i updated 3 mainboards

first is MSI P6NGM-L

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/P6NGML.html#hero-overview

that is a long time i have this MSI product , it had a cpu Core2 Duo E8400 during a long time and with ebay i was able to update the cpu last year .
i found a good site about updating microcodes and followed the tutorial .
I updated: at least three elements of the latest release bios for motherboard MSI P6NGM-L.

The rom modules are:
Device 10de: 07e3
MCP73 GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i 5.73.32.09.15 to version v5.73.32.09.21

Device 10de: 07f8
Name: MCP73 SATA RAID Controller
MediaShield ROM BIOS 10.0.0.34 has version v10.0.0.35

The cpu is an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550S CPUID 1067A ( SLGAE)
I removed both versions of the microcode for the cpu and also another which is for very old P4 and installs the microcode:
Cpu0001067a_plat00000011_ver00000a0b_da te20100928

the guide i followed is :http://www.delidded.com/how-to-update-cp...de-in-ami-bios/
i uploaded a file having the original named msi.rom and the new bios named msi_jcg.rom plus the new source files

i learned that best firmware for intel raid controllers is version 11.2.0.1527 it supports hard-drives with 4k clusters .

i extracted rom modules and saw , by using drag&drop into notepad , the infos about versions , that the rom for intel raid is v10.6.0.1091� and also that one is may be not the best for the mainboard : the one with pci:id 8086:10DE .
in notepad , the module shows :

that would be a pleasure for me to ear feedbacks and if you tell me the updated bioses i made will install and work well or if i did mistakes and can break the mainboards using it .

i wonder if i will get a reply ?

The only way to "verify" them is to try and restore if they aren't working. Yes, you need a hardware SPI programmer for making backups and for restoring, but it's the only option if you want to be sure. No one but you will check you files.
