@tonyG3 - good to see no brick at least! Yes, I thought maybe it would not matter, since Intel tools wont let me create a OC or Adaptive profile for your system, nor change the current one to OC/Adaptive, on BIOS build it's either reset if change OG or removed if add Adaptive/OC profile.
I think this is due to HM370 chipset as mentioned, so nothing we can do to change this, without being able to switch/add Adapter or OC profiles, you can't adjust the correct things to make the default profile similar/same as OC/Adaptive.
So, flash back in previous BIOS now, that way you don't have this extra edits in there for no reason, may possibly cause random issues later, you never know and I'm always about least edits possible/required = best.

1. I can set the memory state to 2933 and stable work in 2933-17-18-18-42-cr1.
but the setting is higher than 2933 (ex 3000,3066,3200), Whatever parameters are set to 20,22,22,46 or 22,24,24,52 ,etc...
it couldn't pass the memtest . Whatever adjusted the mem voltage to 1.35v, VCCIO to 1100MV and VCCSA to 1100mv,uncore to +100
Do you have any other Suggestions for overclocking?

Hello, after more than 6 hours going through each page

You are doing an amazing work @Lost_N_BIOS

I would like to unlock my PH315-52 ver. :1.11 BIOS and don't have FPT

and here is the attached vars files

@Ahmad - Thank you!!
Below is how to use, and linked info on where to get, compatible FPT for your system.
You do not need to do anything with FPT yet, wait to do step #1 and send to me until after you have flashed back in unlocked vars.
However, please do read the first part of this, about BIOS settings you need to reset or change, before dumping vars, you may need to change those now and make a new vars dump first before I edit them
Please confirm your vars above are made AFTER the below BIOS settings things have been done, if not, then do them now and then make new vars

Please confirm your vars above are made AFTER the below BIOS settings things have been done, if not, then do them now and then make new vars

If you have already modified the BIOS in ANY way, you will need to re-flash it back to factory defaults using factory method (NOT FPT)!!!
Additionally, please remove all BIOS passwords, disable secure boot, and disable TPM or Encryption if you have enabled. Do this before moving on to below

If you do not have Intel ME drivers installed, install them now from your system driver download page, then start over here after reboot.
Check your BIOS' main page and see if ME FW version is shown. If not then > DOWNLOAD HWINFO64 HERE <

Once HWINFO is open, look at the large window on the left side, expand motherboard, and find the ME area.
Inside that section is the ME Firmware version. Take note of the version. (ie. write it down or get a screenshot)

Once you have that, go to the thread linked below, and in the section "C.2" find and download the matching ME System Tools Package for your system.
(ie if ME FW version = 10.x get V10 package, if 9.0-9.1 get V9.1 package, if 9.5 or above get V9.5 package etc)
> DOWNLOAD " ME System Tools " packages HERE <

Once downloaded, inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and then inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder (NOT x64).
Highlight that Win/Win32 folder, then hold shift and press right click. Choose "open command window here" (Not power shell! >> * See Registry file below *).

If you get an error, reply to this post with a screenshot of it, OR write down the EXACT command entered and the EXACT error given.

((If "open command window here" does not appear, look for the "Simple Registry Edit" below...))

Step #1
Now you should be at the command prompt.
You are going to BACKUP the factory un-modified firmware, so type the following command:
Command: " FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin "

>> Attach the saved "biosreg.bin ", placed into a compressed ZIP/RAR file, to your next post!!! <<

Step #2
Right after you do that, try to write back the BIOS Region dump and see if you get any error(s).
Command: " FPTw.exe -bios -f biosreg.bin "
^^ This step is important! Don't forget! ^^

If you get an error, reply to this post with a screenshot of it, OR write down the EXACT command entered and the EXACT error given.

Here is a SIMPLE REGISTRY EDIT that adds "Open command window here as Administrator" to the right click menu, instead of Power Shell
Double-click downloaded file to install. Reboot after install may be required
> CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD CMD PROMPT REGISTRY ENTRY <

If the windows method above does NOT work for you...
Then you may have to copy all contents from the Flash Programming Tool \ DOS folder to the root of a Bootable USB disk and do the dump from DOS
( DOS command: " FPT.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin " )

@Ahmad - Thanks!
Here is unlocked vars, drop varsm.txt into H20UVE_100.00.16.08 folder, then run command >>> H2OUVE.exe -sv varsM.txt
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...199922359223413

Then reboot, and do FPT Step #1 from above spoiler and send me the created file

@Ahmad - Thanks, yes, step #2 will pass now that you flashed in unlocked vars
Here is your mod unlocked BIOS, flash it back via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregm.bin
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...231487322589000

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

@Ahmad - Thanks for quick test and report back, glad to hear all went smoothly!
I think maybe some laptop memory has XMP, but I am not 100% certain, but almost swear I think some users have shown me XMP info from HWINFO64/CPU-z, or gave me DDR3/DDR4 SPD dumps that had XMP in them.
If no XMP on your memory kit, you'll have to tweak the timings best you can manually, you can do it

@Lost_N_BIOS Hi, is it possible to unlock my bios as im using the latest 1.12 version and I'm using the PH-317-53 model. I'm kind of new to this so could you explain what i need to do if you can unlock using the software method.Thanks in advance :)
Edit: Uploaded my vars file

@moonzz - Please confirm, this is your BIOS download page? https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/su...roduct/8051?b=1
If yes, then flash back this modified vars using command below, then do stuff in spoiler but only do step #1 & #2, do not reflash stock BIOS etc as mentioned at beginning of spoiler
However, if you have secure boot enabled, TPM enabled, or a BIOS password set, then you DO need to start over and disable everything mentioned in the spoiler, make a new vars dump and send to me and DO NOT Flash the one below

After you flash in mod vars, there will be a list of success/failure, then reboot and do step #1-2 of spoiler, if it passes #2 without error, then upload file created at #1
Make sure you put this back into 100.00.16.08 folder and flash it with that version - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...152668580442178

H2OUVE.exe -sv varsM.txt

@Lost_N_BIOS Thank you for the reply :)
Yes, that is the page i got the bios from.
I had already disabled secureboot and tpm prior to getting the vars file so it should be safe to flash it right?

Edit: So i've flashed the modded vars you gave me and done step 1 and 2 in the spoiler with no errors



heres the bios file: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...589323419628528

@moonzz - Yes, if you hadn't disabled all that, then it would have just failed at step #2 when you tried still.
Here is your unlocked BIOS, flash it back via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregm.bin
