I haven't tried overclocking my i7 5820k processor yet, but do I need to update the BIOS on my X99M Extreme4?

Everything has been working fine, but I did just install Win10 for the first time today.

If things are working, should I not worry about updating the BIOS right now?

Would there be any other real reasons to update the BIOS on the X99M Extreme4 mobo?

Is there a solution for the ASRock X99M Killer?

Coming from X99 Taichi BIOS 1.81 microcode 0xB00002E Broadwell E (i6800K):

Updated to Win 1903 and the overclock broke again!

Updated the BIOS to 1.82 which includes microcode 0xB000038 as per latest Intel release from 2019-09-18.

Overclock working again - GREAT - Thank you ASRock! Highly appreciate that you do not abandon older motherboards!

The Windows 10 1809 update has removed the ability to delete the KB4100347 update. Now I have no option to restore my overclock on my 6800K.

Thank you. I updated to 1.81 and regained my overclock. It would have been nice if asrock took it out of beta or at least indicated what it fixed.

Coming from X99 Taichi BIOS 1.70 microcode 0xB00002A Broadwell E (i6800K):
Updated to Win 1809 and the overclock broke since Windows 1809 loads microcode 0xB00002C (just like the previous KB4100347 update). On the positive side, however, Win 1809 now uses Retpoline for Spectre mitigation which is much better from a performance perspective than previous mitigation measures.

Updated the BIOS to 1.81 which includes microcode 0xB00002E as per Intel's recommendation. Now overclock works again in Win 1809 while still maintaining Retpoline mitigation - GREAT! Thank you ASRock!

Only workstation motherboards gave out the official BIOS fix.
So we can do nothing but modifying the BIOS manually and give a class action to Microsoft.



I am running a 6800k OC's at 4.0 MHz after removing Windows 10 KB4100347.

My X99 Taichi currently has BIOS vs 1.5 on it. I am not clear on the role of BIOS vs 1.8 with regards to Haswell E_CPU microcode 0B00002A, and whether installing this BIOS update would allow or not to run my CPU at an OC speed.


Could someone help? Thanks in advance
