Asus Motherboard Bios Update - Mining Rig Maintenance
Today I updated the motherboard bios in each of my mining rigs. It took a while since all the rigs are headless. I had to plug a monitor, keyboard and mouse into each one to do the update. Fortunately every motherboard is the same which made the process a little bit easier.
The motherboards are Asus Prime Z270-A and I went from bios version 1009 to 1253. Included in the new version is "Update CPU MicroCode" which I assume is a fix for the the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs. I probably would've skipped version 1253 if not for that particular update since none of the other fixes/updates mentioned in the change log seemed necessary for my setup.
