Intel microcode 0x12B rolling out

At first glance I noticed vr_voltage limiting settings are implemented now :)

That was quick.

Thank you for this!

I installed it, seems to be advisable if you want keep your cpu to intel's safe limits.
If it is stable, I can't answer that, for me it runs but too early to tell, for you, you will have to test for yourself.
Is it safe? It's official, no beta. It applies intel's latest safety limits. So suppose it's safe.

As always be careful flashing bios, restore default settings if you had any overclock going before you flash and only flash if you are confident you won't loose power during the flash.

Installed it this morning, so far everything appears ok and stable. No bsods, hangs, freezes, etc. Cpu voltage is fine during idle and under load. Cpu temps are fine too.

In 20+ years of building and using PCs, I've never updated the motherboard's bios so many times in a short time span. Never been 100% comfortable updating the bios due to concerns of power failure while it's udpating.

For anyone who is also curious, and since this forum doesn't seem to get much action, I'll answer my own question. Just updated my board to bios version 16.01 with the latest intel microcode 0x12B, and no, it does not include an update to ME. Kind of odd seeming all the other main manufacturers do include an ME update.
