DZ77RE-75K BIOS Update - SPECTRE & MELTDOWN

[GMest]

I understand DZ77RE-75K desktop board support has been discontinued and the last BIOS 0066 available

for this platform is of May 2013 but given the recent security revelations re "Spectre & Meltdown" will INTEL

consider releasing an updated BIOS ? I am using this with a i7-3770K btw.

Thank you for your reply Anthony however generalised it reads at this moment. I do hope that we will see some movement on an updated BIOS

incorporating newly released microcodes such as the published on 8 January 2018 and other possible fixes in MEngine for older CPU's like

my i7-3770K related to SPECTRE and MELTDOWN very soon.
