ok i 've reflashed with the vbios i send you no problem at all : Device ID is changed by Asus one but as you can see in GPU-Z it stays ACER no matter what ...

all ouputs are working (DP,HDMI and i-gpu) flawlessly and base clock are now 1111 mhz (960 before) and max boost (theorical) was 1200 mhz before it is now 1333 mhz (without ACER TUBO MODE) and memory 1750 mhz





quick benchmark with turbo mode engaged (no MSI AB overclocking)

+ 300 mhz over turbo ( 1333 +300 = 1590 minimum 1633 maximum)

90W power draw :

even better after 5 mins of benchmark 1900 mhz peak and 93+W ...
without msi AB voltmod ...




MSI VOLTMOD + ACER TURBO MOD + MSI AB OVERCLOKING (inhouse daily use) : 97W +





Old games 2100 mhz max (1850 mhz min) fully stable; encoding HVENC 264/265 video 2100 mhz and new games (higher TDP power draw) avg clocks sit at 1700-1750 mhz

@saltinbank Is there anyway to do it for gtx 1660ti ( Helios 300 2019)?

@johnson2008 - What is exact model name, what you mention looks like it's missing some letters before 515
Please link me to the stock BIOS download page.

@Lost_N_BIOS
model: Predator PT515-51

bios: 1.05

@johnson2008 - Thanks. Are you sure you want to stay on old BIOS 1.05 before I unlock? If you maybe want to update to 1.13, do that now, then redo the vars dump and BIOSreg dump and send new file package

@Lost_N_BIOS

Thanks . i will stay on bios 1.05 . because the new version BIOS 1.13 will cause the cpu Turbo noise , so I Specificed downgraded to 1.05.


now ,the BIOS has Protected Range Registers.

Error 167: Protected Range Registers are currently set by BIOS, preventing flash access.
Please contact the target system BIOS vendor for an option to disable
Protected Range Registers.

FPT Operation Failed.

@johnson2008 - Thanks for confirming BIOS version! Error 167 is not an issue, this is why we dump vars, to edit and bypass that
Here is modified vars, program this in using command below with the exact same version of tool you used to dump it (100.00.16.08).
There will be success/fail list, then reboot and redo FPT BIOS region dump with new name, and send me that (ie >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosregnew.bin)

@Lost_N_BIOS

Thanks. Attached is biosregnew.bin

yes i thinks so you must go ask for a Modded VBios on the forum ...

i found mine chatting with people having same rig i7 97505h + rtx 2060 (acer, Msi owners and asus ones) and one owner gave me his Vbios wich one iam using currently ...

Look for it here : maybe people will upload their Vbios here

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?arc...memSize=&since=

@johnson2008 - Here is your unlocked BIOS - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...486503431272003
Flash via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregnewm.bin

Please post back and confirm unlock is OK or not, thanks

*** WARNING - To ANYONE with laptop and unlocked BIOS!!!! ***
DO NOT try to enable this graphics card or disable that card, switch cards etc. Otherwise you will end up with no display output (ie black screen) and no way to recover except by blind flash or with flash programmer.
You can change graphics related settings, like changing memory sizes, or core speeds etc, just don't try to disable one card or change which is main etc.
Additionally, be very careful when trying to undervolt CPU, you can leave BIOS unbootable due to CPU voltage too low (Sometimes even 0.05 is too much)

*** WARNING *** - This BIOS is user specific! If you are not user johnson2008 at Win-RAID.com forum, DO NOT USE THIS BIOS!!
If you do, and you are not johnson2008, then you will loose your serial, UUID, OG NVRAM, and possibly LAN MAC ID as well.
You have been warned!!!

@Lost_N_BIOS

Thanks, Flash the biosregnewm.bin : Error 167: Protected Range Registers.

@johnson2008 - that simply means you either did not flash in the vars to unlock before making the dump to send to me, or you flashed back in stock locked BIOS after flashing in the unlock vars.
Flash back in the unlocked vars again, then reboot and flash the mod BIOS

@Lost_N_BIOS

Thanks.
Follow the steps to rerun the program
1.H2OUVE.exe -sv varsM.txt
2.Reboot
3.FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregnewm.bin （unlocked BIOS） -->still show 167 PPR Error

Attached is the current state var：
1.H2OUVE.exe -gv varsnow.txt
2.FPTw.exe -bios -d biosregnow.bin
