I have exactly the same problem with date changing randomly after resuming from sleep mode. Have anyone managed to solve it? Is there any feedback from ASRock support?

Hello. My new Asock motherboard J3455M 2 PCI-e x1 slots does not works with my wifi card. Only PCI-e x16 slot is working. The wifi card was checked on another computer successfully working.
What may be a problem?
The board was bought from newegg and they do not have anymore to replace.

Hello. Maybe it is posible: the wifi PCI-E card is intel 8265-based Fenvi 8802. I upgradedbios to a newest ver 1.40. Is it possible that Intel8265 do not works with this motherboard?

Dear ASRock TSD,
I have tried both P1.20 and P1.30 on this board (J3455B-ITX). I see the VT-d option in the BIOS and enable it. However when I passthrough a device in ESXI, VT-d does not appear to properly apply. I have tried both ESXI 6.0 an 6.5.
What can I do to get VT-d to properly work on this board?

Some interesting news here -- I heard back from ASRock support tonight, and here is the message:
============================================
From: Support [mailto:pablomedina@asrockamerica.com] Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2018 7:51 PM To: <redacted> Subject: RE: $X299 TAICHI/A/ASRK$ Unable to update to Intel ME11.8.50.3425 (United States)
check the information below if your motherboard chipset iseffected
Intel released the newer ME version to fix the security bugrecently.
The models 100/200/300 could be updated ME firmware by MEtool directly.
Please be noted that there are two different ME type for ourmodels.
I replied and said that I had already tried running that Consumer ME patch version per my original message. What is interesting, however, is that support said that the consumer ME patch only supports these chipsets:
1. Consumer ME
Chipset: Z170, Z270, H110, B250, H270, Z370
I replied and asked if they know if and when a version of the patch for the X299 chipset, which is what my motherboard uses, will be available.
So this explains why the patch doesn't work with our X299 boards: the patch doesn't support that chipset. Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view. Hopefully ASRock will make an X299 version of the ME firmware patch available soon.

I'm interested on this also. I have P67 Extreme6 with overclocked 2500k on it. I know this is an old system, nearly seven years now. But it is still a perfectly functional machine even for gaming.
I'm doubtful that any manufacturer would support so old hardware. I't the same thing with all consumer electronics these days. It's not planned obsolescence but rather obsolescence by negligence and insecurity.

Please note that Meltdown and Spectre variant 1 cannot - according to current knowledge - be fixed with a microcode update. According to The Register, Skylake and later CPUs will receive a microcode update to counter the Spectre variant 2 (which requires kernel countermeasures as well), but I don't know if that's actually necessary or if it only makes the performance impact of the kernel countermeasures smaller.
In any case, hopefully ASRock will be able to provide all available updates to those affected.

I already posted this to the other thread, but here goes:

Hi all,
So I just updated my Intel ME through this webpage, using ME1 package (My motherboard ASRock B150M-HDS is not on the list).
After updating and restarting my computer, now when I run the INTEL-SA-00086 Detection Tool I get, apart from the "This system is not vulnerable. It has already been patched." message, this one too:
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
What I sould do? Thanks in advance for any helpful answer!
