How to OC unlocked CPU in a locked mobo?

Hello all,
Here are my specs:

• Model: Y580
• CPU: 3610QM --swapped with--> 3920XM (QS)
• GPU: PNY GTX 970 4GB via PE4L
• RAM: 2x8 = 16 GB Corsair Vengeance
• SATA: SX300 256 GB mSATA SSD / Kingston HyperX 90GB 2.5" SSD
• OS: Win 8.1 x64 (mSATA) & Win 10 x64 (SATA)
• WIFI: none, I use ethernet
• PSU: 90W --> 120W
• BIOS: v2.07 modded/unlocked by svl7

I recently bought a 3920XM, upgrading from a 3610QM. One of my main reasons for getting the 3920XM, aside from the obvious perf gain, was that it is unlocked. I assumed the Extended ICC in my BIOS would unlock after putting an unlocked cpu in; e.g. a new option would appear (to remove the lock on the unlocked CPU) instead of just the default two for the "Lock ICC Registers" setting, which are 1. Static registers only (default) 2. All ICC registers

I tried Intel XTU and it was nearly just as locked down as it was with the 3610QM, only difference being the ability to decrease (not increase) the turbo multipliers.

In Throttlestop v7.00b3, v6.00 everything remained locked except for " TDP Level Control" which was not present before (not sure what this does either, I'm assuming selects a power plane for something?), its max value is 2. In Throttlestop v5.00, I am able to adjust and increase the multipliers (couldn't with 3610QM obv), but it serves the same purpose as only a cosmetic change.

Before anyone brings this up, I know the TDP for 3920XM is 55 W which is 10 W higher than my previous 3610QM rated at 45W; but I am using a 120 W PSU/charger (from the default 90W), and I disabled the dedicated 660M since I'm using an eGPU w/ gtx 970. So all of that is surely enough to compensate a measly 10W increase. Cooling is sufficient, and CPU temps rarely creep over 75 C staying well below 80 C, and averaging to 70 C. I also tried reflashing BIOS & ME FW to no avail.

What laptop are you using?

 

Y580

I have already flashed that (since day 1) and probably have more posts in that thread than anyone lol. Stock BIOS doesn't even display the extended ICC setting, unlocked bios does, but with extremely limited/non-existent functionality.

 

Yeah Lenovo isn't known for having an Ocing options in their laptops and their BIOS's is locked down.. Throttlestop should allow some Ocing tbh.. have you tried disabling BD Procohot and Procohot etc and trying to see if clocks go up? Also see if anyone can help you in the throttlestop thread..

Alright, thanks for the tip. I thought about posting my question there, but thought this would be the most appropriate place to ask.
(didn't wanna make duplicate threads & spam all over NBR either)
