Just a quick question /g/ents because I'm not well versed enough on the topic and I'm curious on the matter:
TSX shows on CPU-Z, but is it truly disabled? I'm aware that it's prone to errors and it was subsequently disabled via a microcode update by Intel, but I'm using the official chipset 10.1.1.7 from the mobos website and had a BIOS update early 2016 -
Question is, is there any chance TSX would for any reason be activated on this CPU?

What is the numbers of the microcode update? Its entirely possible your mobo manufacturer did not update the microcode. Its not a problem unless you run tsx programs, which you don't.

sure, I won't use it but it's more a matter of principle in having a chip setup correctly.
I only found a linux update on intels website

It's strange isn't it since it's the highest end model of the chipset from the manufacturer; you'd recommend checking with them directly then, alright.

bump, I'm showing a xeon pcie controller in device manager; I'd presume it's a common occurence and not an indicator of having TSX enabled or disabled
