I mean maybe i can find something like gf9400 gf8300 gf8200 gf6150 which one can be the best for microcode upgrade because wizzard says award bios is a tricky one.
if its a serious problem can you give me some tools and i try to make myself.
Thank You

CPU upgrading doesn't really have tools besides CBROM and a feel for the BIOS. Really though, i don't think this will be able to boot a different core type, but Ill compile something and see what we get. First though, you have to find an nf3 board with an award bios that supports it.

Hello,
i find a zotac motherboard with gf8200 chipset which supports most of the new cpu`s and uses award bios.
is it possible to try with this (i mean if i not fail the gf8200 not too far from nf3 chip except the vga part).
I hope the system not trick me and i not will be able to upload the bios here.
http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-gf8200-a-e...board.html
here is the webpage.
There is a gf6100 with some phenom support on im interested also but the difference against nf3 is same like huge, if i not fail i remember that big changes coming after nf3 chip because of the cpu socket change and multi gpu support.

I need to change anything else then the AGESA module?
05-23-2010, 12:33 PM
Oh this is most interesting. The Zotac is a great candidate but it uses MEMINIT,s o if we rip the AGESA from the zotac then it would look for MEMINIT and most likely corrupt (not sure)
as for the gigabyte it does use the traditional AGESA/Microcode so we may have more luck using that.
I think I will try compiling something from this soon.

I think i can do the job alone but u have right the zotac ones is more tricky...
Hard is this things, but i look forward to make this things before 1st of july
Thank Your help

I checked for a new Gygabyte candidate, i found one with phenom II x6 support also, but near the AGESA i find the meminit module also.
Please check it maybe we can use it like starting point, anyway im interested to learn a bit from this modding so can u help me?

Hey,
it looks like i made a great pass forward, i succesfully cuted out the NCPUCODE.BIN form the M52 motherboard bios. I think with this we can
make any other system bios (award only) the recognize the newest CPUs from AMD.
I put it here.
Im looking forward to your help.

Heres the bios with updated microcode posted above.
