I’m sorry mate but I don’t follow a specific guide. What I can suggest you is to choose a microcode you don’t use it and replace it with the one you want to use (i.e. the Xeon for example). This can be done extracting with UefiTool NE A51 the Microcode body file, editing with an Hex editor, and replacing. Then you have to fix FIT opening the whole bios with UefiTool NE and take care of the lenght of each specific CPU Microcode, in order to fix hex values of the FIT itself.
It seems complicated but it’s more easier to see than to do.
@JanCerny - here is BIOS with updated microcodes (@ ALL x4) - rest you can update with UBU. You mentioned vBIOS, you have to transfer settings first from old vBIOS to new vBIOS
@Lost_N_BIOS Thank you! edit: I just update VBIOS and EFI GOP. ‘vbioshsw.dat’ and 'vbthsw.ffs files are extracted from ASRock H97 Anniversary. This guide from @SoniX was helpfull (ASRock motherboard owners, please read note “OROM VBIOS 2166”).

It seems, according to UBU log, that you’ve already added 40671 microcode or am I wrong ?
Anyway, after extracted microcode file, you have to insert/replace new microcodes via hex editing (I suggest you WinHEX) and fix length with the help of Uefi Tool NE Alpha.
Yes, @Sylar76 , I added the ucode for him on previous page. I think he was asking you for in-depth guidance on how to do manually (The hex and FIT correction I assume), in case he want’s to do later or re-do himself now and not use the file I posted I posted links about FIT correction on my reply on previous page, maybe he missed those?
Good eye, but he posted that first image and question to you by itself, long time before editing and adding second image and note to me. I assume first was original BIOS, then second image my BIOS mod later when the post was edited. Yes, this is it, I just checked and see it’s all old versions so this is why it looks strange. BIOS is fine, check the file on previous page. No need for removing one code to add another in this instance.
I need to flash the new micro-codes for my z97 asrock anniversary. I used the latest ubu tool 1.70 rc3 without mtool because it not needs it. Is this OK?

With the new UBU 1.70 rc3 (instead of rc1) it correctly detects this very same BIOS as UEFI capable and lets me update the included ROMs. So this was really a problem with UBU 1.70 rc1?
I am trying again to update the bios of a Z97 motherboard and I am looking for the latest vbios/bsf files. I am also a little confused about the procedure that I need to follow. Can anyone help?
I cannot understand in my asrock z97 if i use mtool it says no enough space… if i use the new uefi replace i take mCode GUID: patchVtf: PEI Core entry point can’t be found in VTF. VTF not patched. So i am stuck…
i used UBU to modify a BIOS for my HP 3520 aio desktop pc, modified seems to be ok, but when i try to load with safuwin update procedure not start. if i test bios file with same safuwin all controlls are passed done. Why?
