Guys, sorry if this is a dumb question but I have no clue which Intel Management Engine driver would be compatible for my device.

I have a Gigabyte Z370 HD motherboard (Z370 Chipset) with an i5-8600K CPU. The one Gigabyte's website offers is outdated. Intel's website does not offer any Intel Management Engine drivers for my device components.

Is there an official compatible IME Driver for my device?

Hey guy's, can i know why the FD of my BIOS File is shown as Unlocked in MEInfo, i have GA-Z97M-DS3H Rev 1.1 F5 Bios is Updated?
Thanks

That is normal for Gigabyte BIOS @ammoune78 and usually you get lucky and the FD is actually all unlocked on the board too (with Gigabyte)
If you can dump FD and ME via following then it's probably all unlocked >> FPTw -me -d me.bin
Confirm by dumping FD using >> FPTw -desc -d fd.bin

Thanks for your reply @Lost_N_BIOS , with the two commands you wrote, the two files are successfully dumped. It means that, yes, all unlocked?

You're welcome! It's not 100% definitive, upload the FD file and I will tell you for sure.

That is up to you? I prefer it all unlocked, for everyone always, but that's because I modify BIOS all the time for people and when regions are locked it causes issues/hassles for users when flashing.
You can lock yours if you want, if the FD is unlocked to write to, I will show you how or send you a locked FD file to flash if that is what you want to do.

Yes, that is fully unlocked FD (Read/Write any region)

You'll have to wait on someone else to comment about that, I am unsure, maybe @CodeRush or Plutomaniac can comment on vulnerabilities of an unlocked FD security-wise

Can you please tell me how to lock it? So i'll just stay with minds free. Can i copy the entire ME file firmware and paste it to the BIOS File without modifying something on that new MEFirmware like the one posted in the first post of that topic?
Thanks

ME FW has nothing to do with locked FD in the way you are thinking - [Guide] Unlock Intel Flash Descriptor Read/Write Access Permissions for SPI Servicing
Here is locked FD (write to FD locked, read/write ME Locked) - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...128977777837200
Write to BIOS using >> FPTw.exe -desc -f fdlock.bin

Once you do this it cannot be undone without hardware flash programmer, or pinmod short on the board to rewrite the FD again, so be certain that is what you want.
