I know the thing with ME Analyzer. Im now still using my very old board (without ME), but i've meanwhile downloaded the newest Bios for the new Z77 Board and analyzed it by moving it on MEA.bat, which gave me those information of my Picture. Im gonna build the system after the Z77-Board arrived (I'm still waiting for it - today a DHL-Package will be delivered to me )

Greetings from Berlin,
und frohe Weihnacht


EDIT:

Aaah, now I understand what you wanted to tell me: Maybe the Pre-Owner of the board already updated the ME firmware. OK, so Im gonna use MEI info first to be shure which ME firmware is installed. Then MEManuf Tool, to check whether everything is OK and finally FWUpdate to flash the ME firmware. All as described from plutomaniac.

Error 8727: Firmware update tool failed to get the firmware parameters. I used Intel ME System Tools v7.1 r3 and Intel ME Firmware v7.1.80.1214 (1.5MB) on a P67 motherboard.

Solved: After BIOS update the motherboard became Ivy Bridge compatible and started to use 8.x ME.

@plutomaniac I'm getting build errors in FITC after applying settings to 1194, so how do I correct it? I've already transferred all the settings from the Gigabyte F6e BIOS ME Firmware to the 1194 EXTR version. I'm getting these errors:

Hello,
I have built a new PC with an MSI Z77A-G45 (Z77 Chipset) and a I5-3570 (without K) and made a Bios update first. The latest Bios included a firmware update for the Intel Management Engine to Version 8.1.50.1456. After installing Win10 x64 Pro and all the drivers (including IMEI-Drivers) I also updated the firmware to version 8.1.65.1586. I followed your advices and everything went fine. All the tests before and after passed without errors.

Now I have a small Problem and I don't Know, whether it's because the new firmware or not: I wanted to optimize my CPU. I've heard that - although it's a cpu without K - it's possible to overclock it a little bit. Two Methods are possible and can be combined:

A. The multipliers of all cpu cores can be set to the higest boost multiplier of one core (that would be 38 with mine).
B. The highest Multiplier can be set 2 obove the boost multi for one core (38+2=40).

In my board I have 3 modes: Eco, Standard and OC Genie II.
In standard mode I can do A) and B) without any problems and I can change DRAM speed to e.g. 1600 Mhz. But if I change that speed, the DRAM voltage is automatically set to 1,65 V. Thats to much. My Rams are 1600 Mhz but only 1,5 Volt. The XMP Profile which includes the correct speed and voltage is greyed out (an error?). There is an option "My OC Genie, but if I change those parameters, there is no effect - only if I use the OC Genie II mode:

The other possibility is to use OC Genie II and change the "My OC Genie Parameters". There I can activate XMP and do everything I told above, too. Now the RAM speed and voltage is set by XMP-Profile and works correct at 1600 Mhz and 1,5 Volt - but there is one problem: If set to OC Genie II, the CPU clock doesn't reduce in idle to 1600 Mhz (what would be normal), but stays e.g. at 4000 Mhz. Although EIST and all C-State Modes are activated. (C1E, too). I've tried everything: Bios defaults, CMOS reset and set those parameters again. In Win 10 balanced mode is activated, min. CPU activity set to 5%, max. 100% etc...

Could it be a small incompatibility with this new IME-Firmware? As i told, in the latest bios update, there is an IME-Firmware update integrated (with an older one than yours: 8.1.50.1456). Now my question is: Can I try to update this bios file, including IME firmware update over this new one - or can this "downgrade" result in irreversible errors and possibly damage my board?

quick question, i have a gigabyte z170x gaming 3 latest bios, but gigabyte didn`t update mei firmware, this firmware could have custom settings only for gigabyte or is something universal, should i update to latest ver on this site?
I did it for my laptop and everything is ok.. but dunno for my mobo
thx

for I5 6500 non k version and gigabyte z170x gaming 3 i need Intel ME 11.0 Consumer PCH-H Firmware v11.0.0.1194
For 100-series Skylake-S and Skylake-H systems which come with ME firmware v11.0.x ?

Anyone know how to slipstream the latest ME Firmware into an AMI bios file?

Thanks.
