Good idea on that post in the AMI forum Alien
Well I have not noticed anything, but the good news is I have not had any issues. Seeing as Intel released the update officially on their site and it was incorporated into the latest XEONS on the 775/771 platform I think it is probably worth implementing as microcodes from their very definition are bug fixes.Did you notice any difference in performance or stability with updating the Microcode?
Sadly I cannot find a changelog
(Will see if it is on a document anywhere). Needless to say the 60F revision was the last microcode for C0 QX9650 CPU and Quad Core Xeon.
Out of curiosity I tried that latest Option ROM 11.x I cannot BOOT with this as the RAID Option ROM does not work
It appears my "theory" is true, BIOS released for X58 you can use the Option ROM for ICH9/10R however BIOS released for 6 series motherboards are highly unlikely to play nicely with our boards (unless the Option ROM has also been ratified for X58).
10.6.1091 is an X58 ROM as is the only 10.5 ROM which works on our boards...

BTW this is the official Microcode File I used
Oh and this Tool here to extract the microcode
BE VERY VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL
