Will this update the ME firmware automatically?

Yes, it is part of BIOS update and if you revert to an earlier version of the BIOS the ME will revert as well. evgasjtx59

Hi Chris and EVGA team, Thank you guys for getting this BIOS out to us! It's a shame that EVGA has pulled out of the Motherboard market but I don't think there's another vendor out there past or present that would pull out of market segment and still provide warranty and BIOS support to their products they pulled out of like you guys have! APO would have been nice and official 14th gen support on Z690 also would have been nice but I understand the reasoning. So far testing the 2.16 12b bios has been working just fine. Thanks again!
