That would be much appreciated by the Forum visitors. Please write your guide directly into >this< Sub-Forum and give the thread a meaningful title like "[Guide] How to manually update the Intel CPU Microcode".

You should put all these files into 1 single *.ZIP or *.RAR archive and attach it to your guide.

Perfect! Thanks! I also have a Haswell CPU :slight_smile:

Latest microcode for Haswell is : cpu000306C3_plat32_ver00000021_date#10-05-2016

Available from UBU package.

Hi Fernando, I am looking to add microcode for the Intel Xeon W3680 into the latest bios for two Gigabyte motherboards GA-EX58-UD5, and GA-EX58-UD4P. Both have support for the W3690, but not the W3680 so I can replace if there isn’t space to add. Is there an appropriate tool and source for the appropriate microcode files somewhere in your forum? If I am in the wrong place, can you give me a pointer?

Thanks!
David

@David359 :
Since I am not an expert regarding how to update/customize the CPU microcode, I cannot really help you.
Why don’t you try it by using the UBU tool (after having added the required AMI Aptio V MMTool)?

@David359 & @Fernando
You’ve got no UEFI-BIOS, so there no chance to use UBU tool.

Both are Award Dual-BIOS. There is no special tool to do the changes. I do it with HxD.
When you look @ Intel website of W3680, then you’ll find the actual Linux CPU MC Database.
Then you need program ‘microdecode.exe microcode.dat’ to decompress the MCs from linux-db.

After c’n’p the microcodes you’ll have to create the new checksum for the whole BIOS-file with CBROM.
If you want to update some option-ROMs, then do it with CBROM like in this tutorial.

I can do it for you, if you don’t wanna find out, how-to-do. If I should do so, give me please the BIOSes.
I’ve done it succesfully with two BIOS of S.775 Gigabyte mainboard in the last week.
I’m owning a Xeon E5450 S.771 and putted it with a special adapter in the S.775 board.

Best regards, MiMo

Anyone know by chance what the latest Kaby Lake microcode is.



LGA 1151?
or X299?

1151 is cpu000506E3_plat36_ver000000BA_date09-04-2017

Latest Kabylake is cpu000906E9_plat2A_ver00000070_date09-08-2017; latest Skylake is cpu000506E3_plat36_ver000000BE_date2017-08-20

Are there any public or non public changelogs or at least some vague Information about it?
