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

Intel are saying all CPU's from 6th Gen to 8th Gen have had code updates rolled out , why are we on Z170's from AsRock not receiving anything ?
Something like 90% from the last 5 years have been updated !

Cause Intel did a sh*t on ucodes: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3248975/components-processors/spectre-cpu-patches-reboots-intel.html

I'm just wondering to upgrade to AMD if Intel don't realease a patch for Ivy and Sandy...

Z170 extreme 4 here also but I think the fix is broken so even if it was ready I'd wait.

Oh my, this is just getting from bad to worse Unhappy

I still maintain that we should install the patches because apparently only Broadwell and Haswell microcode causes issues. In the case of Broadwell and Haswell of course we should not install the firmware and perhaps even return to an older firmware.

As it is now, to the best of my knowledge

  • older than Ivy Bridge: no patch from Intel
  • Ivy Bridge core i 3000 series: no patch from Intel
  • Haswell core i 4000 series: patches are bad, don't install
  • Broadwell core i 5000 series: patches are bad, don't install
  • Skylake core i 6000 series: patches are good
  • Kaby Lake core i 7000 series: patches are good
  • Coffee Lake core i 8000 series: don't know
