Hi,

I do not mention Z390 because it is a thread that does not concern Z390 which uses a new/different branch of Intel ME firmware (12.x.xx.xxxx) which can not be flashed directly into standalone, but must be prepared with the Intel PMC (Power Management Controller) firmware corresponding to the chipset and chipset stepping, in short all that to say that to avoid any handling error concerning the flash of Intel ME firmware on Z390, I do not propose it, I'd rather let ROGers with a Z390-based motherboard get their Intel ME firmware via a BIOS update or when a standalone installer (Intel ME + PMC firmwares) is offered on the ROGers motherboard support page.

However for information, here for Z390 the Intel ME firmware affected :

Hi;
There is update IME for Z390 ver. 12.0.35.1427
You can download tools >>>> go to driver & utility >>> select bios and firmware you will see the ime tool

I can upload the file so here is what i have for HERO IX 7700k

We are good then. So far so good. I will send these to my friends on my own community since i am selling my board. so I can prepare the drivers. i will try z390 if i can get a good price here.

why the version on https://www.win-raid.com/t596f39-Int...tem-Tools.html
is 11.8.60.3561_CON_H_DA_PRD_RGN.bin and yours is 11.8.60.3561_CON_H_D0_PRD_RGN.bin
what's the difference?

ok thanks

Does this update the microcode as a bios flash would? I didn't do bios 1804 just because I don't mess with it if things are ok for the time being. But I think that one had a microcode update. If this version does not, how would I go about updating that manually? Or is a bios update the only way?

Hi,

No, the microcode has nothing to do with the Intel ME firmware. The microcode is updated only through a BIOS update or via Windows Update.

Ok thanks. And are the ME firmware drivers also released whenever MEI drivers are, or are they not synced like that. I need to check which versions of each I have because I don't think they're current.
