    Can anyone get ahold of a G51 modified BIOS? Or plan on coding it themselves? I would really like to get one. I know this machine has more in it. Need to up the volts a little bit.

    It would take a loooooooooooooong time to code a single bios...
    Why do you want a hacked bios?

    Need to adjust the voltage for higher clock speeds. I know it would take a load time to code a single bios. That's why i was asking if someone had a hacked bios. I'm able to get the BB g51 to 2.7 no wear near stable though...

    Wouldn't you be able to raise the voltage using this program?
    RMClock

    I suppose so but anyways, the P7350 has half multipliers which RMClock doesn't support so you'll end up losing some speed which kinda counters the benefit you gained from OCing.

    You could try alternative voltage control software, such as CrystalCPUID.

    Tried that. For some reason i can't get the Vcore to change at all.

    Do you mean that any higher voltages than the base are "locked" and you can't chose them?

    You can bypass it by editing the .ini file that lists starting parameters for the program. There are 3 values where its like (Min/Mid/Max)FIDVoltage:#. The # isn't a voltage, but a number that they assigned to the voltage. Lets say that 1.250V, the P7350 default voltage, has a value of 30 there. Just change everything to 31, save the file and when you start CPUID again, it'll list the voltage change. I did it to try to underclock and although it went unstable for me, I believe CPUZ did register the voltage change.
