Hi,

This is not the release/update date, this is the Intel internal build date.

The 14.1.65.1990 ME firmware version previously posted contained this PHY firmware version : 12.14.214.2014 [01/04/2021]

Hi!

Thank you for clarification. Good to know)

in other word in order to update the Firmware PHY : 12.14.215.2015 , we have to re install / overwrite the firmware 14.1.65.1990 ?

Hi,

Absolutely, quite like a regular update.

It's about USB-C. There is no choice to be made, the PHY sub firmware must be updated just as much as the ME main firmware.

Thank you for the firmware driver. Asus is hopeless when it comes to providing driver updates.

Also, can anyone tell me if I need to install this driver every time I do a clean install of Windows or is it a one off install until the next update?

Thanks,

Hi,

The Intel ME (Management Engine) is firmware not drivers, only need to flash it once. On the other hand, the Intel MEI (Management Engine Interface) drivers below are the drivers that work in tandem with the Intel ME firmware, and these must be installed at each clean install of Windows :

[DRIVERS] Intel Chipset/MEI/SATA (1xx/2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx)

- Intel MEI Drivers (Drivers Only)

Perfect! That's what I thought. Appreciate the reply.

Thanks!
