As least as far as the server-class mobos (AsRockRack) are concerned,
the company is acknowledging that they are aware of the issues and working on
releasing FW fixes: http://www.asrockrack.com/support/faq.asp%3Fid=33

msi sends beta bios for z87 board to forum user... since I had msi board before (it broke eventually and I replaced it with asrock) while troubleshooting problems few years ago I did receive few beta bioses myself from msi so I thing this is legit

U guys seriously expect a Meltdown / spectre fix from Asrock for more than 3 month old MBs? its no secret that ASROCK stops the support after that interval. See the Intel ME bug and buggy bioses being uptodate forever without fixing them.
I'd be more than suprised if every Z270 board will receive an update. But seriously. Normally users should have known before buying asrock. Good HW, bad support. Thats why u mostly save some money grabbing Asrock boards. Edit: I mean, look at that forum. Seems to be setup by a student back in the 90s. Edited by Krautmaster - 08 Jan 2018 at 2:57pm |

Please note that Meltdown and Spectre variant 1 cannot - according to current knowledge - be fixed with a microcode update. According to The Register, Skylake and later CPUs will receive a microcode update to counter the Spectre variant 2 (which requires kernel countermeasures as well), but I don't know if that's actually necessary or if it only makes the performance impact of the kernel countermeasures smaller.
In any case, hopefully ASRock will be able to provide all available updates to those affected. |
