AMIBCP is available now, but opening the BIOS in it isn’t due to some string in the BIOS is messed up so I can’t open it in there properly
@Lost_N_BIOS , @Blossomcrown : Thank you very much for the modded bios and the efi vars. I have finally found some time to test the modded bios and sucessfully set the turbo multi for 1-Core to 4,0GHz and 3,8GHz for the others.
Now it is time for some test 
Dear @Lost_N_BIOS ,i’ve finally understand what you meant “a TPM module”.
On my Precision M6700 there is a specific 1/2 mini card slot with Mini PCI-E interface that is reserved for a so called “Dell encryption module”.I’ll try to get one,see if it can activate TPM function and then report back.
-update-
i opened up the other tpm-enabled machine and didnt see any module on that 1/2 slot, meanwhile i cant find any mini pci-e encryption card on neither ebay nor aliexpress, so im pretty confused now.
hmmmm, maybe still a bios related problem?
@Blossoncrown - yes, that sounds similar, but not exact same thing I mentioned. It doesn’t go into a 1/2 card slot (Whatever you mean by that, Mini PCIE I suppose?)
Normal TPM I’ve always seen on any board, the device plugs into a header similar to COM port or a USB onboard header, but it has it’s own pinout and larger size than those. I gave links on page 5 post 62 to device I mean, there you can see how it connects, like a USB block header
Hey @Blossomcrown ,
I own the same laptop , and am curious about how far you can push the 3940xm on stock volts.
My laptop is currently equipped with the 3740qm and K4000m (heavily overclocked on a custom bios). I want to try to squeeze more power out of it by upgrading to a 3920xm/3940xm and replace the GPU with a 980m . Should cost about 400 bucks in all for the parts.
Can you hit over 4.0Ghz? It seems like fairly meager gains compared to the stock 3.9 turbo maximum. I’m trying to decide if it is worth it to sink more money into this laptop, or sell it and get something newer.
Thanks!
Hi there,
Full core @ 4.1GHz work for me,and before you hit 81.25W power limit you should already encountered TJMax.
For daily use i just maintain full core @ 4.0GHz,getting about 10% more performance than stock full core @3.7GHz.
Personally i want to use this machine for one or two more years , then replace it with upcoming 10nm processors or Ryzen counterparts.
From what I know,suggest you just pull up 4x multiplier for your 3740QM (which means 4.1GHz for single freq and 3.9GHz full core) .I think that’s good enough , no need to buy an expensive 39x0XM. Meanwhile,GTX980M or M5000M is the best graphics card you can get for PremierColor version of M6700 so i think it’s good.
Remember,replace whole thing or not still up to your need,that’s your call.
Hi from here too Blossomcrown.
Ihave M6700 with i7-3720qm and want little power on it. I have thinking to buy xm prosessor, but
what you say abaut it? I have now GTX980m and very happy abaut it. Can you make custom bios
so i can push little bit more power to my 3720qm??
Hey there! I just signed up for this Forum because i screwed myself over…
After flashing the modbios from @Lost_N_BIOS and setting the NVRAM variables i rebooted and wanted to re-set some settings in the bios.
I noticed that all the options were grayed out and that an Admin password is suddenly set.
Do you maybe know some way to get out of this and get the admin PW unset?
I do have a SPI Flasher as well.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Nevoness
Edit:
I forgot to mention: I cant even use the grub setup_var anymore, since im stuck in UEFI - Secureboot ON mode and cant change that without the "admin password"
Windows still boots though
Edit2: Figured out thaz the bios in Post #17 has a bios PW set. Managed to reflash my bios using SuperUEFIinsecureBoot and fpt.
@Lost_N_Bios, could you please mod my backup? Would be awesome to have the MSR 0x194 unlocked.
BACKUP.zip (5.84 MB)
@neovness - Great to see you found a way to get back your original BIOS!! 
Please confirm, what all do you need edited in above file, just the MSR 0x194 edit, or anything else too?
Also, please dump both chips and upload somewhere for me, I can’t edit just the one chip, this BIOS is split in the middle across both chips.
* Edit - Ohh, so the above is FPT Full BIOS dump, not programmer. Can you flash back full BIOS with FPT? If yes, OK, I can edit like this and send back to you 
I can flash it with FPT without issues.
Thankfully SuperUEFIinsecureBoot allows you to execute any .efi file including the modified grub and the EFI shell for FPT, even with secureboot on 
Since im now back on my Original bios i have no issues at all flashing with FPT.
Would be awesome if you could edit it for me.
Your BIOS works perfectly!
Thanks a ton that you could mod mine.
I do have another question tho:
Would it be possible to mod the CPU Power Limits?
Since i have liquid metaled my CPU, it usually stays quite cool even under full load, sustaining 3.6ghz+ allcore would be amazing, since right now i hit a brick wall at 3.7GHz with the cpu drawing 55W
@neovness - You’re welcome, and thanks for the report back!! Good to here you were able to sort out the rest of the stuff in OS that makes this work
I see TC1/TC2/TSP values (currently set to 1/5/10) that you can change that may affect this. This is ACPI Passive Cooling Formula values
I also see Active/Passive thermal trip points (71C/79C) for MCH and PCH (same for both)
Ohh! Maybe found it, but looks to be set to zero… 
Long Duration Power Limit
Long Duration Maintained
Short Duration Power Limit
I believe those ^^ are what is often PL1/PL2 in other BIOS
You can change this via grub / setup_var possibly, if not, then use RU - For both, use the (VarOffset/VarName) value, and the VarStore Value tells you what area of NVRAM to edit (if using RU, if VarStore not “Setup” then you can use setup_var)

^^ So, setup, meaning setup_var “May” be able to change them all, if not use RU method, see section 2.2 and make bootable USB with RU program, then read 2.3-2.5
Sorry, yes, I checked current applied value for NVRAM for Long Duration Power Limit, Long Duration Maintained, and Short Duration Power Limit, and all are set to 00
So this is either controlled by one of the other settings mentioned above, such as TC1/TC2/TSP, or possibly in the EC FW

Dear @Lost_N_BIOS and @Blossomcrown
Please, help me ! Please ! My M6700 with 3940XM and K5000M.
I’ve been struggling for the past week trying to find a way to unlock MSR 0x194 for my 3940XM. (I am also very happy and grateful to @pseudodeed for his VGA Bios mod for K5000M)
Previously I used Thinkpad T430 with 3840QM, with guidance from a kind person, it reached single core 4.2Ghz and all core 4.0Ghz.
I just changed to M6700 one month ago and am very confused.
Please help me,please ! How can I maximize the power of my 3940XM. Please give me a little time. Extremely grateful. Wish you a thousand good things. 
I tried to download the file in post #17 but all links die :’(
I’m currently looking for a way to back up my current Bios. To post here with earnest hope of help.
Please guide me how to unlock and overclock my Dell M6700 with 3940XM and K5000M.
Extremely grateful.
