Good about the firmware and health validation by the 3 tools. Now, 10.0.27 is not a proper driver as it's part of Intel Chipset Utility. You need to replace that placeholder with a proper ME driver. Proper and new ME drivers are 10.0.30.1054 and 11.0.0.1155 as of now. I suggest you install the Intel MEI Driver v11.0.0.1155 MEI-Only Installer. You don't need the full driver packages found at section A2 because your system has 1.5MB ME SKU.

Check the bottom of my main thread, read the two red asterisks **. Some 6-series could be upgraded from ME7 to ME8 in order to support Ivy Bridge cpus. Your system is one of them. Other than that, your current 8.1.52.1496 1.5MB firmware is up to date. For driver you can update to 10.0.30.1054 or 11.0.0.1155. I suggest you install the Intel MEI Driver v11.0.0.1155 MEI-Only Installer. You don't need the full driver packages found at section A2 because your system has 1.5MB ME SKU.

Thank you for using ME Analyzer. Regarding the driver, you won't gain any performance by updating it if that's what you are looking for. MEI is just a way for the ME subsystem to communicate with the operating system and it's applications properly. If it works, it works. Update to 11.0.0.1155, there is no problem. Expect bugfixes (mainly for the unreleased Skylake), not performance improvements as Fernando said.

@ ex58

Yes, I am aware of the source. I'll update later on as a) mediafire is messed up again and b) Skylake firmware is not important for end-users currently.

Station-Drivers insists on calling these 1.5MB and 5MB which is wrong. It's actually Consumer PCH-H (example Z170) and Corporate PCH-H (example B150). We have yet to find Consumer/Corporate PCH-LP SKU firmware.

Updates 14/07/2015:

* Intel ME 11.0 PCH-H Corporate Firmware from v11.0.0.1158 --> v11.0.0.1160
* Intel ME 11.0 PCH-H Consumer Firmware from v11.0.0.1149 --> v11.0.0.1158

Updates 15/07/2015:

* Intel MEI Driver v11 MEI-Only Installer from v11.0.0.1155 --> v11.0.0.1157
* Intel MEI Driver v11 INF from v11.0.0.1155 --> v11.0.0.1157

@ caleb59:

FITC is a tool, Flash Image Tool. Nothing to do with your current firmware version. What that program reports is the version of FITC that the OEM used while changing the firmware settings for your particular system. ME Analyzer also reports this when loading EXTR firmware similar to this:



It has nothing to do with 7-series fitc not being updateable and stuff like that. That doesn't make sense. Either way, you can find the latest system tools (including fitc) at the main thread.

Thank you Stasio.

Updates 17/07/2015:

* Intel ME 11.0 PCH-H Consumer Firmware from v11.0.0.1158 --> v11.0.0.7101

Note: I won't be able to search or upload new Engine stuff for the next 10 days. So, help each other and manually upload stuff at file sharing sites. Download the stuff from the sources first and then re-upload as they may get deleted down the line and to protect the sources.

Is the updating firmware really necessary? I mean, does it improve something for the end user?

I just updated the MEI Driver to version 11.0.0.1157 (although i used the 1158 .zip from Intel's website, dunno why it installs as 1157).

---

Only the included Intel MEI Software is v11.0.0.1158, the included Intel MEI Drivers are v11.0.0.1157.

So Fernando, do you recommend updating the firmware or is that nothing really important at all?

And why the Software doesn't work in my case? I've a Intel 7 Series chipset.

Why do you want to install the complete Intel MEI Software package? I personally just install the pure Intel MEI Driver from within the Device Manager.
