Is there any fix for my 2nd Generation i5 (Sandy Bridge) board (B75 Pro3-M)?

As I understand it, the version of the ME driver software / driver in Windows (installed via a package named "Intel(R) Management Engine Components" in my add/remove programs) is the Windows driver version, which is a different piece of software from the actual firmware that resides in the CPU. For example, on my system here, Device Manager shows my ME Windows driver as version 11.7.0.1017, but the ME firmware installed on my i9-7900X CPU is 11.10.0.1287. Installing the new firmware patch from ASrock does not update the Windows drivers for ME, just the firmware itself on the CPU. Does that make sense? |

While I think the patch from ASRock will go to patch Management Engine, the other patches you'll have to apply will need to come from your OS vendor (Microsoft or Linux).

on my z170 extreme 4 it now says i am patched but also goes on about some intel license client is obsolete http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/new-hardware-vulnerability-found-in-intel-processors.html how much of this Spectre??and ?�Meltdown??br>does this apply too or am i gona need another fw update update? Im still using bios update 3.20 i only did this update for the above, I am assuming if I did the bios update to 7.20 I would have reaplly thew above fix? i am also assuming asrock is gona release new bios for all this Edited by tsunami2311 - 06 Jan 2018 at 3:42am |

Some interesting news here -- I heard back from ASRock support tonight, and here is the message:
============================================ From: Support [mailto:<redacted>]
check the information below if your motherboard chipset is effected
Intel released the newer ME version to fix the security bug recently. The models 100/200/300 could be updated ME firmware by ME tool directly. Please be noted that there are two different ME type for our models.
1. Consumer ME Chipset: Z170, Z270, H110, B250, H270, Z370 Consumer ME link: http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/TSD/ME-consumer_11.8.50.3425.zip
2. Corporate ME Chipset: H170, B150, Q170 Corporate ME link: http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/TSD/ME-corporate_11.8.50.3425.zip
Microsite link: Reference: http://www.asrock.com/microsite/2017IntelFirmware/ ============================================ I replied and said
that I had already tried running that Consumer ME patch version per my
original message. What is interesting, however, is that support said
that the consumer ME patch only supports these chipsets: 1. Consumer ME Chipset: Z170, Z270, H110, B250, H270, Z370 I
replied and asked if they know if and when a version of the patch for
the X299 chipset, which is what my motherboard uses, will be available.
So this explains why the patch doesn't work with our X299 boards: the patch doesn't support that chipset. EDIT: Also, according
to the INTEL-SA-00086 Detection Tool, my Intel Management Engine version is
11.10.0.1287, so clearly the ME version for X299 boards is separate from the ME versions that the ASRock ME patch is supposed to update.
