I have been just doing that and did find exact results for the motherboard but no mention of updates. My system was a custom build originally and after the power supply blew this past spring the MB had to be replaced...so Intel replaced my long time use of AMD..I wonder how those who are vulnerable will be informed when there is a download available?

Does this help?

By the way, some PC owners, those with "Off the shelf" PCs, like laptops, workstations, and so on, might not even get the needed BIOS update.

A good example, my Lenovo H530, that originally came with Windows 8.1, hasn't had a BIOS/UEFI update since NOV 17th, 2016, and most drivers hav't been updated(from Lenovo) in there last 2 years either.
So don't be surprised if the OEMs have stopped supporting your equipment.

If it's a custom PC, you need to go to mobos page, or wait, and see in the motherboard manufacture sends an update.
It can take some time, as the OEMs need to add the fix to the BIOS, and also their certificate, for every affected motherboard, and the takes time.

Is that what I'm waiting for? Dell to issue a BIOS update for this box? Currently on BIOS 1.0.10.0. Checked Dell site and nothing new. Is it the BIOS only, or something else also. Yes, I ran the tool.
