CPU microcode removal request: Gigabyte EP45T-Extreme

[Luumi]

I would request someone with Award bios tool to remove Wolfdale cpu (E8200-E8700, especially E8400 and E8500) microcodes from Gigabyte GA-EP45T-Extreme bios F5i bios for my project. Download link to F5i bios: http://download.gigabyte.asia/FileList/B...me_f5i.exe

Bios Version: F5i

With the cpu microcodes removed the cpus still work fine in the board, it gives unknown cpu error or similar but performance is actually faster in some scenarios. I have tested this a lot with Rampage Extreme and wolfdale cpus.

To delete all microcodes make empty file NCPUCODE.BIN and run:

Code:

attrib +R NCPUCODE.BIN
CBROM196 EP45TEX.F5I /nc_cpucode NCPUCODE.BIN

I don't have the award bios tool, can you do that for me? I only need the wolfdale based cpus gone from the F5i so pretty much E8400-E8700.

You can do it by yourself.

For some reason it is not doing it correctly, i made empty .bin with fsutil create new approx 1kb sized file then did the commands you told but the microcodes dont seem to be removed from the .F5i bios file.
