Perhaps you might want to consider updating your BOINC client.

My new main computer is compatible but I don't know if my tasks are really being processed with AVX-512. Also, how big is the speed bump compared to more regular instructions?

In late June there will be a windows version of the sievers using AVX-512. At the moment only the linux version is available.
