Please I need help with bios microcode update to support Xeon LGA 1366 CPU's, as least the X5650, X5670 and X5690 - pretty please?
MSI X58 Pro-E, AMI Bios 8.F - http://www.msi.com/support/mb/X58_ProE.html#down-bios
These Xeons work in the mainboard ( http://postimg.org/image/f9ka2hnl9/ ), but they are not recognized as Xeons during post/bios. I believe this could have get better, if the bios is updatedwith the LGA 1366 Xeons microcode & support, nope?
Alternative download links for the bios (unlocked options in AmiBCP 3.5, so pls use these links rather):

How hard this can be? As for the source donator of the bios, then a X58 chipset board that does support these Xeons are Supermicro X8SAX:

"Intel® Core™ i7 / i7 Extreme Edition, and Intel® Xeon® 5600/5500/3600/3500"
So, donator bios is there:

...and I can open it in AmiBCP, but... don't know what else to do. Pls help?
PS: for Windows 7 activation I saw a SLIC v2.1 mod for this X58 Pro-E mobo there:
But dunno, if that help anyone. I have legit Win7, so I don't need this. On top of that, I planing to use WinXP on this mobo
PS2: looks like using the MMTool v3.26 is possible to extract modules / replace modules in the bios:
However even extracting the bios logo is fun:
...I still have a hard time figuring out the CPU microcode support. It is the "P6 Micro Code"? And what about the CPU PATCH tab? And how to combine the P6 Micro Codes? I mean... the microcode on the MSI X58 Pro-E is bigger that the one on the Supermicro X8SAX... So even I can replace the MSI microcode with the Supermicro microcode, then I will actually remove some CPU support as the file from Supermicro is smaller...
Hmmm, anyone can help me there?
