If a new chipset is released the situation changes maybe? or if you are on older win10 build etc? anyway in case of chipset drivers I guess its "best" to just get the latest ones the newer the hardware is atleast.Subreddit and discord for Intel related news and discussions.
If a company buys Intel Active Management Technology software and configures its machines to use it, system administrators can turn the computer on and off, and they can remote into the computer regardless of whether or not an operating system is installed.Ĭlick to expand.I see, just was bit weird to me, that chipset drivers (not ME) are supposedly meant to be updated for "crucial issues and system perf/communication between devices like cpu/gpu/disk/pci/ram" according to most stuff you can read about them, but might aswell not bother at all and just use whatever default drivers come with a fresh win10 install then more or less? It is a part of Intel Active Management Technology, which allows system administrators to perform tasks on the machine remotely. It is located in the Platform Controller Hub of modern Intel motherboards. The Intel Management Engine (ME), also known as the Manageability Engine is an autonomous subsystem that has been incorporated in virtually all of Intel's processor chipsets since 2008. I can disable the ME as a device in Device manager if I would suspect it causes some troubles.
I installed some version of ME drivers just to check whether ME FW has any glitches.
Intel ME device driver is a driver for the specific ME controller installed on your motherboard. In Win8 such unrecognised chipset devices are of lower quantity, And in Win10 such unrecognised chipset devices are almost gone. In Win7 some of those chipset devices would have generic names since OS came without inf-files for these devices. Intel chipset driver is just a bunch of inf-files to give a proper names for some chipset devices. Still interesting topic for me with MEI, what the f**k is the purpose of installing it for regular consumers/gamers, if any Personally I never installed the software/driver for it and even disabled in device manager couple months ago but doubt it matters either way for things as gaming, might be wrong though, for me no difference at all.its probably always running on some level no matter what, as long as its not corrupted or something, IDK Well, if it's not a backdoor then I would say that it's a kill-switch for users who. Its a little black box, and only Intel knows exactly whats inside." Do I need these or may I uninstall them I've never seen these before and after I googled it, they do not appear to be necessary unless I want to give unknown outside people the ability to come in and remotely brick my computer.
It has full access to your system hardware, including your system memory, the contents of your display, keyboard input, and even the network. I've been getting hourly pop-ups from Intel about their firmware recovery agent and Management Engine. It runs when your computer is asleep, while its booting up, and while your operating system is running. it's a standalone Minix-based system that can take control of the system at the lowest level Īlso have a look here: " is a parallel operating system running on an isolated chip, but with access to your PCs hardware. IME has been installed on all Intel chipsets since 2008 "Wow, is there a doubt in anyone's mind as to what IME is for? Let's see: It even seems a bit scary as one user wrote:
Click to expand.yeah I went deep into the rabbit hole at and other sections of that forum for some digging, can atleast confirm RST is useless for me with single nvme disk and no RAID,Īnd from the looks of it MEI does not seem to improve any real world performance atleast in terms of fps in games or anything measurable, from what I can see atleast?
