Hi @ all!

As far as I know all the microcodes are in a BIOS module called CPUCODE.BIN and up until the last version of my mobo BIOS I was able to extract this module an replace some microcodes with newer versions from other BIOSes.

But with the latest BIOS version this module is gone... :?

ctmc.exe is able to detect one microcode in the new BIOS version, but when I extract all modules with Award BIOS Editor und use ctmc.exe on all of the extracted modules it doesn't find even this one. 8O

If you take a look in the BIOS history one change is updated microcodes... but where are they gone???
Is there a new format for microcodes?

I hope someone can shed some light on this.

PS: All modules are around the same size except awardeyt.rom... its 30k bigger in the new BIOS.
