I don’t mean to double post, but thought it was worth explaining the bios modification efforts attempted thus far. In short, I’m following guides in detail - but no cigar. The mods appear to take, but CPU microcode version remains locked at the same version 43. See picture below. Any tips?

Work completed thus far:
1. Followed this guide here: [GUIDE] Haswell-E/EP Xeon CPUID:306F2 Turbo Unlock
2. Removed two microcode references from bios
3. Deleted their contents as described in the guide
4. Ran UBUTool to rename
5. Flashed bios using USB flashback
6. Motherboard correctly reported a change in bios, and prompted me to hit F1 to restore defaults
7. Within the bios, and within Windows, Microcode shows no change (still revision 43).
Any pointers?
------------------------------------
I am pulling my hair out trying to unlock all core turbo. I’ve tried all the guides that I can find, and spent a whole 12 hours today fumbling around.
I am offering a $10/$15 bounty to whomever can help get all core turbo on my system - guidelines below. This is hard work, so if someone is willing to help out then I think it’s only right to pay for his/her next beer, coffee or lunch.
1. Only one person can collect (whomever first sends the working bios file gets $10)
2. Paid over paypal or venmo
3. Needs to unlock all cores
4. Happy to help or provide more information (I have an EE degree, but am outgunned here)
5. $5 bonus if delivered tomorrow, September 10, 2020 (for a total of $15)
6. Offer expires in two months (November 9, 2020)
Anyone can win, but I am flagging down a few folks that seemed most knowledgeable about my motherboard: @raun0 @Lost_N_BIOS and @jordanpchome
Again, this is my way of admitting defeat and saying thanks to those that help.
