    Hi, I have Studio model 1555 with T6600 and mobility hd 4570 with 512mb gddr3 inside.
    When I try to extract bios, I get a message that bios reading is not supported on device.
    Does anyone have a solution because I want to undervolt gpu from 1.2V to 1 V and write these settings to bios. Works with amd gpu clock tools but goes to default 1.2 V after restart.
    Gpu temps are pretty high; 94+C with undervolted cpu.
    Thanks for help!!! :)

    If its hits 94C, you need to clean out the fan/heatsink, and replace the thermal paste. I recommend Antec Formula 5. It dropped my temps by 8C. Oh and update the bios to the latest version.
