    This BIOS Fixes issues where Turbo Boost does not go to FULL boost!

    I was getting a max of 2.7 ghz. in Turbo Boost and now it's all unlocked :D

    Deleted as its not an official BIOS

    Disclaimer: Flashing to the BIOS below is at your own risk and will void your warranty as it is not officially released by Lenovo yet, so don't flash to this BIOS Unless you are sure what you are doing, or your warranty is expired already, or you are expert enough to know how to flash back to and older BIOS should the need arise for any warranty claims. It is possible to flash to an older BIOS at a later stage but it is a hassle and involves manually flashing using a USB stick in DOS

    Watch the Turbo Boost going to full speed when installing an application or running a CPU intensive app :D
