The problem is flashing, from the testing so far I currently have no way for you guys to flash the modified bios without a hardware mod or soldering.

And I don't have a machine to test my ideas myself... that's another difficulty.

If you want a bios chip with an unlocked bios let me know, I'll sell you one, but this would require soldering.

I appreciate the offer, however, I don't know if I feel comfortable soldering on the board just yet. I also am not the best at soldering so there is no guarantees I wont screw it up :).

If you happen to figure out a flash method, I will help you out. Just let me know.

Thanks again for the offer.

Hello slv7,

Do you still plan on flashing the AW 14 A03 bios to unlock more features? I feel like I can get more out of it if I can do some modest BCLK overclocking to my i7 4700. Please let us all know. Thank you.
