Nope. Never heard of that option. Maybe pastrychef knows and can provide an answer.Does anyone know how to disable "Wake on USB" on Gene?
Thanks, Iwagsz! For you GENE motherboard owners with Skylake and Kaby Lake Hyper Threading processors (typically, the i7 series), you should update your BIOS to the latest version, according to the article linked above.From what I read at one of the tech sites was that all MB manufacturers April updates included the hyper thread fix. Just asking and I don't know.

Reference:We have already identified this issue and addressed it with a fix that started rolling out in April 2017. As always, we recommend checking to make sure your BIOS is up to date, but the chance of encountering this issue is low, as it requires a complex number of concurrent micro-architectural conditions to reproduce.
Guys, I need to build a new hack (with same H/W specs I have on my ASUS Z170M-Plus), and would try the Maximus VIII GENE.
I was wondering if this motherboard has same nasty bios issues as mine (I did tested 2 mobo so far, with same results):
if I do a system update (sometimes updating clover partition) or a system crash occur, the BIOS (2 times out of 3) enters in a boot loop state (power on and than auto power off), and the only way to fix it is to reset the CMOS, and re-enter all the settings.
Does the GENE have same nasty behavior?
This damned "bug" is annoying. I had to put 2 wires and a button because I can't open the case every month to trigger the reset CMOS switch....
