I updated to 0903 but my CPU signature is 0x906EC and my microcode revision is A0. I have a 9900K. Nothing changed? Not sure if the update was for other processors?

The microcode appropriate to your CPU will load on your CPU...I imagine the BIOS microcode is cumulative for all CPUs supported on a certain socket

The microcode in 0903 is 9Ah which is not what Intel state for the 8700K in their latest updates.So, either Asus has just updated for the 9 series CPU's and not the 8 series. Therefore , how can that microcode (9Ah) be appropriate for the 8700K.

So the way it works is that microcode can be loaded to the motherboard (i believe) with a bios flash OR into a dll stored within windows. at bootup, windows will check to see if it has a more current version of the microcode in the dll file it keeps. If not, it loads whats in the bios, if so, windows will load was is in that DLL. The latest microcode should be 0x96 for the 8700k. Since the latest bios revision *may not* have microcode that is that current, you can easily apply windows update kbb4465065 and it will give you the current code. I just applied yesterday. Simple quick easy update. I believe they continually update the microcode under that same update number.

It will only apply it if its needed and appropriate for that CPUID
