New ME 9 Series FW version 9.1.20.1035

Extracted from a ASRock Z97X Fata1ity Mobo. Bios update version 1.90 <-Newest

The odd thing is this is a 1.5MB consumer system, But has the same version number
for the business version!?! Hope this helps someone figure some things out!

^And size is not right.....

Hello everyone!
I've read the first page but i have a little question....I know that I can install the newer versions but.....with the chipset P67 (Sabertooth P67 B3 for the precision), what is the best MEI driver? What is recommended\suggested? Thanks!

A question...

Why do you recommend to install only a driver? I've installed whole package 10.0.31.1000 (1.5MB) for my Z77A chipset and there is already included compatible 10.0.30.1054 WHQL MEI driver and also strange for me 10.0.30.1054 LMS driver - why you suggest to abandon this LMS driver and recommend to use only MEI driver? Can you explain it to me please?

Thanks!

For Intel 6-Series Chipset systems like yours we recommend to install just the Intel MEI driver v10.0.30.1054 WHQL from within the Device Manager.


Happy New Year!

The latest Intel MEI Drivers &amp; Software packs have been developed by Intel primarily for the latest chipsets (8- and 9-Series). As a consequence only the newest Intel systems will fully benefit from the features, which are put into the latest Intel MEI software.
It is no problem to get the latest Intel MEI software v10.0.31.1000 installed onto systems with an Intel 6- or 7-series chipset, but the users should know, that any software, which is running in the background, may have a negative impact on the performance or stability of the system.
Due to the fact, that the Intel Management Engine is working fine with just the appropriate MEI driver and doesn't really need additional MEI software, we do not really recommend to install the complete Intel MEI Drivers &amp; Software Set for users with an Intel 6-Series Chipset system.
By the way: For the same reason we do not recommend to install the complete Intel RST Drivers &amp; Software Set for users, who are running their SATA drives in AHCI mode.

New Intel ME Firmware, Version 8.1.60.1561 (5Mo) on Station-Drivers

CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE
- Removed SSL 3.0 support from Intel ME firmware because SSL 3.0 was vulnerable to the Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy (POODLE) attack.

On an Asus P8Z77 WS, Cant figure out which version i am supposed to use 1.5 or 5mb ? From first page : "Intel ME Firmware v6.x and up are divided into two SKUs: 1.5MB for Consumer Systems (Hxx, Mxx, Xxx, Zxx) and 5MB for Business Systems (Qxx, QMxx, QSxx). Not sure what this is ? Z77 ? or is there a sku line of information in the MEInfo tool ? Which brings me to another problem , the command prompt instructions dont work*, but i do get some info when i go to the extracted files and open MEInfo.bat** Probably doing something stupid in command prompt but i am not that familiar with it :/

I'm sure you see Z77 as a "Zxx" board, right?
