Thank you for your work!

Can you mod the bios to unlock CPU-s multiplier? Like [URL=https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/203597-is-there-a-way-to-unlock-the-i7-950-multiplier-this-guy-did-it-o/]There![/URL]

I have Asrock X58 Extreme6 board and I7 950

Or you know somebody who can do this? Thanks!]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2018 18:02:55 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9239&PID=58020&title=spectre-patched-bios-for-asrock-x58-motherboards#58020 <![CDATA[Spectre Patched BIOS For ASRock X58 Motherboards : Updated all ROMs with more recent...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9239&PID=54727&title=spectre-patched-bios-for-asrock-x58-motherboards#54727 Author: Regeneration

Linked below is a database of modified BIOSes for ASRock X58 motherboards patched with the latest microcode (0x1F for Westmere, 0x1D for Bloomfield) against Meltdown and all variants of Spectre. Make sure the operating system is also updated to be fully protected from speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5754).

While most of Nehalem CPUs received a new microcode from Intel, there is an early stepping (C0) that hasn't and therefore still vulnerable at the moment. However, these very few CPUs will also benefit from increased security and stability due to more recent microcode. In addition, the ROMs feature TRIM support for SSDs in RAID0 and extended CPU compatibility table for all motherboards.

Unofficial ROMs! use at your own risk.

Some 3DMark and AIDA64 benchmark results are available here.

I normally hang on TechPowerUp, here's the original thread in case you want to report a bug.
