AIDA64 is not showing any differences if you are running it on 6600K or 6700K. It uses cores, not HT. I have about the same results on both CPUs. Have to use something else for comparison. Geekbench is free and is showing memory bandwidth in multithreading environment.
I haven't noticed they released any bios with skylake bug fix. I mean there is no info in log so how do you know they actually fixed it ?
I will only say that ASUS had last BIOS releases ready before anyone knew about that skylake bug. It's actually adding support for new low power CPUs. It was mentioned ... in December in 13.xx release for Hero, Gene and some other boards.
Info from BIOS released 28 Dec:
MAXIMUS VIII HERO BIOS 1302
1. Improve system stability
2. Support 6th Gen Intel® Core™ i3-6098P and i5-6402P processors
*Full support of the new CPU requires BIOS version 1402 or later, and VGA driver version 20.19.15.4285 or later
1402 was released 19 Jan.
