[Request] Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED BIOS unlocked

Hello guys, again,

I’m trying to overclock my RAM but I don’t know how to do it.

This is my current configuration:
Memory Timings 19-19-19-43 2667 Mhz
Crucial 32GB DDR4 x 2
Memory Voltage 1.2V

What should be the next configuration of the RAM?

On the other side, Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (ETU) is telling me that my platform doesn’t support overclocking.
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Atb9t3ChBFJqi_l9aSwzap9s6Fzs2A?e=O4AVIn

I already went into the BIOS in Advanced tab >> OverClocking Performance Menu. Set it to ‘Enabled’.

What am I missing?

481

Also, I enabled ETU in the Bios. However, nothing seems to work.

Also I see the PC also doing thermal throttling.

Also, I went to Power and performance-> CPU Power management control -> CPU Lock configuration-> CFG Lock was on, so I disabled it. Still I can’t Overclock.

Regards,

I could undervolt the CPU through the Bios (Currently -50 mV) i7 10870H . However, I wonder how to setup the timings for the RAM and not get a bricked laptop.

This is the RAM that I have. Currently running at 2600 Mhz. The manufacturer says that they run at 3200 Mhz with XMP but the Gigabyte AERO 15 KC doesn’t support that feature. So, How can I setup that speed?

I was able to apply the XMP profile through the Bios. Also, I increased the VCCIO/VCCSA to 1.15 volts … Just in case. Hopefully, everything worked. Now I have the laptop running at 3200 Mhz with an Undervolt in the bios with -50 mV. Maybe I can apply more undervoltage.

However, now I’m interested in enable USB wake up. Could you, please, let me know where I can find that feature in the bios?

Hi guys,

I have a Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED XD (Intel i7 11800H) and would like to use XTU or Throttlestop to undervolt my CPU.

I am still new here in the forum and therefore wanted to ask if a BIOS unlock can unlock this. Has anyone here already had experience, or can held me to unlock this feature?

Thanks for the help

I found the BIOS dump-Tool from @BDMaster and create a backup of my Bios.

I think that can help you :slight_smile:

Ok friend; you have to unlock the eeprom Write settings these variables by RU shell and using the FPT 15 make a bios backup.

FPRR VarOffset - 0x683
BIOS Lock VarOffset - 0x1C

You’ll find under PchSetup [4570B7F1-ADE8-4943-8DC3-406472842384] GUID

Here there are the RU links and tutorials and the FPT15 to use :

To make a bios backup, just run by double click Dump.bat program into FPT15 folder, then to reflash back the biosregmod.bin , put it into the folder and run at
same way the Write.bat program.

After Flashing the mod , please make a Bios Menu Tabs Photo and upload here to check that all is ok

Let me know

Can you help me unlock hidden menus? I have a Gigabyte Oled 15 SA and I attempted to use your patch but counldnt find how to use the UEFIPatch program. Here is my unlocked bios backup from FPT

biosreg.bin.zip (5.79 MB)

BDMaster, hi
0. I make backup stock bios Fptw64.exe -d biosorig.bin -bios
1. I found my unlock addresses 0x17 and 0x6DD.
2. Made a bootable USB flash drive with RU.EFI
3. If trying to change 0x17 in Setup, it gives an error (Write variable failed: 0x0000001A), if trying to change 0x17 in PCHSetup, then ok. Reboot and i can restore my stock bios biosorig.bin normal.
P.S. 0x6DD in Setup and PCHSetup = 0

I can not understand unlock or not bios!?!?

- It’s my backup stock (biosorig.bin)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iuHNEcc…iew?usp=sharing

- It’s my mod bios (0x17=00) in PCHSetup (biosunlock.bin)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MhMqSUT…iew?usp=sharing

In bios, I need:
1. Change XMP profile (3200 memory)
2. Settings for IGPU (I need to set DVMT PREALLOCATED = 64, DVMT TOTAL GFX MEMORY = 256, APERTURE SIZE = 256 (or 512 or max)
3. The possibility of undervolt the CPU to reduce the temperature.

4. All other useful settings that I might find useful :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot in advance for your help !!!

Here you go (included patch FB09 SA) :

https://www.mediafire.com/file/cy4lea4j0…+Patch.rar/file

Flash by FPT :

fptw.exe -f biosregmod.bin -bios

Here is explaned the UEFIPatch use :

1. Use Drag’nDrop mode, just drag’n’drop the biosreg.bin (bios backup file) on it and it will give the patched one.

2. Use a Command Line window, just open it from biosreg.bin folder (go to FILE menu tab folder) by PowerShell and then run cmd.exe + Enter, write Uefipatch_039.exe biosreg.bin and it will give the patched one.

!!! IMPORTANT AND AWARE !!!

Look the log anyway and check that the patched offsets are like these :

parseBios: unaligned revision 2 volume
parseFile: non-empty pad-file contents will be destroyed after volume modifications
patch: replaced 2 bytes at offset 4FB60h 1727 → 1127

These have to be in the same format !!!

1827 → 1227

1B27 → 1627
4A10597B0DC0584187FFF04D6396A9151C27 → 000000000000000000000000000000000000

That will means that patched is good :slight_smile:

Hi friend, the BIOS Lock VarOffset - 0x17 is unlocked as you were into wrong GUID “Setup” and not into the right one “PchSetup” , so you have to choice the second to find the var to edit.
You made well to attach the pictures ;), but as the BIOS Lock VarOffset - 0x17 by Default is 0x00 you can try to flash the bios mod also, so here you go :

Try this one , to check if Eeprom is unlocked, then if it’s ok go into bios to check all options and if there aren’t which you find , i will modify to unlock them !
Let me know

BDMaster, THANK YOU VERY MATCH !!!

To all users, when got the Bios Unlocked , please post one photo of it to show to other users the goal to get with it !
Many thanks

Has anyone with an unlocked bios tried disabling optimus? I see that it is warned to not do this as you will get a black screen and need to blind flash or use a spi programmer to fix. Can’t someone just unplug the cmos battery and laptop battery and that should resolve that if it happened?

I just ordered this laptop, and being able to disable optimus would be icing on the cake. Seems that its impossible or rare to find a oled laptop that has a mux or advanced optimus.

I recently bought an Aero 15 OLED KD (11800h and 3060). I’m considering unlocking the BIOS primarily so I can undervolt the CPU through software.

1.) Has anyone successfully modified the Aero 15 OLED KD to use either XTU or ThrottleStop to undervolt the 11800h?

2.) My biggest concern would be losing out on warranty service by modding my BIOS. As long as my laptop is functioning so that I can reflash to the original bios, is there any way for the manufacturer to know I had previously run an unlocked bios and deny warranty service?

Thanks for all the help!

Hi, BDMaster.
In the unlocked BIOS DVMT Pre-Allocation the maximum value is 64 MB, is it possible to make 128 MB?
and section "Display setup menu" - there are no settings. Is that how it should be ?
