BIOS Says there probably wasn't a microcode update

Using an i5-4670K. See fwts Log:

microcode: Check if system is using latest microcode.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test 1 of 1: Check for most recent microcode being loaded.

This test verifies if the firmware has put a recent revision of the microcode

into the processor at boot time. Recent microcode is important to have all the

required features and errata updates for the processor.

FAILED [MEDIUM] MicrocodeNotUpdated: Test 1, The kernel did not report that CPU

0 has had a microcode update. The current firmware is revision 0x9 and probably

has not been updated.

FAILED [MEDIUM] MicrocodeNotUpdated: Test 1, The kernel did not report that CPU

1 has had a microcode update. The current firmware is revision 0x9 and probably

has not been updated.

FAILED [MEDIUM] MicrocodeNotUpdated: Test 1, The kernel did not report that CPU

2 has had a microcode update. The current firmware is revision 0x9 and probably

has not been updated.

Here's the full fwts log, since it's the only place that it says it (The BIOS itself doesn't say it. But when queried by the fwts script, the BIOS reports it.)

I cannot set anything that says To be filed by O.E.M. since I had the processor and motherboard instaleld at a local computer store.
