Not really. I have not written my BIOS modding guides with the intention to do the BIOS modding myself.

As long as you just update the PCI ROM modules of the BIOS, the CPU Microcode will stay untouched.
Please give us some informations about your system (AHCI or RAID configuration etc.) and report, which PCI ROM modules you want to get updated and what exactly you have done.

Off topic: I have deleted the other 2 similar posts you have written into different threads.

Happy New Year!

It is the space problem, which makes it impossible to replace the very old 64 KB sized Intel MSM RAID ROM v8.0.0.1039 by the 118 KB sized Intel RST(e) RAID ROM v13.5.0.2164. Furthermore it wouldn't make much sense to insert an Intel RAID Utility, which has been developed for Intel 8- and 9-series Chipsets, into the BIOS of your very old Intel system.
My advice:
I recommend to insert the 85 KB sized TRIM in RAID0 modded Intel RST RAID ROM v10.1.0.1008. This is the latest Intel RAID ROM version with an uncompressed size of less than 100 KB.
This is what I got after having replaced the original Intel MSM RAID ROM v8.0.0.1039 by the Intel RST RAID ROM v10.1.0.1008:

Not impossible, this bios has the mod:
GA-EP45C-DS3R BIOS F6d mod http://www.mediafire.com/download/fnntrq...S3R_mod_F6d.zip
Modified with :
Intel SATA AHCI 1.20E
Intel RAID SATA 8.9.1.1002 to 12.7.0.1936
Realtek LAN 2.35 to 2.58

I cant use f6d beta bios, only f6a bios work, so i can only update raid rom in f6a
And I dit it with ROM v10.1.0.1008 but have the same problem, the microcode list is reduced!

That is obviously a BIOS, which cannot be used with your mainboard. Each BIOS is different.

I cannot see a difference regarding the CPU microcode after having updated the Intel RAID ROM to v10.1.0.1008.
This is what I get, when I open the original (unmodified) BIOS file with CBROM:

Please post the 2 pictures with the complete and the reduced CPU Microcode list.

Where did you get the "original" bios.bin file?
It seems, that it has already been modified. Usually the PCI ROM files of an original BIOS are listed one after the other and not widespread within the BIOS.
Another strange thing regarding the "original" BIOS: Ony the Intel AHCI ROM is situated above the sensitive MINIT module, whereas the other 2 are below it. If all 3 PCI ROM modules would have been above the MINIT file, any modification by using the tool CBROM32_198 would have created an unusable BIOS.
