Thanks, Iwagsz! For you HERO 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.

Anybody using 3401 BIOS that is suppose to fix security issue with hyper threading?

Diddo! Updated, but don't know how to test. I suppose I could rip a DVD to test as ripping uses hyperthreading, IIRC.I have 3401. no issues. not sure how to test hyper threading

The only concern I have, from what I've read on the subject, is that you don't know you have a problem until it's too late. So, better to be safe than sorry.Glade to hear BIOS upgrade works OK. I have no idea either how to test. I am still on 2202 also just because of the reasons you state but I would rather know BIOS up to date and use the fixes if necessary.
Thanks for the responses.
