I don't think many people have tested without microcode updates.
So far I've had relatively good luck with that. Lately, specifically, these CPUs seem to work fine without microcode update:
AMD A8-5600K AMD A6-5400K
I tested those on the Asus F2A85-M/CSM board.
You can also omit the optional xhci blob (no usb3 support) as well as the VGA BIOS.
Thanks, Ward.
