Where do I check the latest Chipset version? I found the MEI, just not sure which on the check in device manager.

Also, you can find it in Control Panel, Programs & features, Intel (R) Chipset Device Software

Highlight the entry and you can see the version at the bottom of the window...

Not sure about Device Manager, but it will be listed in Armoury Crate's driver section if you have it installed...

Found it. Thank you!

Is there a reason chipset doesnt show up in device manager or Driver Store Explorer?

Hi,

If you are looking for the package version number of the Intel Chipset Drivers you are using, you can simply see it via Settings > Applications : Intel(R) Chipset Device Software.

If you are looking for the version number of the Intel Chipset Drivers you are using, use Driver Store Explorer and by looking in System devices category in the INF column for the .inf files ending with system from INTEL. You can see via the Device Name column which devices in the Device Manager use which drivers.

Note (from Intel) : Intel(R) Chipset Device Software uses an unusual date for the devices it is targeting. The date 07/18/1968 is symbolic - Intel was founded that day.
