    Hello, help me please.

    I tried to unlock v2 bios for P170EM ( P170EM_17_12_PM_v2) by AMIBCP. I made this:
    [​IMG]

    then
    [​IMG]

    and after flashing, I didn't find second paragraph "Main".
    How to unlock Access Level? I really need to get access to memory frequency & timings, cpu cores ratio and tdp limits.

    With MSI GT60 i only made this:
    [​IMG]
    and I've got access to everything

    Doesn't work that way buddy, no tool will help you with that by simply changing some access levels...needs either to be re-build from source or manual internal rewiring.
    Something I don't feel like doing anymore as my experience is that people just take my code, write a tutorial on it, then publish mods which brick systems and Clevo comes knocking at my door because RMA cases sky rock...over time they lock down each gen one step further in the process.

    But tell me pls, this settings works on my GT60 with unlocked bios:
    pos_mod.JPG pos_mod1.JPG pos_mod2.JPG
    I think it should works, will it?
    And one more question, Failsafe means - after bios reset, right? and Optimal means - F9 preset ? Maybe it better set values only in Optimal column?

    Recovery doesn't work on PxxEM models, so I wouldn't try changing too much...

    It's supposed to jump back to failsave if optimal fails, but in reality it often doesn't do that if it isn't an actual BIOS option.
    Also please read the README (TOS) of my mods to NOT edit them any further as they will blame me for bricked boards that they receive. Please ONLY use clean Clevo BIOS for your personal adventures!

    What if i would only change Configurable TDP to TDP UP and Turbo core ratio's (i don't like xtu, and i know right frequencies for my cpu), it wont' make some hurt to bios from you, and i won't blame you anyway, because i understand - its only my own risk, i just trying to take best advice from Guru

    Yep, even just chucking a couple of coins will always show support and help make people see their work is truly appreciated.
