Browsing for Skylake 6700K information, I found out there was a freezing bug in this processor, found people doing tests with Prime95, and acknowledged by Intel. The Intel fix was released through BIOS updates.
Is it possible to know if any Motherboard model (or even currently shipping 6700Ks) ship with a BIOS version that includes the bugfix?
I know this bug supposedly happens only under extreme loads and rare conditions, but I usually do number crunching, and I don't like the idea of buying a new box that could freeze even if it's under "rare" conditions, so I'd like to get a 6700K and Motherboard with the fix already applied.
