        Or maybe it is in limbo like the trim support was for X79 in RST 11.6 OROM, possibly might just need a BIOS update to incorporate it (speculation).

            Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

            Trying to learn more about the motherboards firmware and Option Roms. I noticed a modified BIOS updates the firmware of the items listed below on my GA-Z77X-UD4H motherboard but was wondering how to find out what versions my motherboard is using now? I installed Hardware Editor and found the ME Firmware version but couldn't locate any of the others. I was also curious if I flash my motherboard with a modified BIOS, then later flash it with a non-modified BIOS, does that cause the motherboard revert back to the original firmware versions? Thanks.

              It is possible to update the bios for GA-965P-DS3 rev. 1.3 to support Q9550 processor?

                According to GB, Q9550 seems to be supported by BIOS F13 (step C1) or F14 (step E0).
                BIOS F15c is available in Latest Beta Bios thread.
                It is really useful to complete and keep your PC Specs or Signature up to date in Settings /My Profile (motherboard, CPU, BIOS version modified or not ...) - Thank you all .

                        Didn't consider it late so no problem. At least now I know what my options are... thanks for the info.

                              You may be right, and this is true for many other drivers, firmware etc if you do not have a problem... but you're on TT so we like to tweak

                              ME firmware 8.1.40.1416

                              (New) Added support for Continuous Aware Mode (CAM) during wireless redirection sessions.
                              (New) Updated HDCP for Intel WiDi to version 2.1.
                              (New) Decreased the link protection host connection and reconnection timers from 5 to 3 seconds.
                              (Fix) Fixed an security vulnerability issue.

                                lol that's so true :D
                                I googled around a little out of general interest, and all of the stuff surrounding the ME driver/fw is pretty confusing. I understand the fw is needed for the PC to be accessible for remote access independantly of OS, through some special Intel platform. But what's the point of the actual Windows driver?
