Hello!
Trying to update my trusty test lab motherboard from i7 920 to X5680 failed because I didn't check CPU compatibility before ordering, getting a black screen.
Motherboard is ASUS P6X58 E WS and I have the latest BIOS flashed 301.
Through Google and asking around in other forums, closer I got is read the cpu microcodes from the BIOS and indeed it reports 3 platforms for 206C2 which is according to ASUS Website: X5650, X5675 and x5690.
It is an AMI BIOS but I can't figure out how to add the latest 206C2 microcodes and UEFI Tool reports "parse: not a single Volume Top File is found, the image may be corrupted" when loading the BIOS even though I can see the structure in the UEFI Image.
Tried on my own but I just know I'll do something wrong, so can anyone add support for X5680?
BIOS is here Asus P6X58-E WS BIOS V.301 and I'm attaching it as well.
I'm also attaching the extracted microcodes from MC Extract (7kb) and the latest 206C2 microcodes from github (11KB) if it helps.
Thanks!
