my i7 4800mq power throttles to well below what it can actually handle, even when on AC power. i am always on AC power, so this is a huge problem. I want my computer to obey my OS when it comes to cpu frequencies and things. Dell’s buggy bios is in the way.
i am on BIOS A25 and i have extracted the IFR tables. it will not allow me to post .txt files here, so here is a link to the Level1techs forum which documents my struggles with this so far. the linked post contains a download of my ifr tables.
i am now at the limit of my comprehension, i have looked through the ifr.txt but its not obvious to me how i can actually use the information to achieve my desired result.
"however many of the links are dead or the tools linked dont work (for bios A25). i also do not have access to Windows on this machine. using BIOS A16 is not an option for me. i am on A25, any other BIOS version make my system unbootable.
my ME is disabled. laptop shipped like that, even confirmed by a little sticker underneath the battery. i suspect is why the fn+shift 15324 and fn+c trick doesnt work.
That should be initially referred…
No dump/flash with ME tools then only working with an SPI IC programmer, regular flash methods will be OEM/AMI blocked, using mod files.
Good luck.
Sweet! So there IS a way to make my laptop do as i command… how do i do that?
Ive never manually burned a chip before. Nor created a bios mod file.
My soldering ability is non-existant.
Or is there a way to re-enable my ME and then re-disable it after ive fixed the behavior?
