Bumping this for help.
:)

Hello all, found this today searching out temp issues on my Gigabyte Aero 15 2021 version.
Just wondering if this would work on the latest one?

Mine is the AERO 15 KC-8US5130SP
Intel® Core™ i7-10870H,
16GB DDR4-2933 RAM
512GB PCIe SSD
15.6" UHD OLED (3,840 x 2,160)
GeForce RTX 3060 6GB GDDR6

i've noticed my temps are always high, in a game for instance on a cooling pad in witcher 3 settings on ultra, hair fx off
80 on the CPU and 83 on the gpu, didnt seen any stutter or fps drop below 61.... just wanted to be able to use throttle stop or xtu to drop my cpu temps... I will be running afterburner to drop the GPU temps...

basically, can the bios be modded to allow cpu adjustments.... thanks.

Hi @epikhanzen

I guess your system is pretty similar to mine.
Check through this thread to learn the various steps neccesary.
At first it can seem intimidating but soon things get clearer! :)

Bascially you need to do the following:
- Unlock your BIOS Region for flashing with RU method. (see post #203 for possible variable to change)
- Dump your BIOS and get it unlocked by someone.
- Reflash your BIOS with the new unlocked one.

Good luck!
I have done most of the steps but am only a beginner. And I'm still waiting and hoping someone can unlock my BIOS for me so I'm not even finished doing it yet!

I agree the temperatures seem ok.
Also @epikhanzen are you using MSI Afterburner to help overclock/undervolt the GPU?
It might result a lower temps on the GPU when capping 60 FPS in some games.

Hi guys, I'm not sure what to do now.
It looks like the user who could help us unlock the BIOS menus is no longer active?
Any advice?

@Jimmyme Here is your mod bios I made from your bios file you posted in #270 in this thread (before you removed it). It is my understanding that the only change you had made to your stock bios prior to posting it was to unlock BIOS_Lock var 0x17 in PCHSetup with RU. If this is not the case (i.e. if you had made other changes) - please do not use this file.
Below are my notes & edits for your bios (the credit for developing this method goes to Lost_N_BIOS):

Hi @nickobar
wow!!! Thankyou so much for this! I am really, really grateful.
Since I unloaded that file I formatted my HDD and reinstalled windows.
I'm a little concerned that something relevant to the BIOS might have changed.

I want to do the process again and provide you with a file that I am totally confident is current for my system.
Is that ok?
Sorry for the hassle!
I will find time to do this early next week!

I'm very excited. Thank you so much for your help!

Cheers!

@Jimmyme You're welcome! It's best to start afresh if you are not sure about that file. When you are ready disable secure boot/passwords/etc. then dump biosreg.bin with the 32-bit version of appropriate FPTw and post it here. I'll make a new mod for you.

By the way, since you mentioned windows fresh install you may want to look at Optimize-Offline for some good debloating options. There is also a discussion thread about it on mydigitallife.net forum

This is off the topic but I hope you don't mind me asking: what are the max fan speeds (fan1 & fan2) you are seeing on front page of your Control Panel?

Hi @nickobar

Thanks again for your friendly and helpful reply.
I decided to update the BIOS to F07 among some other things.
Using RU method I unlocked the BIOS region.

Here it is: https://we.tl/t-9l5YeM6Mlh

If your could unlock the BIOS menus I would be sooo happy.
I want ot undercolt this laptop badly!

Thanks again for everything.
If there is anything else you need please just let me know.

@Jimmyme I have tried a few times - could not download from that site. Could you please use winrar or 7z and compress the file and then attach here. If it's larger than 6 MB you can split it into two parts.

Edit: I just checked gigabyte site to see what latest bios version they have for your laptop (AERO 15 KB-7JP1130JH) and I could only find FB06/FD06. where did you get F07 ?

Hi @nickobar

Please excuse my late reply. And thank you again for all your help!
I got FB07/F004 from the Gigabyte Control Center software. Sometimes this software shows newer versions than on the website.
HardwareInfo shows it as FB07 with a Release Date of 08/03/2020
It seems to be working fine.

The BIOS Region unlocked file is attached here:

Please let me know if this download link does not work for you.

Thanks again (so excited).

@Jimmyme Hi. Attached is your mod bios. Be very careful undervolting.
The usual !! WARNING !! applies: This BIOS is user specific! If you are not user Jimmyme at Win-RAID.com forum, DO NOT USE THIS BIOS!!

Hi @nickobar
Wow, thanks so much.

I just grabbed the file. I will report to you on my findings after flashing!

Thanks again!!!

Thanks @nickobar

It worked!!!
The BIOS now has so many options that I am totally confused! LOL

But I can't undervolt using Throttlestop yet. I think that I need to enable something in the BIOS but there are so many options that I'm not sure which one to use.
Would you have any tips for what to look for in the BIOS?

Thanks for everything. Really wonderful to see such a great bios again!

EDIT: Got it!!!! Thanks for all your help. I found the settings to change.
