yes sorry … and thank you
Yes I am aware, thank you.
CSME 13 with PMC 130 is for Ice Point chipset (Ice Lake CPUs) and CSME 14 with PMC 140 is for Comet Point chipset (Comet Lake CPUs).
These systems will arrive to consumers in mid September so I’ll add firmware here around that time. And to hopefully avoid the inevitable question:
CSME 13 and CSME 14 are NOT upgrades to CSME 12 and none of these are compatible with each other.
Hi plutomaniac,
you can found new ME Firmware v12.0.45.1509 consumer Z390 chipset, from August 2019 bei JZ, see this Thread, https://www.jzelectronic.de/jz2/forum.php?act=38551
Intel CSME 12.0 Consumer PCH-H B,A Firmware v12.0.45.1509
Intel CSME System Tools v12 r18 - (2019-08-27)
Intel CSME System Tools v11 r26 - (2019-08-27)
@ morpheus67:
Very nice find morpheus67, thank you very much for the report! 
If I remember correctly, Z370 boards are CSME v11. A proof to that is that the CSME v12 tools don’t work while the v11 do.
Does that mean my BIOS do not have/need a PMC?
PMC is for CSME 12 and newer firmware, not CSME 11.
Ok, thanks. In the first post, you mentioned that the Platform/SKU/Version can all be found with either MEInfo or MEManuf (with the verbose switch). I tried using both verbosely but I cannot find the SKU in the details. I know the current version of the firmware I have is:
FW Version 11.8.55.3510 H
Does that mean I use a Consumer version and not Corporate or Slim?
The CSME v12+ tools show better info regarding SKU, including SKU Type. Anyway, if you don’t see vPro related stuff like AMT or similar, you have Consumer firmware. Slim is only used by Apple.
I see. I’ve attached the results of both MEInfo and MEManuf and I don’t see any vPro and AMT stuff in there so I guess I’m using Consumer (which most gaming boards do anyway). Let me know if you think otherwise. Thanks.

Also, after you upgrade the CSME firmware using FWUpdate in Windows10, would a restart be enough? Or do I need to do the BIOS flashing best practice of shutting down the system, removing the power plug from the back, draining the power from the system by holding the power button for 10 seconds, and then turning everything back on?
Intel CSME 11.8 Consumer PCH-H D,A Firmware v11.8.70.3626
Intel CSME System Tools v11 r26 - (2019-09-09)
In Intel CSME System Tools v11 r26 - (2019-09-09) only the FWUpdate (WIN32) and FWUpdate (WIN64) versions are updated to 11.8.70.3626.
Can I use FWUpdate (LINUX64) -11.8.65.3606 for Intel CSME 11.8 Consumer PCH-H D, A Firmware v11.8.70.3626 or wait for an update to this utility?
Only what we find
Yes
yep, I’ve read… but obviously I don’t have either Comet Lake or Ice Lake on my Z370 motherboard.
Windows update has installed the new driver, so I think there should be a reason for that, also for older chipsets
Hello
, what is please “Intel ME FITC” also need to be updated?
ME fw update works well , thanks
…edit
I’m sorry I found it 
I’m curious in page 1, you mention an engine Co-processor that writes information to the DATA section of the Engine region. Where is this co-processor located on the motherboard?
Specifically for a Lenovo D30 board, I did some research and found a ‘security’ chip: Nuvoton NPCT421L. Is that it?
Thanks.
The Intel ME is situated on the chipset for modern Intel chipsets like Z370/390. Which should be under a nice heatsink on most boards. That Nuvoton is not Intel ME, it’s a TPM chip. For your Lenovo workstation board, which has a rather unusual (for the consumer market) 2 socket design, the chipset seems to be under that small aluminum heatsink near the SATA ports.
