When reading about IME (Intel Management Engine), it seems to be mentioned mostly when discussing AMT (Active Management Technology) features, which i've read needs vPro supported.
The computer has an i5-4670K CPU, the intel product page says there is no vPro support in this CPU.
The computer will not be on a business network (like i've read about in AMT articles)
Apart from AMT, or other vPro features, what else do the ME Drivers from ASRock do?
For this situation, is there any reason to install the Intel Management Engine drivers on the DVD that came with the motherboard (Z97 extreme4) ?
Is there any harm or security risk in not installing the drivers?
Many thanks for your help
