Hey Guys!

I m new to this forum.
I have IBM 8114 Board with D945G chipset having LGA 775 socket but unfortunately it is restricted to Pentium 4's and Pentium D's only. I have tried many times to inject microcodes for CPUID=6fd and 6f2 using cbrom but failed all the time, because cbrom doesn't even show BIOS info it just hangs....!

Can anyone mod my BIOS with these two microcodes and sent it to me please??

Thank You so much genius239!!

genius239 can you tell me what software r u using for adding microcodes plz??? and also send me the link for that software with tutorials on how to use that software plz... bcoz i m having one more problem dude. u have added microcodes for cpuid 6f2 and 6fd but i also need to add these microcodes also:
1.F44 or F65 for pentium d (don't know which one)
2.6F4.
3.6F5
4.6F6

hey guys!
i have a n IBM 8114 with 945G chipset. It only supports P4's and Pentium D's. So i Added microcodes for dual cores and core 2 duos using HeX Editor, successfully flashed bios but still the situation is same i.e it do not support dual cores and core 2 duos i have tested both. so what could be the problem????

one more thing to ask i used WinPhlash to flash my BIOS, is there something special setting in WinPhlash for new microcodes added BIOS??

help would be appreciated

Make sure the CPUs are listed here:

Also, it would help to upload the original and modified versions.

Have you tried a CMOS reset? If you upload the files before and after any mods, someone may be able to verify the work.
