Bios 3703

[acerzr2]

I am running on the Maximus VIII hero alpha. In regards to the specter/meltdown security issue,
if I update my management engine driver and run the update tool, am I safe with 3504 BIOS, or am I not fully
safe until ASUS releases the 3703 BIOS?

Please Asus fix the Bios file of Asus Maximus VIII Hero.

Just as an update ... I downloaded file from this site, renamed it M8H.cap and installed on my Maximus Hero VIII. All is running well !

The servers must be replicating the change.
I had to edit the download link file name and remove the "alpha" string:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/MAXIMUS_VIII_HERO/MAXIMUS-VIII-HERO-ASUS-3703.zip

Yesterday MAXIMUS-VIII-HERO-ASUS-3703.zip wasn't there but now it downlods.
I'm going to try it now.

Thanks for the info, I will also try it, what is the version and the link of the official page that you have looked?, In which I look for the Alpha version continues: https://www.asus.com/es/ Motherboards / MAXIMUS-VIII-HERO / HelpDesk_Download /

Yes it works.
The new bios 3703 has new intel microcode version (C2 for my skylake 6600K CPU).
I loaded my XMP 3200 Mhz and 4.5Ghz OC and boots well, ill test it for stability l8tr.

With the previous bios and after microsoft meltdown update I started to have some random crashs in games I never had before.
I can't say for sure the update was the problem, let's see how it goes now with the new microcode.

Can't wait to get home tonight:D*
