You've tried to uninstall a microcode update. This is the expected result.
This is basic stuff guys.
Because such updates, or any software for that matter, should be carved into the eternal, never to be removed again...
And also just another argument in the "overclocking work PCs" discussion...
Work PC or not... I'd be uber pissed if I had a 6950x, whose MSRP is north of $1700, and suddenly not only be unable to overclock it but also have diminished performance (even if it were left at stock) thanks to a crappy update. And hey... maybe he needs those additional clock cycles for his work?
Because this is the only proper approach, obviously. At least people are learning from whom to take advice...
In a perfect world, yes. In the actual, not so perfect world we all live in... updates can and do wreck havoc from time to time, hence thread. Evidently cadaveca was one of the luckier ones who selected hardware that actually got proper support from the manufacturer. From what I gather, this microcode update can really fuck shit up without a proper BIOS update backing it.
No. Because the only problem that anyone had in this thread is
@xkm1948 and that was because he uninstalled the update, not installed it.
wat
No... just... no. xkm1948 is not the only user in this thread complaining about the update. Secondly, he uninstalled the update not because he went about deleting things all willy nilly, he did so because the update caused problems in the first place.
