Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L: Xeon Support

[DeathBringer]

Current BIOS hasn't microcode for this CPU, but Windows load it.
Everything seems OK.

So can I leave this as it is without those microcode updates??

As you wish.
You can try to flash IdeaFix's mod or genius239's mod.

I have a Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L motherboard with the latest F10a bios installed,but my Core 2 Quad Q9400 cpu is running at 2ghz,even when under load.I tried disabling Intel EIST (Speedstep) and C1E (cpu enhanced halt) and i also tried to manually set the multiplier to 8 in bios,but after i save,it just returns back to 6.Is this a bios glitch or no? I tried to underclock the CPU and it works,but it won't go past 2ghz.The ram is overclocked to 800mhz,but i can't overclock the cpu or change it's multiplier
Can somebody help me?

Post screenshots of first (CPU) & third (Mainboard) tabs of CPU-Z with current CPU.
Tell sSpec of your Q9400.

Do Load Defaults in BIOS.
Make a screenshot of HWMonitor with full CPU load.

I tried to load bios defaults,but it just returns back to 6 after i save,and i tried to clear cmos as well but it didn't work

Also I need TXT report of CPU-Z.
