MEI Firmware always did not affects system performance. It was provide more security and protecting against backdoor or root admin attack via USB ports.

By the way if you want to flash older version of MEI Firmware. You can use this command via FWUpdlcl64 Tools.

C:\> FWUpdlcl64 -F "XXX.BIN" -ALLOWSV then hit enter.

Note :: "XXX.BIN" = your old MEI Firmware binary file.

If the option -ALLOWSV not work. You can try second BIOS option on the last page of BIOS menu.

It may help if your board still had initial BIOS version on it.:o

The ME of second BIOS may still the version that you want. :cool:
