BTW, there broken link to the <b>microdecode</b> tool, so i have to attached it.<br>

<br>

So, there are two different ways, depends on your BIOS type (Award or AMI):<br><br><a class="spoiler-link H-spoiler-toggle" href="#"><strong>How to update cpucodes in the Award BIOS:</strong> <span class="spoiler-help">(Click to show)</span></a><div class="spoiler-hidden">

<ol class="bbcode_list"><li>Create a blank file "ncpucode.bin"

<div class="bbcode_code">

<div class="bbcode_code_head">Code:</div>

<pre>

<code>type NUL > NCPUCODE.BIN</code>

</pre></div>

</li>

<li>Extract the existing cpucodes from the BIOS image:

<div class="bbcode_code">

<div class="bbcode_code_head">Code:</div>

<pre>

<code>cbrom195.exe BIOS.BIN /nc_cpucode NCPUCODE.BIN</code>

</pre></div>

</li>

<li>Merge existing and the new cpucodes:

<div class="bbcode_code">

<div class="bbcode_code_head">Code:</div>

<pre>

<code>copy /b ncpucode.bin + cpu00010676_plat00000004_ver0000060f_date20100929.bin + cpu00010676_plat00000040_ver0000060f_date20100929.bin + cpu0001067a_plat00000044_ver00000a0b_date20100928.bin ncpucode.bin</code>

</pre></div>

</li>

<li>Make it "read-only" to prevent from deletion after the update is complete:

<div class="bbcode_code">

<div class="bbcode_code_head">Code:</div>

<pre>

<code>attrib +R ncpucode.bin</code>

</pre></div>

</li>

<li>Update the BIOS image with the new cpucodes:

<div class="bbcode_code">

<div class="bbcode_code_head">Code:</div>

<pre>

<code>cbrom195.exe BIOS.BIN /nc_cpucode NCPUCODE.BIN</code>

</pre></div>

</li>

<li>Double check that cpucodes have been added:

<div class="bbcode_code">

<div class="bbcode_code_head">Code:</div>

<pre>

<code>intelmicrocodelist.exe BIOS.BIN</code>

</pre></div>

At the end of the output you should find the following lines:

<div class="bbcode_code">

<div class="bbcode_code_head">Code:</div>

<pre>

<code>CPUID=10676 UpdateRev=60F 2010/09/29 Checksum=8FE1A243 PlatformID=2

CPUID=10676 UpdateRev=60F 2010/09/29 Checksum=8FE1A207 PlatformID=6

CPUID=1067A UpdateRev=A0B 2010/09/28 Checksum=B007E7B0 PlatformID=2,6</code>

</pre></div>

Also, you may use cbrom to ensure that cpucodes have been successfully added:

<div class="bbcode_code">

<div class="bbcode_code_head">Code:</div>

<pre>

<code>cbrom195.exe BIOS.BIN /D</code>

</pre></div>

</li>

<li>Now flash modified BIOS image and you're done!</li>

</ol></div>
