[Request] Gigabyte G5 KC Bios Unlock/ Mod

[gifulin]

not working

[Sweet_Kitten]

Don’t know why so. The day back I checked if this method works for my pc before sharing with you.

And it kind of worked for a different device.

ASRock X99 - FIVR voltages are not unlocking (not adjustable)

I can setup that value and go back to bios without rebooting and FIVR Configuration shows up, but I believe that the code in BIOS that sets the voltage already executed by that time and if I reboot - the value is back to 0x00 and FIVR Configuration is gone. So I guess we need to figure out how to override that SetupCpuFeatures value before BIOS applies voltages.

I’m out of idea how can I help. Maybe you could execute lines from the .nsh file one by one and see what it does.

Hey @Sweet_Kitten, i just saw today sorry, just XMP, full unlock provides any benfits? Thank you

[Sweet_Kitten]

@AntonioAnjos

full unlock provides any benfits?

If you not aware if there’s any benefit, you’ll find none of it.

Please help me unlock the BIOS of Colorful X15 AT23 (NP50RND) with 12450h and 4060 to configure the processor and memory.

@KAPTOIIIKA

Please help me unlock the BIOS of Colorful X15 AT23

Recently I saw a posting about unlocking this model with runtime patcher. You’ll need to boot from a flash drive every time you want to access unlocked bios. You ok with this?

[KAPTOIIIKA]

Thanks a lot. I’ll try and write back.

[KAPTOIIIKA]

I tried it. After the first command ecflash, the laptop turned off and would not turn on again. What programmer and spin do you recommend flashing and what BIOS?

[Sweet_Kitten]

So you followed the posted instructions?
I only asked if you’re ok with booting from a flash drive. I did not know if the post safe to follow. It’s not my work.

@KAPTOIIIKA

What programmer and spin do you recommend flashing and what BIOS?

You need no BIOS file but EC firmware file.

[KAPTOIIIKA]

@Sweet_Kitten

So you followed the posted instructions?

Yes.

@Sweet_Kitten

It’s not my work.

I know. I have no complaints against you. Please explain in detail about EC firmware, and what I need to do to restore the laptop?

[Sweet_Kitten]

@KAPTOIIIKA

what I need to do to restore the laptop?

Don’t know how you are going to rewrite flash memory.
128kb EC firmware can be found by this link.

[KAPTOIIIKA]

Please explain in more detail.

[Sweet_Kitten]

No detail for you. Don’t want to help with repair.

[AntonioAnjos]

Hello @Sweet_Kitten sweet, just for XMP unlock, what do i need?
Thank you.

[Sweet_Kitten]

@AntonioAnjos

juts for XMP unlock, what do i need?

Follow the instruction. The link should bring you to the specific subtitle. If browser not re-directs you, look for “How to change hidden settings without flashing a modded BIOS”.

Is there a similar method for the Gigabyte G6 KF that you’re aware of Sweet_Kitten (same 12650H CPU but with 4060 GPU)?

[TFang]

Does a unlocked BIOS for the Gigabyte G5 KD allow you to do anything special execpt from cpu under/overclocking? Maybe something gpu related? @Sweet_Kitten

[Revko32]

hi, help, the laptop does not turn on, g5 ke, I need a bios backup for the programmer @Sweet_Kitten

After flashing this to my G5 KC (RTX 3060) to an existing FB08 BIOS my laptop now works for a minute or two, then the fans go to 100% and the laptop switches off after about another minute, as if it is overheating. Even setting the fan at Windows boot to 100% using the Fan Control from Gigabyte doesn’t help.
But the laptop is not hot at all, and did not express such behavior prior to flashing.

Restoring the settings to defaults helped.

Anyway, I can’t find the undervolting menu, where is it located?

Searching the thread has answered all my questions.

[VasiliiNorris]

Hmm. Even after enabling the XTU interface in BIOS and disabling all the VBS settings I still can’t undervolt my 10500H neither in ThrottleStop nor in XTU because in XTU all the voltages are greyed out and in ThrottleStop only the CPU Core offset is changed but not the CPU Cache (even if I apply the offset for the GPU Cache, nothing happens).

What else did I forget to enable?
