BIOS 0805 Z370-E with Intel ME Update

[theWanderer521]

ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING BIOS 0805 as of 2018/6/11
Intel New ME Update, Improve Stability.

New BIOS update is up for Z370-E with the latest INTEL ME UPDATE

I haven't upgraded yet. I currently have BIOS 0616 installed.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this new update. Sadly, "Improve Stability" doesn't say much.

Thanks a lot!

how can we check the Intel ME FW version post the update, should it be done from the BIOS menu?

I dont' use AI Suites on my Asus motherboards. I prefer tweaking BIOS manually. However, I know others like AI Suite but for the Z370 Series, the AI Suite III (updated) has not yet been released. I am involved with this stuff everyday at www.mousegolf.com .

You can check firmware version from BIOS - after the update it must be version 11.8.50.3470

You can also download the tool from Intel

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025619/software.html

Install it then click DiscoveryTool.GUI folder then run the program. It will say what version is your firmware below

I have learned that there is no going back once 0805 is installed. This is due to the Intel ME security in the new BIOS. The 0805 update works fine for me but it's good to know why it won't allow downgrades through any built-in BIOS Flash method on the Z370-E Gaming Board.
