    Just letting everyone know, Svl7 at Techinferno forums has created a modded, unlocked v2.04 BIOS update for everyone with the 500/400 series laptops. This one unlocks everything in the BIOS, and also lets you overclock and change the gpu voltage using software! No need for further mods in the BIOS to tap into the GPU's potential. I can confirm this all works with the 650m y400.

    Could someone please post their clocks speeds for a y500 750m sli? I currently donot have a modded bios and have been using msi afterburner to crank it up to 135+/300+ and curios as to how much it can be tweaked on a modded bios and and what kind performance boost it might give with similar temps...

    There's no difference with the modded BIOS, except that it will allow you to overclock past the +135 MHz core limit, if your GPU can handle it, without having to use .bat files.
    No.
    And no.
