Gigabyte Aorus X299 Ultra Gaming- Chipset Drivers

[blader80]

Hi All,

I'm having a dilemma I have the above motherboard with F5C bios (latest) and i9 7920 and all latest Win10 updates as of yesterday.

I'm wondering if I should install this chipset update or if I have newer one installed already (this is from gigabyte website)?

Here is what device manager says

I'm just afraid this can cause some sort of slowdown with my machine if I update from the gigabyte website ? I'm totally lost with this. It seems newer IMEI versions have LOWER numbers?

I also think the latest Windows 10 Pro has slowed down a little bit after April 30 major Windows update. I noticed slowdown in video export by 3-4%.


Thank you all!
Alex

Perhaps the newest Spectre patches are slowing your machine down.

Thank you - that's what I'm figuring although I thought Spectre patching was done before April 30 or maybe they've added some stuff in....

As far as i know, Intel Management Engine will not speed up or slow down your computer, so it should not matter which version you have. It's used by IT departments to manage many computers at once, not home users with one PC.
