[DRIVERS] Intel Chipset/MEI/SATA (1xx/2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx)

[Skidrow83]

Hello Friends,

I see this message about getting better interrupts with MsiUtility:

-If you want better interrupts delivery latency Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_util_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).-

Im able to enable msi/msix for all available components, what should be the priority low, medium, high or undefined? And does it always improve the performance? Which components recommended for msi high?

Thanks again, apologies if this has been discussed somewhere then kindly point me it.

*Special thanks to -MoKiChU- for your continued support to the community, it is highly appreciated!!

Intel VMD drivers? Should I install it on my ASUS TUF Z370 PLUS Gaming with my WD Black SN750NVMe 1TB SSD?

Hi,

You do not have to touch anything in interrupt priority (mostly Undefined for all devices except for NVMe controller devices which it's High).

If your MSI mode supported devices are already checked in MSI mode, you're fine.

.

Thank you, much appreciate your quick response!!

I don't see it. What are these drivers?

That's actually an older MEI version than here if you would have read the description:

MEI: 05/11 / 2021,2120.100.0.1085
SOL: 10/14 / 2020,2042.0.13.0
DAL: 01/21 / 2021,1.41.2021.0121
ICLS: 07/14 / 2021,1.63.1155.0

I agree. If you look at Heci folder you will see.

It's not easy trying to get around with all the name changes and the version numbers. I can see how one can easily get confused.

Hi,

You can differentiate a driver version number from a software/package version number by the second field in the syntax :

2131.15.0.2461 : Software Version (15 being the branch of the Intel ME Firmware of the motherboard chipset targeted by the software)
2120.100.0.1085 : Driver Version

So please, do not mix the types/sources of drivers you use :

- 2137.15.0.2461 Drivers & Software Package contains Intel MEI Driver and all the imposed SWC drivers (DAL, ICLS & WMI) but also 2 SWC drivers & 1 Ext optional drivers and unnecessary for most consumer users (SOL & WIMAN Ext+SWC) :

MEI Driver : 2120.100.0.1085 WHQL [11/05/2021]

SoftwareComponent Drivers :

DAL SoftwareComponent Driver : 1.41.2021.121 WHQL [21/01/2021]
ICLS SoftwareComponent Driver : 1.63.1155.0 WHQL [14/07/2021]
WMI SoftwareComponent Driver : 2130.1.15.0 WHQL [22/07/2021]
SOL SoftwareComponent Driver : 2042.0.13.0 [14/10/2020]
WiMAN Extension Driver : 2129.62.62.0 [25/07/2021]
WiMAN SoftwareComponent Driver : 2129.62.62.0 [25/07/2021]

- 2124.100.0.1096 Drivers Package (Drivers Only) that I offer contains Intel MEI Driver and only the imposed DAL, ICLS & WMI SWC drivers (If you don't install the imposed SWC drivers, Windows Update will install them for you with older versions because the install order of these SWC drivers is initied/imposed by Intel MEI driver itself) :

MEI Driver : 2124.100.0.1096 WHQL [07/06/2021]

SoftwareComponent Drivers :

DAL SoftwareComponent Driver : 1.41.2021.121 WHQL [21/01/2021]
ICLS SoftwareComponent Driver : 1.63.1155.0 WHQL [14/07/2021]
WMI SoftwareComponent Driver : 2130.1.15.0 WHQL [22/07/2021]

So If you have used drivers packages from others types/sources than what I offer here and want to use my drivers packages, I advise you to do this :

- Uninstall Intel Management Engine Components from your apps installed (Start > Settings > Apps) then restart your PC
- Launch Driver Store Explorer > Check the boxes of all versions of these drivers .inf (if you find them) : heci.inf | dal.inf | dal_wc.inf | iclsclient.inf | lms.inf | mesrl.inf | mewmiprov.inf | wiman.inf | wiman_wlan_extension.inf
- Check the box "Force Deletion" then click on the "Delete Driver" button then restart your PC
- Download the Intel MEI drivers package from the first post of this thread
- Follow the Install/Update Process

- If you are already using the Intel MEI drivers package from my thread : You can update directly by following the Install/Update Process.

I don't see it. What are these drivers?

Hi,

You can find them in your Device Manager :

MEI Driver : System devices > Intel(R) Management Engine Interface #1

DAL SoftwareComponent Driver : Software components > Intel(R) Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface
ICLS SoftwareComponent Driver : Software components > Intel(R) iCLS Client
WMI SoftwareComponent Driver : Software components > Intel(R) Management Engine WMI Provider
