Hello!

I thinking about to update ME firmware of my laptop, but there are so many links, i a bit lost.

Some data:

CPU: i7-3820QM
PCH: HM76 Express
FW Version: 8.1.0.1248
MEI Driver Version: 11.0.5.1189

Main reason why i want to update it - strange behavior of GPU PCI Express (after driver installed GPU-Z always show PCI-E x8 2.0, but not 3.0). Both CPU and GPU (GTX 1080 Ti) support 3.0, but for some reason connection drop to 2.0. I have PCI-E version switches in BIOS (unlocked) and i actually can drop down version to 1.1, but can't to 3.0. I know it working with Radeon cards as 3.0, since one user with such card, laptop and adapter (but CPU was i7-3630QM) made screenshot from GPU-Z.

So, maybe update of ME may help with it. I just not sure which version i need. I made screenshot of MEInfo.


P.S. eGPU connected to laptop via adapter, it's really big story.

Hm... got Error 8714: Firmware update not initiated due to file open or read failure. I renamed firmware file, so it have short name. CMD was run as admin and i used Win64 version of FWUpdate.

Thank you. As always, you make things too easy for us :-)

All I can suggest is to try redownloading it - maybe the file got corrupted for some reason.

I stitching together CSME, PMC and PCHC for a Comet Lake LP system. I used the latest ones available for each and followed the guide detailed in point B. However, the end result seems not to be FWUpdate compatible, ME Analyzer reports FWUpdate Support as "No". Since the guide explicitly states to ensure it's "Yes", what am I doing wrong?

I have received a message when creating the build about Boot Guard being disabled, is it related?

I have uploaded all of the files to this folder in case anyone would like to give them a look: https://mega.nz/folder/ZU8iESCa#OfCxUP8HowwhK1Zuacf0Xg

You haven't followed the guide properly. You cannot end up with "outimage.bin" if followed correctly, only "FWUpdate.bin". Are you following "How to use CSME v13 - v14 FWUpdate Tool" section?

Hi there,
im just trying to install Intel Me for an older pc, but am not having much luck

It is an older PC with a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R which is the Intel P45 chipset
CPU: Core 2 Duo E8400
Win 10 PRO

I have tried running all the MEinfo version that i think would be around its era, but none of thgem work, im guessing because no me software is currently installed?
i think i needed this one "Intel MEI Drivers & Software v5.2.20.1030 (ME 5)" but the link doesnt work
Am i on the right track?
thankyou
