Asus m5a87 cpu e2 module microcode update

---

hi i have updated misc.rom and ahci raid rom etc, realtek lan
but i have tried to do a mod by my self since e2 module contains cpu microcode
its old non uefi ami bios
but i had no luck, my cpu runs fine but if i update the microcode for the current microcodes that is in the bios
since there are newer codes out there..
crash free bios kicks in when i flash new e2 module
latest asus bios update 2013
i will attach my modded bios if someone can continue with that one
i have seen other posts with sucess

my current system is fx8320@4ghz 1866memory in raid win 11

Do Load Defaults in BIOS, save and reboot.

Current BIOS has suitable microcode with 0x0600081C version, but Windows update it to 0x06000852 version.
So you don't need to update microcode in BIOS.

Other OS have the module for update microcode too.
