Hi,

TheLaw, did you manage to dump the bios?

I'm also really interrested in having a modded bios (to OC the 640M over 135mhz)...

I have a U2442N too, but i don't have the right to access the tools of slv7.

Can I help in any other way?

Yeah, PM him for access I guess and follow the post he instructed. I can't get it to work and don't have the time to attempt it for a month or so.

There's a reason why I'm asking for the dump. It's not just to bother you.

Also the tool works.

Haha, I know! I didn't mean it like that bro. I'm not able to pull the BIOS though, still getting the error ( I followed your instructions to the T). Perhaps there is a way to dump the BIOS without booting into the OS?

I would be so happy if someone could turn the temperature the fan begins to spin higher. I would do the bios dump, but somehow I dont have permission to download the tool you linked.

I tried the tool and it doesn't seem to work. Amal77 was able to mod our bios straight from the file Gigabyte offers. Slv7, is that possible in this case?

Bump, a lot of owners having been dying for these tweaks for almost a year (fail Gigabyte). I'd do this myself if I had the knowledge/skill. Is anyone willing to help?

Fans will be controlled by the EC BIOS (BIOS for the chipset's ARM processor), which is embedded within the system BIOS, not the video BIOS.

I understand, the BIOS I've linked holds both BIOS.

Is there any chance I could get our latest BIOS modded to OC the 640M to around 1000 core and also reduce the temp that the fans spin up? Gigabyte has done a horrible job with fan control, they set the fans to trigger below idle CPU temps, so the fans spin up erratically in an attempt to cool the CPU.

Thanks in advance!

Here you go, I hope this is what you need.

I have the latest bios from Gigabyte:

GIGABYTE - Notebook / Slate & Device - Notebook & Netbook - U series - U2442N

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem. Send me a link to the latest original BIOS and a GPU-Z screenshot and I'll take a look at it when I find time.

Ok sounds great! I'll get right on it when I get home. Thank you.

Max overclock is B.S. granted the 640m-660m are the same card. Hopefully I can get my Gigabyte u2442n 650m modded.

Hi all,

Prema from noteookreview managed to pull the vbios out for my U2442. Apparently Gigabyte has split the integrated bios into two parts. The GPU is a Kepler GT 640m DDRIII 2 gig. Would it be possible to mod it into a 650m or even 660m? From what I hear the 640m/650m/660m are essentially the same gpu.

Thanks in advance everyone!
