[Request] Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-42)

i will look for the bioschip this weekend - sry had some hospital-time again…

Hi Bois, any update on the modded BIOS?.?

Hi! If you are looking for bios mod, then it’s required to have a HW programmer.

Hey all, i have a different laptop and wanted to use the bios recovery method using the usb stick, can you tell me how to get the specific file name please? (my laptop is ph317 53)

Hi, @moonzz . The USB recovery method is not applicable to your laptop, and the installation of modifications is possible by flashing the BIOS using the FPT program.

HW Programmer ?.?

Hey, i’m really interested about the bios mod, how can i have it?
i have the same computer and removing the cpu throttling through the bios would really help me a lot since most of activities are bottlenecked by this.
thanks for the attention btw

here is what i can achieve without bios-mod of my AN515-42 - just with RyzenAdj and GPU OC in AMD driver

my AN515-42 vs Ryzen 5 1400 + RX 560 Desktop

so the only upside of a BiosMod would be a higher maxTemp (as the AN515-42 doesnt allow RyzenAdj to change it) AND maybe some RAM OC (like bringing my DDR4-2400CL16 to DDR4-2933CL18or16)

ps my Laptop would be #11 when in Desktops-List - here here compare to #10: https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/25277223/fs/16825612
