@dsanke Thing is I’ve seen people with I7-8750h and 9750h overclock their rams with the unlocked bioses to 3200+MHZ. So I was wondering whether its a limitation of the i5 variant that doesnt allow an increase in memory speeds
Hi @Lost_N_BIOS
i appreciate your work and would ask, if i could get an unlocked Bios for my Acer Predator 317-53, too. I’m new to this kind of stuff, so please don’t blame me 
And sorry in advance for the bad english of mine and the questions i may have … 
The link to the bios downloadpage is h t t p s : / /w w w.acer .com/ac/de/DE/content/support-product/8051?b=1 there is always a space between the first few letters and 3 spaces between acer and .com, because the forum didn’t let me post the complete link, not enough posts … .
My vars are attached below, it worked in 3 files.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day
Regards
DaFeu
vars 100.00.16.11.txt (208 KB)
vars 100.0.9.2.txt (207 KB)
vars 100.00.16.08.txt (208 KB)
@DaFeu - Thank you! You’re English seems fine 
Please put all those in a zip, and tell me what BIOS version you are using now
@Lost_N_BIOS Thank you!
I’m using the latest BIOS Version 1.12
Zip Link: h t t p ://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=77246703948599184093 same as the last time: one space between the first few letters of the link.
Thanks for your time!
@DaFeu - Thanks, I just copy this part and away we go >> s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=77246703948599184093
You’re welcome! Please wait a sec, and we can get this done right now 
* Edit - Please fix above upload / re-upload proper package
There is only one vars.txt in folder 100.00.16.08, one folder is empty, and other folder has log file only 
@Lost_N_BIOS here the new link, hope everything ist ok now s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=02094982249567218857
Thanks - you can post links now
OK, please refresh this page in about 2-3 minutes, I will edit in here next step for you
* Edit - @DaFeu - Please drop this modified vars into H2OUVE_100.0.9.2 folder, then run this command >> H2OUVE.exe -sv varsM.txt
There will be long list of success/fail, reboot once that is done.

Then do step #1 of spoiler below and send me the file. I will edit this and send back to you in minute or two, then you will flash it back using step #2 and the new file name (I will rename too, so you know it’s mod file)
Use a new file name, if you have biosreg.bin in your FPT folder from earlier, use new name like biosregnew.bin
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 " )

@Lost_N_BIOS Thanks, here is the link for the new biosreg http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=14690906901112255882 thanks for doing your magic
@DaFeu - You’re welcome! 
Here’s your unlocked BIOS, flash it back via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregnewmod.bin

*** 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 DaFeu at Win-RAID.com forum, DO NOT USE THIS BIOS!!
If you do, and you are not DaFeu, then you will loose your serial, UUID, OG NVRAM, and possibly LAN MAC ID as well.
You have been warned!!!
@Lost_N_BIOS Thank you very much, but the link dosen’t work, it says: File ID is not correct. File doesn’t exist.
@Lost_N_BIOS everything works just fine, the hidden menu’s are now visible! Tank you very much!! You are the best!!
@DaFeu - You’re welcome! Thanks for the quick test and report back, happy to hear all is well with the unlock
@Lost_N_BIOS man I’ve been following this thread since I purchased my Helios 300 and you really need to be commended for all the work you’ve been doing for people in this forum!! I was wondering if you could help me too.
Should I start by following the steps you decribe on post #690? The title is “Dump bios region w/FPT”. Once I dump, zip and upload the files, can you please modify them for me?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for late answering LOST : mine is an I7 9750H - looking at intel specs on its website : 128 GB is tha upper limit !
undervolted @ -165mV cache/ cpu and uncore @ + 120 mV for tweaking DDR4 @ 3500 mhz
Ah and buddies play with IMONSLOPE in UEFI (now cpu is pulling 85W not 45W PL1 not trotthling @ 4ghz always) - repasted with liquid metal !
look this thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/MSILaptops/comm…weak_undervolt/
“What the IMON tweak actually does is that, it adds offset to the reported TDP, say if at full load you’ll reach 70W, eventually when the 28 seconds limit is reached, it’ll be brought down to 45W, but with IMON tweak, let’s say you have an offset of -31999, the CPU will see 70W with an offset of -32W, which will be seen as 38W to the CPU, 38W is still less than the 45W limit, so the CPU will not activate the 45W limit.”
! Thanks for your help, patience & support mate MERY X-MAS ALL !!!
Without you this project could not be done …
Iam done with this laptop after 1 year of tweaking it ! this is the end for me ! RIG is COMPLETED !
My I7 9750H @ uncore +125 mV and 16GB kingston 2666 mhz overclocked @ 3600 mhz CL21 (21-21-48-28- 65535-580 / sub 10.10.20)
Hehe sweaty sweety 
RAM STICKZ ! 1GHZ overclocked for free (1 year long tweaking these ) …
Massive 12 GB/S more bandwith ! an the 9750H loves bandwith (3-7 extra fps with games)
Hello please help me to mode and unlock all my bios settings my laptop is predator 2020 with rtx 2060 and i7 10th and i will be more than happy to donate
