Latest Intel Management Engine Driver

Something interesting I saw today.
I'm not sure if it's on older Intel MEI(Intel(R) Management Engine Interface) versions, but I updated to MEI_Intel_v1952.14.0.1470 today and there is a tab(Firmware).
I never seen before in Device Manager.
It shows the ME firmware version. Usually you need an Intel tool or to look in UEFI/BIOS to see it.



How about you @Brink or anyone else?

@Cliff S,

Interesting. I don't have the Firmware tab yet here.

Good to know.
I mean in the sense that I am not loosing my observation ability

The only thing I did different than usual, was instead of updating like MoKiChU says, right clicking the .inf and .cat files to install, I tried it through Device Manager; pointing to the extracted folder.

The Hero got a new BIOS today.

Version 2301
2020/04/2810.41 MBytes
ROG MAXIMUS X HERO BIOS 2301
"*Improved system performance
*Update CPU microcode for security issue.

390 Boards?
I haven't seen one yet that can OC as high(unstable but good enough to get a CPU_Z validation) on the forum OC board yet.
The top 5 are all Z370.
Z390 have crappy VRM'S
