Ive used this guide now several times to upgrade old machines

THough every time I struggle with selecting the correct microcodes

According to your video, 'CPU-World.com' shows microcodes for cpus.. For example cpu i5 9400 has id SR3X5, when I search SR3X5 , I am not finding the microcodes

Isnt there a table that can be added to the guide to show which CPU's belong to each microcode?

506E3 - Skylake (6th gen)
906E9 - Kabylake (7th gen)
906EA/EB/EC/ED - Coffee Lake (8th and 9th gen).

906ED is for 9th gen R0 chips. 906EC is for 9th gen P0 chips. This is what I know.

This is a good source of information, you can use this thread to find the microcodes available for your CPU based on CPU-Z information of the Family, Model, Stepping, Revision
Then this thread will allow you to see what the latest microcode version is. For 906ED it is "FA" I think.
Then you can go to https://github.com/platomav/CPUMicrocodes
And download it, and just rename it to one of the microcodes included in CoffeeTime to make the program work with the newer version. You just swap it in with the old microcode's filename in the program's directory.
