Thank you very much for contacting the Intel® Communities Team, Franckpro.

 

 

Allow me to share with you that the Ashampoo Specter CPU Checker is not developed by Intel®, we do not know what this software is checking specifically. Please get in touch with the developer of this software so you can double check why the application is triggering this alert. Please keep in mind that the fix for this issue was provided by a firmware update, please get in touch with your system manufacturer so you can perform a BIOS Update for your system.
