Well, what a complete load of bullshizz. RS5 pretty much kills any overclocking at all on my board. Even XTU is fukced and wont work. What kind of stupid shizz is this?

Anyhow a *simple fix for now is to take ownership of mcupdate_genuineintel.dll rename it and replace it with an earlier version. I used a July version. Also set it to read only.

yeap.. intel microcode update did breaks my overclock .. (i'm also a bit skeptical after having wierd issue on my 2ndary system (i2600k/sabertooth z77 as DAW) since July (microcode update rollup on build 1709) having trouble with corsair platinum timing keep revert to native jedec spec. Bios changed did fix it but wont last to 2nd boot) ...i wonder if this related with the update even on SandyBridge.. 🙁 they really own us now

Why the hell using automatic updates anyway...I always use ms service to install very few that do not destroy stability/perf, and some drivers, then left it disabled to the end of the world...or system change. You wanna be safe, install good firewall...

Just found this update on my Ryzen 1600X system, WTF! Uninstalled and blocked. Feck off Microsoft!

Well as I understand, the fun with spectre/meltdown is when somebody has physical access to device and/or maybe by successful java script injection (but all browsers are patched already for that)

LOL oh man gotta love INTEL news lately. Time to sell that stock and rock an AMD.

Some of you up above missed something The mcupdate_genuineintel.dll is now integrated in RS5. If you update and you are affected there's no KB to remove. You have to use the simple procedure as outlined. Take ownership and replace with an earlier version. I used the one from July in SXS backup. Save a copy. Who knows when they will fix it or....patch this workaround...SMH...ha ha.

Yeah that KB does the same to my 6800k+R5E, OC 4.4 down to 3.6. I posted about this a couple weeks ago in the Intel section. I hope something is done prior to RS5 release cause the Microsoft rep I spoke to claimed it would fix it when it releases...

Brother in law has my previous 4.6 5820k chip paired with the MSI X99 Krait. Don't remember if it's the S or A one in case it matters.
Will check if he's affected(if update is installed that is) and report back.

Does this really affect Haswell-E?
I have 5820K and Asus X99-S mobo running 2101 bios. Update KB4100347 is installed on my system. My overclock is working just fine like it did for the last 3+ years. All cores go up to 4.4Ghz, I just tested.
