is your risk, after all.

If you have other ME tools or firmwares, please share them.

I don't know, it's an update for Intel Gigabit Ethernet firmware; I don't have a changelog...

@ gpvecchi:
A change of the GbE region seams to be very risky and I doubt, that the benefit will be worth this risk.

Yeah, I guess you don't remember anymore that I did already upgrade to v8 :) So it's time to upgrade to this newer one then.

For the MEI driver, I have v9.0.0.1287 already installed because that was your recommendation a few weeks back. Is the newest Intel ME v10 Driverpack better to use now?

There is a newer Intel ME Driverpack v10.0.0.1204 WHQL available.
I will upload it as soon as possible.

Thanks! Is it better than than 9.0.0.1287 for Z68 boards?

This question cannot be answered by me, because I haven't yet installed them onto my Z68 system. The Intel MEI drivers v10.0.0.1204 are much newer than the v9.0.0.1287 ones and running fine with my Z77 mainboard.
