Interestingly, there is a microcode with the same date and version (917DC5C4).

Didn’t check thoroughly, Sorry if it’s an old one?

To my knowledge, there are no other public. At least one that someone has found.

Yeap, correct observation. A big issue with AMD is that microcode blobs don’t have an end user-verifiable checksum or hash. Thus, any corruption can manifest as a new (valid) blob.

@lfb6 Do you remember the source of this particular blob? Maybe bad extraction of the original BIOS image or similar can be identified.

I was able to (re-)find the currently known blob here, for instance:

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/BIOS/Pro-WS-TRX50-SAGE-WIFI-ASUS-0701.zip?model=Pro%20WS%20TRX50-SAGE%20WIFI

From LVFS, so there’s much Dell, HP or Lenovo. Traveling now, so not able to look it up, I’m sorry!

Since cpu00A10F81_ver0A108105_2023-07-11_4E0DC6A8 is not in the database, I assume it’s classified as junk, right?

You mean the one posted by lfb6 last week? I cannot verify if it’s correct or where it came from (to check if anything went wrong while extracting it). I did download all recent LVFS packages from that day (from 23rd to 29th I believe, only the last 50 are listed easily by LVFS) and I could not find this particular blob. On the other hand, I can verify that the pre-existing cpu00A10F81_ver0A108105 can be found in many other BIOS from multiple vendors, so I have to assume that it’s the correct/expected one.

My recollection is that Intel promised that particular microcode by mid-August, and this is 18 July. And after 18 July, they said that they did not know what the root cause was at all. So it is suspicious to me. But I’m not surprised by anything to do with Intel anymore.
Although, it’s also true that this statement is from the 22nd, and here it’s written as a fact what the root cause is. Which means that the patched microcode could have been ready on the 18th.

Thank you for releasing this, Can’t thank you enough for your work you are doing.

I just wanted to let you know that I copy & pasted your quote to ASUS forums related to 0x129 ucode not being the Intel’s promised fix for the sake of increasing awareness & public knowledge & ofc by making sure that I’m not the one who said it :slight_smile:

Again, thank you!

18th July? What do you mean? Microcode date?
This micro ode is the solution for intel CPU crash problems. this is what intel said

@pipes80

This seems to have been misunderstood by a large proportion of users. Intel may not have communicated it properly, but the point is this: there are two classes of processors in terms of failure. One that contains the ones that have already failed (hardware-wise), and the other that contains the ones that have the potential to fail. The microcode update can only be a solution for the latter, not for the former! RMA is the only solution for the former. This should be understood and acknowledged by all users.

not in my case but i’ll like to know where these cpu’s fail

Addressing Manufacturing Speculation on Intel Core 13th/14th Gen Desktop Processors - Intel Community

The “Fixes”…
Microcode (0x129) Update for Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen Desktop Processors - Intel Community →

"In addition to extended warranty coverage, Intel has released three mitigations related to the instability issue – commonly experienced as consistent application crashes and repeated hangs – to help stabilize customer systems with Intel Core 13th and 14th gen desktop processors:

  1. Intel default settings to avoid elevated power delivery impact to the processor (May 2024)
  2. Microcode 0x125 to fix the eTVB issue in i9 processors (June 2024)
  3. Microcode 0x129 to address elevated voltages (August 2024)"

The “Affected”…
Additional Warranty Updates on Intel Core 13th/14th Gen Desktop Processors - Intel Community

Further and deep reading into the subject, follow the same user statements on Intel forum.

And that’s it…any further releases its mcode based “fix” nothing more it can be done as they were already built and in circulation, my POV only.
