I hope all boards will get bios. I have h97 fatality and z97 pro4. Nice that they put it in news.

that's what I´ve waited for. Thanxx for sharing. Of course the current Haswell/Broadwell microcode which was released by Intel recently is buggy/causes unexpected reboots. But glad to hear that updated UEFI's will come asap. |

It's that 2nd link that others have mentioned that talks about older hardware. The 1st link, the one from the actual news bulletin, only mentions 100/200/300 series chipsets. http://www.asrock.com/Microsite/SA00088/ This is the 1st paragraph in the link: ASRock is aware that the current Intel® microcode version might be defected by security vulnerabilities, we are working closely with Intel® to fix and update new BIOS for ASRock 100/200/Z370/X299 series motherboards.New BIOS versions for ASRock 8/9/X99 series and SoC motherboards will be created after new intel microcode is available.

If you have a non ASRock system: Microsoft's Website is a good starting point: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4073757/protect-your-windows-devices-against-spectre-meltdown as it lists the deep links to the manufacturer's Meltdown websites for Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo and many others.
Although very late to the game, I'm glad they finally did it, but on Jan 18 it was hardly 'news' anymore and considering that we have been talking about it in this forum topic since Jan 6.
Same here. I still have a core i5 2500k too! My understanding is that Intel has not released microcode for these CPUs yet so there is at this point in time nothing that ASRock or any other manufacturer can do about it |

So according to the news bulletin released yesterday on January 18th, they only mention current updates for 100/200/300 series for now, and then intend to update 8/9/SoC in the future. Not sure what SoC is.
Is 8 series for Haswell? I have a Z77 and Ivy Bridge, is that 7 series? Intel said they are working on CPUs up to 5 years old. Haswell is just under 5 years, but Ivy Bridge is just over 5 years. |

I know it's probably a long shot but securing older boards like my B75
Pro3-M with the very popular 2nd Generation i5 Sandy Bridge 2500K would be nice

latest beta have 8 and 9 series updated last month so that boards are still updated. I really do not wont to upgrade until new cpus are without current bugs and they are faster substantially from what I have now. i have asrock h97 killer and asrock z97 pro 4 boards.
