Well, I haven't heard any screams of pain just yet. I dont see people panicking anywhere, so maybe I'll just flip a coin. ;)

Is the x299e-itx/ac board using the same microcode as the base x299 chipset? ie my x299 TaiChi will receive the same base code as your x299? Do you happen to know?
Unfortunately, I'm not an expert, but here's what we do know:


X299 Taichi - version 2.00, release 2018/3/2, size 11.58MB
"Update Skylake-X CPU Microcode to revision 43 and Kabylake-X CPU Microcode revision to 84. (For CPU security update)"


X299E-ITX/ac - version 1.50, release 2018/3/2, size 11.16MB
"Update Skylake-X CPU Microcode to revision 43. (For CPU security update)"

----------------

They were released same day, and have same Skylake-X Microcode for revision 43. Does that help any with the decision to flash?

Thank you for that. 

My 7800x idles at 23-29c, and when I (factory) OC a tad (from base 3.5 to 4.1), I idle at almost identical numbers. 25-30c. 

Under full load (I crunch for SETI using BOINC every night), this CPU hits around 49-50c. Under full load WITH OC to 4.1, it hits about 65c. 

Is the x299e-itx/ac board using the same microcode as the base x299 chipset? ie my x299 TaiChi will receive the same base code as your x299? Do you happen to know? I still have not flashed to 2.00, and am still sitting on the fence about RMA'ing this board for one without the 4k BluRay playback limitation.

Has anyone.... done any testing on this code? Is there any feedback from bench testing?
The x299e-itx/ac had BIOS 1.50 released on Mar 2nd.

I flashed as it contained fixes for Skylake CPU. I've done zero benchmarking, so I can't give you any hard numbers, but if there's been a performance drop off, I haven't noticed.

Also, my system was stable before... No reboots or crashes.

This microcode for skylake CPUs lowered their VCore settings. My idle temps on the CPU were in the 42-46C range, and VCore was at 1.126V. Much too hot for my liking. I was even considering a repaste last weekend. After the flash, idling at 32-34C with 1.066VCore on the CPU

What a difference a flash makes!
