Hi,
Yeah user stated that less details on oc.net too
Another broadwell-e user said BS but he's on very old bios version not the newer beta bios for x99
I too am on older bios 2101 with x99 but hasswell-e not broadwell-e
Weird.
He's had a lot of issues
He's on his 3rd processor and 2nd or 3rd board too

None of my previous issues were related to this.

Originally bought a 5820K. Upgraded to 1st 6950X and it was dead in 3 months (eBay CPU go figure) 2nd 6950X has been running fine now.

So blame all issues on end users while I just reported what I experienced. Still going through BSOD loop to get this mess fixed.

One point I have to kake issue with is InSpectre from GRC. When was the last time this little app got updated? Not recently as far as I know, unless some one can say otherwise. Based on this premise, InSpectre cannot give one a fair account of what kind of impact one will or can get after those news patches..

Hi and welcome to tenforums :)
If you don't have a system image and winpe recovery cd/ flash media not sure what to say
Personally scrub the ssd... and restore a system image to it

The updated microcode is written "that I've noticed" to hardware reserved memory not to the chip it will be whipped restoring an image.

Then go back to an older bios for good measure.

10 seems to only offer the update if one is using newer bios
I wasn't even offered the update I installed it manually.

Thanks for the info, but still April 11, 2018 is way far back considering all the changes (patches) that have occurred between then and now.

Hi,
The version posted shows if there is a new bios release the one I previously had did not.
April is just past the spectre 2-3 releases so it does or should take those into consideration
It's label slow or good is just a label read usage is about all one can use to see.

Benchmark test are the best way besides usage to see for ones self.

I can confirm that isn't necessarily the case. I got the update by manually checking for updates via WU. And my BIOS is dated 12/27/13(latest beta for MSI Z77 MPower).
