June 14Jun 14 Howdy folks,When I run [dmesg | grep microcode] I see the following returned:[ 0.904938] microcode: Current revision: 0x00000133[ 0.904943] microcode: Updated early from: 0x0000012bDoes this meain that the Motherboard/CPU has microcode 0x0000012b installed, but that the Linux kernel patched it to use 0x00000133?*** *** I just replaced my i9-14900K, purchsed 2024.10.12, as it was affected by the Vmin shift issue. On the origianal CPU, I updated the BIOS in the Winter of 2024 to 4001 which included Microcode 0x12B, however the damage occured due to low activity use over mutliple days and the degregation starting before May 2025's 0x12F. Since the machine is stable, I would rather not update the BIOS & microcode if 0x133 is sucessfully being used. However if my understanding is flawed then I need to updated this Motherboard & CPU asap.Thank you.
