Thanks! Persistence pays off sometimes If you had a programmer now I could easily find the unlock for the BIOS menus, by sending you a bunch of test edits, but since you do not we need to wait until I can find it exactly, or someone tells me the edit address, so it's not a risk that way.
I can do the edit no problem, it's finding the exact position to apply an edit is the issue, some Insyde BIOS I can find easily, others are a huge pain (like error 167 )

I don't have a doubt that you can mod it and you are right better to be safe

EDIT2: Can this be set in the BIOS?

EDIT2: I found it all here https://octoperf.com/blog/2018/09/02/ace...elios-500-mods/

Yes, that thread I linked from BIOS-mods early on in this thread, is for this exact model. Often you do need programmer, he may have just not had someone want to go through all the hassle and testing that we did to figure it out, sometimes it's impossible so easier to get programmer without trying 100 things.

The stuff you asked about in HWINFO, I don't see in the BIOS settings, but some of them are obfuscated, so we wont know for sure until it's unlocked.
Nothing helpful at the other link

I see now, I thought you meant in general the Power Level Settings (PL1/PL2 etc). Looking at the image again, that means those are already "unlocked" and "unlimited"

Great you will now have a programmer, this will save you in the future and may be necessary here if I can't get advice or figure this one out myself.
If we go ahead without someone giving me a hint which is the locks, then we'll wait until programmer arrives before I send you anything because it will be best guess edits.

@Lost_N_BIOS I think HWINFO is broken or I don't understand what unlocked means

CPU Turbo Max: 4100.0 MHz = 41 x 100.0 MHz [Unlocked]
What does it mean ?

Anyway do you know if this line can be change with a bios mod:
Turbo Ratio Limits: 41x (1-2c), 40x (3-4c), 39x (5-6c)
To this:
Turbo Ratio Limits: 41x (1-2c), 41x (3-4c), 41x (5-6c)

Also back in the old days it was a thing called FSB that could be overclock to overclock the CPU but also other things on the motherboard. What is it called now ?

Can I put a CPU Power Limit 2 - Short Duration to an unlimited time after the bios mod?

EDIT1: What is DSKU?

That means that is max default CPU speed possibility. I am not familiar with the power saving stuff, so can't answer on that. But those are CPU multi's vs cores in use, normal turbo type limitations.
Sometimes yes, that can be locked to a single multi like you mentioned, but not via settings mod that requires some other actual BIOS modifications

FSB is now bclk for Intel, unsure for AMD. You may be able to change those power settings after BIOS unlock, I am not sure, many of the settings names are obfuscated from my view so I can't see the names of some items.
We'll have to see once we get there

@Lost_N_BIOS Did you find something?

And Thanks for the answer ⬆⬆⬆

No, and no reply from Dudu2002 either I found a few places right away that I suspect may be the unlocks, but without you having programmer I can't send you those edits, it's too risky of bricking if incorrect.

@Kronos128 - did your programmer arrive yet, or still waiting?

@Lost_N_BIOS Still waiting hope it will come today. 😔

I know the feeling Once you/we quit looking for it, then it will show up At least it's not a China shipment wait

@Lost_N_BIOS I am so happy, I just received it!😊 (It came from near Paris)

Do i have to use this drivers and software

@Lost_N_BIOS So it didn't auto detect my bios chip so I had to chose one (the EN25QH128) but i am not sure if it's the good one here is the bin file that the software has read

@Kronos128 - Newer is not always better, some chips need certain versions or incorrect ID's, or even other software instead for some chips. Here is package I always send everyone - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...257455007472602
Thank you for 1.35 version, I will check it out and add to the package above eventually. Ohh, I see no link there. This software funny some are free, some are paid etc, I think latest free ones are all in the package I linked above.

Here is guide on how to use/setup - [GUIDE] Flash BIOS with CH341A programmer
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-G...341A-programmer << Same as one directly above, but with all images expanded/visible at once

Your chip is XM25QH128AHIG / QH128AHIG as you noted - this can often be read with using other ID's, but fails when writing back, as mentioned in the thread you linked I would dump with 1.30 and 1.34 and see if both match, then hopefully one will write back properly.
If not, you can also try ASProgrammer 1.40 and choose chip ID W25Q128FV (This chip ID requires this program to properly write, do not waste time trying CH341A software, I've tested them all)
https://github.com/nofeletru/UsbAsp-flash/releases/

I did also find info saying the Eon ID you mentioned above works sometimes too, we'll know for sure when you write
Once you are ready to test that, you can try writing back your dumped BIOS - erase, blank check, open BIOS file, write/verify using ASProgrammer
Do not do this now with the above linked BIOS Backup, it's corrupted dump. Make a new one using ASProgrammer and the ID I gave you above, then let me check it out.
