Can you do the undervolting etc. without first flashing the modded BIOS? Even with the mentioned software, I mean.

Yes, I could undervolt the CPU with Intel XTU with stock unmodified bios, and underclock it with Throttle Stop. I haven't tried it with the GPU yet.

Depends on what you're looking for. The advanced menus do have some thermal configuration like specific temperatures when to activate fans but I think someone reported that changing those values don't make a difference. Other stuff you can do is undervolt using nvidia inspector/intel XTU (i would stay away from the voltage/OC settings in the bios). Another useful thing with the bios mod I've found is disabling hyperthreading has allowed me to undervolt further than before, reducing temps even more. Whether or not you need HT is up to you, I just found that my games dont benefit or get hindered from HT.

Thanks for your information, I hoped that thoose options would save my life

I think I'll wait for other people's opinions before flashing my BIOS, until then I'll stick to underclocking and undervolting.

Hi!

I have a question about this BIOS mod. As far as I understand this mod opens some advanced menus, and as I saw it on the video in post #1 there is a possibility of changing the cooling characteristics of the laptop. So with this mod, can I have cooler temperatures?

Hi!

I'm new on this forum, I found it because I want my y510p to run on cooler temperatures. If I use it for gaming or video rendering, the CPU and the GPU gets very hot, the computer reaches 92+ celsius.(I have the i5 4200m, 1xNV GT755m model) If I understood, this modified BIOS has unlocked advanced menus and in one of theese I can change the cooling behaviour. Is this true?

Thanks for your help!
