Updated BIOS for this venerable but still nimble Asus P6T with updates for Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities.
Flashed this today and my Xeon X5680 is humming along nicely @ 4.625Ghz rock stable.
Upgraded to H110i GTX Corsair watercooler on the cpu, and an LSI 9271-8i RAID card to run the four Samsung 850 EVOs in RAID5.
Enjoy up to date performance with a steady daily driver workhorse…!
Cheers
