Because 11.6.0.1009 has an older date than 11.5.0.1019, Device Manager says that you are updated. You don't have to update to anything. Drivers 11.0 would work just fine on such a system. If you want to try the early 11.5 or 11.6 then you can do so but for now I would either stick to 11.0 or 11.5 as it's newer than 11.6 branch driver we have and we don't know the difference, if any.

@plutomaniac

Can I stay with driver already installed? 11.0.6.1194?

Could you tell me how to check ME firmware version?

EDIT: One more question: on Intel Download Center there is no newer driver than 11.0.6.1194. Why?

Thanks for your clear advice, we will not use the installer also, so we will stay on 11.5-version , untill a newer driver arrivés..........

Is there any disadvantage in not installing the manufacturer provided driver for Intel Management Engine in favour of the latest driver available on this thread? I am asking this especially in context of a Clevo Laptop system with Z97 Chipset and Core i7 4790K desktop processor. Can there be any performance issue like system fans not working properly if I install the latest driver from this thread?

@ bamboos:

Yes, you can and probably should stay at 11.0 for now. You can check your fw version with MEInfo tool or by drag & dropping your BIOS/SPI image to ME Analyzer. All the details are at the first post. Intel's website doesn't always host the latest drivers, it's usually the opposite.

@ akm:

The drivers are not OEM-customized so unless a release is buggy, newer is always better. I suggest you use the latest as seen at the first post.

When I trying to use MEinfo I got this:

"Error 82: Unknown or unsupported hardware platform"

EDIT: Nevermind, I downloaded wrong version of ME Tools ;)

@Plutomaniac

Could you tell me, does all drivers etc from this thread are directly from Intel, or other source?

And another question: Drivers which I downloaded from Intel says it's for Intel NUC... may it cause any problems in the future? Some performance drops etc? Or this is not only for Intel NUC?

The drivers are all made by Intel, work at all systems and are found either at Intel's or various other OEM's websites. No incompatibilities, non system-specific, no performance drops etc. Just install the drivers found here and you are good to go.

@plutomaniac

Thank you for the answer.

Last question: Actually my motherboard have P67 chipset. Can I sefely use drivers from Intel's website, while their description says: "for Intel NUC" ?

I am trying to update the ME firmware on older 6-series chipset PC, and it just won't let me. I am getting error 8716 all the time.
I simply type "FWUpdLcl.exe upd.bin". There's no -f switch for this old version, and according to the help all I have to do is specify the update file.

edit:
Even better now: I downloaded the other ME tools for this particular chipset, and this time it flashed. The problem is, after the reboot, the ME interface disappeared from Device Manager and when I run MEinfo, I now get "Error 9255: Fail to read FW Status Register value 0x0" error message.

@ Octopuss:

I need more information. What 6-series PC exactly? These can use either ME7 or ME8. What ME firmware do you currently have? What exact version of FWUpdate and other tools were you trying to use initially? You said that FWUpdate does not have -f parameter which was a thing at ME6 (5-series) and lower tools. So obviously you are using the wrong tools. What tools did you use the 2nd time and what firmware did you flash exactly?

It's an old H55 board. Did I write 6-series? I meant 5.
There are two ME tools archives, the working one was the older, 6.0 rather than 6.x I believe.
I flashed Intel ME Firmware v6.2.50.1062 (1.5MB).rar

I cannot verify if you system indeed has 1.5MB firmware as I don't know the model but I assume you made sure of that yourself. Now, the 6.0 System Tools are not older (in fact they are a lot newer than the 6.x we have) and they target different platforms which use Ignition firmware and not 1.5MB or 5MB. Ignition tools (6.0) are not compatible with non-Ignition ones so you need to use the 6.x system tools. Also, it's not possible to have used 6.0 because Ignition SKU did not use FWUpdate and thus there is no such tool there. As for your problem, try running Flash Programming Tool with command fptw -greset and check MEInfo and MEManuf again after the system has reset.

Ah, great. As I thought, 11.5 is for 100/200-series whereas 11.6 is only for 200-series. I haven't found documentation which proves that yet but from the GbE included with 11.5 SPI images I've found (always the SKL one, whereas KBL for 11.6) and your test, it's fairly obvious.

What method did you use to upgrade, FWUpdate v11.0 or FIT+FPT v11.0? If you used the latter, did you encounter any errors or similar? I remember that 11.0 FIT shows some ICC errors when loading newer branches (11.5 and 11.6). The warnings you see at MEManuf are probably due to the fact that it's not KBL compatible. We certainly need a 11.5 or 11.6 system tools kit to show up at some point.

Damn, the forum software is so broken I can't even use quotes.
Anyway.
I DID use the 6.0 tools, and I know for a fact I did flash the firmware with something that was not FWUpdate. I did it because it worked, unlike the 6.x tools where FWUpdate refused to work at all (as per my previous post).
I guess the board is kind of screwed now.
P.S. The board in question is Gigabyte H55M-UD2H - http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product...spx?pid=3309#ov
