Are you having any of those issues? If not I wouldn't bother.

ROG Hero XIII | 10900k @5.2 GHz | g.skill 2x32GB 4200 CL18 | ROG Strix 2070S | EK Nucleus 360 Dark | 6TB SSD/nvme, 16TB external HDD | 2x 1440p | Vanatoo speakers with Klipsch sub | Fractal Meshify 2 case

Not anything that I can relate to low lever hardware issues.
But there must have been a lot of changes since 11.0 - 11.6 revision
and I don't like the fact that some components have not updated for some reason, while others did.
Should not they be in sync ?

Anybody with a Z170 chip set ? Has your hardware updated to 11.6 completely ? Or it's a mix of versions ?

Installed the latest full ME 11.7.0.1010 package from intel and now I am happy 😉

One thing to note, before installing disable all antiviral software, all system diagnostic and monitoring software, and run installer in admin rights.

I have the IX Formula

How do i inplant the new ME to the 0906 Bios_

First you should get intel ME tools package.
Then run MEInfo to get details as to what you have.
Then find the required chipset rom update.
And using the intel tools flash new firmware to the chipset.
It is independent from the main BIOS.
