And it's sure a hassle needing to fudge with the OS to get around this. Other vendors are patching their X99 products. Lets go. It's been months.

Hello,
 
If I am not mistaken, you are referring to the microcode? There was a BIOS update in April for the X99 FTW K that addressed this: https://www.evga.com/support/download/showdlinfo.aspx?id=15431&type=N&acctype=BIOS&accversion=2.05&part_number=151-BE-E097
 
Hopefully this is what you were looking for!

Yes, ucode = μcode = microcode.

I don't know which specific update he is requesting either. It's very cryptic due to complete lack of details.

Probably the new vulnerabilities that have been found after the Spectre/Meltdown one. IIRC, they were similar to them.

It is about not being able to Overclock on the Broadwell E CPU on the X99 FTW K Motherboard under the Prerelease Version of Windows 10 1809.
So hey...any chance of a fix for Windows RS5 KILLING ALL OVERCLOCKING ON X99?
Maybe
Broadwell-E users intel microcode update KB4100347 kills Broadwell-E overclock
 
It is not an issue on the Haswell-E CPU on the X99 FTW K Motherboard running the RTM version of Windows 10 1809.

Yes, since it isn't an issue with the RTM version of 1809, I wrote it off as not the reason for his request 23 hours ago. So what is his request? Is it for spectre/meltdown protection? No, that microcode update was already released by EVGA. So, again, what is his request? It is a mystery.

That's what I did. My response to you was to show that your input was not helpful in answering that question.

Of course not. I'm already running 2.05. Why would I be looking for an old BIOS update when I am specifically asking for the ucode update to address the latest issue of overclocking being disabled via in OS ucode update by intel? They ARE INCOMPATIBLE. Holy cow....you must know of this issue.
