CBROM failed on me. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

CBROM don't help because it's Phoenix BIOS (New style).
Microcode in _C00.PEI module.

Hi there, thanks for quick reply.

So is there CBROM or other tool that can inject new microcode into "New style phoenix bios"?

And what about the microcode _C00.PEI? What does that mean?

Thank you.

PhoenixTool can help.
BIOS consist of some modules. _C00.PEI is name of the module with the microcode.
You can try my mod of BIOS.

Hi there,
can you be more specific how can I add microcode to WPH bios with the Pheonixtool? It can read the new style bios, but not sure what to do next.

"My mod of BIOS" - what was changed? Did you add the microcode for E5450?

Sorry, but I'm not a tutor. Adding microcode looks like changing a logo - http://donovan6000.blogspot.ru/2013/06/i...-logo.html
In my mod I've updated microcode for E5450 to A0B version, as you asked.

Thanks for the modded BIOS! I've flashed it, however it seems as if nothing changed.

Can you boot in Windows?
Make & post a screenshot of regedit with expanded key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0
P.S. I think it isn't microcode problem.

No windows for now, but I can live boot fedora, if that would help. But with E5450 CPU I won't get past POST, so only thing I could take screenshot of would be of other CPU.

What do you mean by "not microcode problem"? Whitelisting?

[DeathBringer]

Post a result of /proc/cpuinfo
"not microcode problem" because the native BIOS has microcode for E5450 to A07 version.
P.S. I can't see CPU photo.
