I'm waiting for unlocked bios.

Yes, me too I'm working on it Please show me image of the BIOS where I added the battery setting, I just want to see it's options, and if the other stock battery setting remained in place too.

Did you ever test secure boot mode disabled? In regards to graphics vBIOS loading it's UEFI BIOS or Legacy image, maybe this can affect fan change with the different screens too (Change legacy option rom to enable to test this later when you try if you do)

* Edit - Unlocked BIOS menu layout will be >> Main, Main 2, Advanced, Advanced 2, Chipset, Boot, Boot 2, Save and Exit.
This adds the hidden Advanced, Chipset and Boot, leaves in place original Main, Advanced, Boot, and Security page, and swaps exit for Save & Exit.

Here you go.

I tried legacy etc... no changes.

Well maybe some of the options I'll make visible for you on the graphics side will help you get the 17" to act like 15" so fans go down, if not you'll have to try vBIOS modified BIOS eventually, or flash in actual GFX cards vBIOS from the 15" or 17", whichever is not in there now.
Is it same card on both systems, aside from the unlocked vBIOS? Don't be sacred of using other vBIOS, especially for testing, you can always flash back. And, with any other vBIOS, you can also unlock it too if you want, so it would be same as "unlocked vBIOS" you have on there now.

The 15 r4 has max q card and 17 r5 has normal card. I flashed couple vbises on it but it didn't change anything.

Also please unlock thunderbolt settings.

Thanks

Generic model names don't help me in regards to what I asked, sorry for not being specific. I wanted to know if both systems use same exact graphics card chipset, for example both use 970M or 1050M etc.

Yes, all settings will be unlocked for you once I'm done! I will need a complete set of all BIOS pages, submenus, all visible settings after this, if you want me to confirm every single thing is visible.
Or you can check this yourself if you want, but you'll also need images, so you can compare side by side image with BIOS in AMIBCP

I will wrap up BIOS right now, please give me 15-20 minutes if you are reading this now, and then I should be done and have BIOS ready for you

@ket - can you look into this vBIOS, and see if you can see a way to change whatever is applied to 15" monitor, to instead be applied to 17" monitor?
I'm not sure if this is possible, but when 15" monitor is connected, system acts right, when 17" is connected info is detected wrong (wrong sys model, wrong card model) and fans spin at 100%
I think this may be controlled by the vBIOS inside main BIOS, however maybe not? I can edit/mess with that, but we planned to do later, and I just remembered you know about digging deeper than I do into actual card vBIOS
I'll follow up with a link to this in PM if you don't reply in a day or two, just in case you don't look into thread notifications - heads up
Thanks man, hope you can spare a few to check it out - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...327796822192791

On this board i found only 1080 maxq for 15 R4 and 1080 normal for 17 R5.

Thanks for confirmation, sounds like same card on each then, or at least same chipset maybe different memory amount too. And then possibly different BIOS or simply different settings applied to same BIOS

Yes it adjusts and decide which laptop it is when display is connected.

The funny thing is, vBIOS (In BIOS vBIOS) is set to choose this via BIOS default, and BIOS default is set to choose via vBIOS default (in BIOS vBIOS)

* Edit - @code9523 - Here is unlocked BIOS, sorry for the delay
Please either compare what you see in BIOS vs AMIBCP for all new stuff mentioned in change log - or take images of every BIOS page, batch resize those or set your camera to take smaller images first (or use old/cheap camera so images aren't so huge), and then archive 7zip for me and I will compare

*** @code9523 - Edit 99 - Sorry about that, if you already flashed! Here is proper unlocked BIOS package
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...416176856738903

Can be flashed via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f filename.bin
Since you already have flashed in unlocked FD, all you need to flash here is the BIOS region I edited

** Edit @code9523 - Please wait, above BIOS is not complete, sorry!!! I forgot something, do not flash!! - Link OK now

It's working! Here are pictures!

I drop you one photo of device menager with one USB C device which gives error code 43 may be you have seen something related to it in bios settings? Also need small guide how to adjust fan modes.

What is above attachments? (never mind, I downloaded them) I don't need to see device manager, sorry I don't know anything about USB C items or device manager errors, you'll have to google that one.
Yes, there is USB 3/C related settings in BIOS, check them out and see if any help. I don't know about fan modes either, sorry, I only know you can adjust certain thermal trip points (example - trip point 1 set 40C or whatever and then set fan to xx%, then trip point 2 70C or whatever then set fan to much higher %)

* Edit - thanks for images, from what I can see in those, there is a bunch of settings still missing from the other Boot Menu. So new BIOS coming shortly to fix that

** Edit 2 - Due to these settings missing, which probably should have been visible, I expect some/many others may be missing too. So, if you want, please take images of every single submenu/setting within, so I can see it all.
If you do, please resize images, or use other camera, or maybe if you can, make a quick video instead Video may be best, if you can make a small one, AVI, MP4, MKV etc, all OK, whatever is smallest.
Then I can pause on anything I need, and you can much easier go into each submenu and scroll up/down, back out, next submenu etc and that would be much easier for us both vs images I think.

* Edit #3 - @code9523 - Here is new edit, revealing the missing settings from the new Boot Menu.
Please see change log, I put some notes/question there for you about one setting (Driver Option #%d = Order), if this bricks, or wont let you into this page now, it's due to my note/question
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...476435190338026

Annnnnd, now that I've uploaded, I think maybe I could have left that as it is, and only enabled in AMIBCP maybe, we'll find out, let me know what happens, if it's a fail, we'll try AMIBCP edit only on that single setting

It failed to boot on V3

- I didn't expect that, but did think maybe it wouldn't show that boot page. I will redo
* Edit - this one will boot, promise, but may not show the missing settings, but I want to see which if any show up this way only, so show me image of new boot page (one on far right)
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...853552966787247

Then, if all still missing, this time I will unsuppress differently, and leave that last one I questioned off, except in a separate final edit.
