Sylar76 what is OROM?

OROM = Option ROM (like LAN/SATA for example).

Be warned: The Spectre CPU firmware updates will affect your PC’s performance, though it varies wildly depending on your hardware, operating system, and tasks at hand. In general, expect processors older than Skylake to suffer a larger performance hit, especially if you’re on Windows 7 or 8.

IMHO I never had any issues at all with 3A microcodes and any Windows 10 version (Anniversary, Redstone 2/3 and 4), so I don't bother about meltdown/spectre security breaches. The most important thing is how a PC is used.

please mod the R5E10 bios as well.

Hey All, I was going to be doing a wipe/reinstall of Windows 10 and was going to do a BIOS update as well from 3801 to the 3902 possibly....but was wondering if the microcode issue has been resolved yet?

After reading about one of the microcode updates from Intel to fix the spectre issue was slowing some systems down...... I was thinking it might be better to wait. Has this been resolved or are people just avoiding this by using an older microcode (3A?)

Hi folks,

Watch this:

If you fix the threat there will be slowdowns. In the future there will be not fix for slowdowns.

Shit happens, this is the situation.

Sylar76.....which microcode are you using with BIOS 3902? I am wanting to setup a 3902 with a microcode that does not affect my performance. Would that be 3A or 3B? 3C is the one that causes the performance issues right?

3902 from Asus (as well the R5E Edition 10 one) uses latest Intel microcodes which fix meltdown/spectre security breaches but cause performance drops.

This is the main difference between the beta bios and the 3802. But if you need 3902 with 3A microcodes, it is better to use 3802.

Yep, it seems to slow it down. Will try to measure how much. Maybe the latest kernel could resolve this problem. Also it seems strange to me, as Windows updates uCode on startup (if i remember correctly). So why updated uCode in BIOS causes slow-downs...
