Hi , i have a question , after i install windows 10 and all drivers of the motherboard asus maximus xii formula , i will install this firmware https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-xii-formula-model/helpdesk_bios

Intel ME

Version 14.1.53.1649V1.1
MEUpdateTool
Intel has identified security issue that could potentially place impacted platform at risk.
Use ME Update tool to update your ME.
*We suggest you update ME Driver to the latest Version 14.1.53.1649V1.1 simultaneously.
Please download the file and check the MD5 code first.


ok the question is simple should i need to install this firmware in the future if i format the computer and install windows again or the firmware will never delete even if i i wipe out the m.2 and install windows again ?
i know the drivers will delete and must be install again , but idk about the firmware , can someone pls help me with this ?

should i update the bios first and after install the intel ME firmware ?
btw i9 10900k just in case help with the answer

Correct. That new firmware is written directly into the relevant chip on the motherboard.

For a new motherboard, you can't know what version it will come with, until you actually get it and look. It may be the most recent, or that motherboard may have been sitting in the retailers warehouse for 6 months.

A Windows reinstall does not affect the firmware version on the motherboard.

Before you Update, you NEED to know exactly what version is already on it.
Often, you can't just jump to the very newest in one step. Sometimes, you have to install these in stages.

For instance:
Comes with v1.
The latest is v5.

Some motherboards will require you to install v3 first, then v5.
This is outlined in detail at the manufacturers website.
