Unique BIOS protects X58 motherboards

 

Nehalem processors built into boards with LGA1366 sockets started 10 years ago, yet models that can be used to this day can be found here. The BIOS updates available at the links below will (in principle) protect you against Meltdown and Specter errors (CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5754) because they contain the latest microcode (0x1F - Westmere, 0x1D - Bloomfield), but it's okay to know that these are unfortunately unofficial versions, so no one is responsible for any problems!
 
ASRock

ASUS

EVGA

Gigabyte

MSI

Mixed
