Hey everyone,
I just pulled this M90p out of storage that I tried myself to update the microcode a few years ago. I know these machines support the 4 core, 8 threaded xeons from both a friend's pc as well as various online sources, but I had a strange issue when I tried myself. (I assume this is due to my own error since it was my first time).
I tried to add support for an X3470. At first it wouldn't boot with it or recognize it, but after trying myself it now boots, but recognizes as a i5-650 (the cpu in the system beforehand, which it came with). It's running with only two cores, at 3.2 ghz.
Can someone give me a bios update with support for all of the LGA 1156 Xeons? I don't have time to fiddle with it myself at the moment.
Thanks as always, information below.

Please let me know if photos of the cpu are required for the stepping or anything else.
