Just a few days ago, intel announced it will be providing a microcode update in the BIOS of X299 motherboard to help improve overclocking capabilities of its new Core-X series processors and would be rolling out the new microcode very soon.

MSI was the first manufacturer to detail which motherboards from its X299 line-up would be getting the new BIOS update featuring the microcode update. Now Asus has outlined its X299 motherboards that will be upgraded to help improve overclocking the new Intel Core-X 10th generation high-end desktop processors.

Although MSI did not announce a specific date for release of the new BIOS featuring the microcode update, they did say it would be coming soon. However, Asus has been more specific with a comprehensive list outlining which motherboards will be updated and the date the updates will be available. Asus will be rolling out the updates in two waves starting from 13th December.

ASUS X299 Motherboard microcode update List:

Model BIOS Release Date
1st wave ROG RAMPAGE VI EXTREME ENCORE Dec 13, 2019
ROG STRIX X299-E GAMING II Dec 13, 2019
PRIME X299 EDITION 30 Dec 13, 2019

TUF X299 MARK 2 On or before Dec 31, 2019

Asus states the microcode will include voltage-based overclocking functionality integration into the Intel X299 chipset, to provide improved overclocking results for Intel’s new Core i9-10980XE, 10940X, 10920X and 10900X HEDT processors. More information on the Intel microcode update can be found on the Intel support page.

This week saw High-end desktop CPU launches from both AMD and Intel, with the new AMD Threadripper 3000 CPUs stealing the show. Intel is looking for a way to claw back some performance against AMD Threadripper and is working on a new microcode for the X299 platform.

Details of the X299 microcode update comes via a press release from MSI stating that the company is launching new BIOS updates for its range of X299 motherboards very soon. The new BIOS will include updated Intel microcode meaning that Overclocking of Intel Core X-series processors will be improved.

However, MSI didn’t provide any indication of exactly how much more performance would be gained from the improved overlocking, but the company did specifically mention that overclocking would be enhanced on new 10th generation Intel Core X-series CPUs including the Intel Core i9-10980XE, 10940X, 10920X, 10900X.

MSI has already updated BIOS versions for all its current line of X299 motherboards to support the new 10th generation Intel Core X-series processors, this new microcode update will maximise overall performance according to MSI. Intel also lists the microcode update on its support page and specifically states that if users intend to overclock new Core X-series processors, they should contact their motherboard manufacturer to obtain the latest microcode update.

KitGuru says: According to Intel, motherboard manufacturers including ASRock, Asus, Gigabyte, EVGA and MSI should all be readying new BIOS updates for the X299 platform. If you have an Intel Core-X i9 10000 series CPU, make sure you get the latest BIOS update which includes the microcode update before attempting overlocking.
