ASUS RAMPAGE III EXTREME BIOS - V1601 - Updated OROM MOD

[pir8man]

Hello @pir8man,

Thank you so much for your guidance and efforts, doing all this work!

There is another thread over at Techpowerup specifically focused on mitigating BIOS for the Spectra vulnerabilities, here: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threa...ds.246101/

Have you some how synchronized the Spectre fixing the same way @Regeneration have done over there? 
Basically, the question is: what BIOS to use if I want:
1) the Spectre fixes with protection from speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5754).
2) use 2 SSDs in RAID 0 with trim as boot drive (C: )
3) use CPU = Xeon W3690 
4) use IEEE 1394 
5) use JMicron JMB36X for additional drives
6) use INTEL 82567V-2 for network
7) optionally use: Marvell 91xx
8) use windows 10 latest version x64

From what I can read (I've read the whole thread), it seams like S22t or s22 is best. Should I place my bet on S22t or is @Regeneration applying broader Spectre protection (if you know)?
Xeon W3690 is a Gulftown CPU (CPUID 206C2) but it does not show as covered (it shows as stopped) in the intel documentation: https://newsroom.intel.com/wp-content/up...idance.pdf.
Thank you once again for you support, time and effort!

@Regeneration is applying the same microcode updates that I have.
The last microcode update for the 206C2 is this one: cpu206C2_plat03_ver0000001F_2018-05-08_PRD_77DADA73

S22i would be the choice if you are running Windows10 with Intel SATA in AHCI mode (or ANY other OS/Intel-SATA combination)
S22 would be the choice if you run Windows10 with Intel SATA in RAID mode
S22t should be used if S22 or S22i failed to fit the OROMs you enabled (NEED) into the limited 1MB BIOS memory space.
