Hey all, what meinfo manuf and flash should I be using on win10 and with x99 platform, the 9.1 branch stuff such as meinfo doesn't load info but gives a bunch of errors saying it won't run.

I was planning on using those tools to up my firmware and driver.

Another question: win10 automagically installed it's own imeid, is this the one I should be manually updating? "IntelR c610 series/ x99 chipset management engine interface 8d3a" ?

There is also 4x "microsoft windows management interface for acpi", just in general there are a ton more entries here than on z97.

Thanks

Thank you for your quick response, it says no where outright "Intel Management Engine Interface" only "IntelR c610 series/ x99 chipset management engine interface 8d3a"


That worked, driver installed, meinfo then worked, then I flashed.

@ eknas:



I am not aware of any "countdown to shutdown" and I don't see how ME is related to this. You can update to the latest 8.1.52.1496 firmware if you want but as I said, I don't see the relevance to the problem you are having.

The ideal situation is to read about compatibility before upgrade, as it is a few clicks away and saves you the headache. But Intel also pulled a dirty move with this artificial restriction, when the hardware is capable of handling the upgrade. The restriction is not on the CPU, for many reasons: limited valuable space, has to be added to all compatible CPUs, there would be no counter but instant freeze etc... It is more likely to be on the chipset and the counter points to firmware, not hardware. So it should be found in ME Firmware. But do you think that Intel would use this restriction only to be removed later with FITC, which would spread like fire and no one will think of buying a new board? It is either hard-coded or a secret option. Here are some informations:







It would be interesting to run IUSmfWin from Intel ME System Tools v8.1 r5 pack, with the following arguments and always add -verbose at the end, to get more details.

@ RiP:

Indeed, your system has a 5MB SKU (and also an older firmware which I didn't have at my repository). Download the 9.1.30.1008 5MB firmware and flash that.

Hi! If i have Clevo notebook W230ST and actually FW 9.0.xxx 1.5MB i should use the 9.0.30.1482 1.5MB or 9.5.15.1730 1.5MB?? Modder named "Prema" (http://biosmods.wordpress.com) said me that 9.5.xxxx is right for another SKU maybe server boards etc. but in this thread i see that 9.5.xxx is for mobile and 9.0.xxx for desktop... for servers etc is 5MB FW... i'm confused and i don't know anything...

I'm a lttle bit confused as well, because your notebook has the Intel ME Firmware v9.0.
This is what I recommend to do:
1. Run the Intel MEInfo tool for ME v9 series and check the current ME Firmware version.
2. Depending on the result of the MEInfo tool you can update the ME Firmware either to v9.0.30.1482 1.5MB or to v9.5.15.1730 1.5MB by using the related ME Firmware Update tool.

Hey dude, I have this error:

Regarding the note in the OP that says "** Also for some 6-series, C600 & X79 systems which have been upgraded to ME firmware v8.x", are H67 chipsets, specifically the Intel DH67BL mobo, included in the "some" list? I'm not sure if I should update the MEI of this mobo to just the latest v7.x or the latest v8.x.

Thanks.

Based on the information in the BIOS setup screen, it has 7.1.60.1193 on it so I'm guessing I should flash the v7.1.80.1214 firmware then.

If the .bio image includes both ME7 and ME8, how does it know which one to flash in my system when I upgraded the mainboard's BIOS? In my case, why did it pick ME7?
