No, it's only usable with the E5-572G.

This one actually removed the 135MHz-limit for me. Thank you so much! I'll send you a donation in the next few days for the great work. If you don't mind and if it's possible, could you also unlock the power- and temperature-target sliders and make the voltage slider usable (voltages aren't applied currently)?

Thank you very much! The VBios works fine, but sadly the 135MHz OC-limit is still in place for me (see screenshot). I'm using this VBios with a Nvidia 840M GPU as both cards have the same chip/are just differing in clocks (IDs adapted, graphics are working fine) and I wanted to have the greater boost table. Also (unlike this 940MX VBios) the original 840M VBios had a hard lock at 900MHz memory clock that I couldn't change with the Maxwell Bios Tweaker. Do you have another idea on how to remove the limit?

@Klem Hi, would you be so kind to unlock the VBios of the 940MX graphics card for me? It's from a Lenovo T560 notebook. 940MX VBIOS.rar

Update: BIOS 1.09c is now available! Changes: Changed Nvidia GPU idle voltage from 0,94V to a more correct value of 0,76V - thanks to Maison1 from win-raid.com for bringing this matter to my attention Unlocked all sliders in the Nvidia VBIOSes for editing with Maxwell II BIOS Tweaker - thanks to WerePug from overclock.net for posting the way to do this

Update: BIOS 1.09b is now available! Changes: Unlocked a few more options that I missed before - everything that can be unlocked should be available now Overclocking enabled ME is now included by default (no disadvantages for HM86 notebooks) Applied a few useful BIOS patches by CodeRush (Unlock CPU Power Management Register (useful for Hackintosh Users)/Disable BIOS Lock/Disable SMI Lock)

Hello, I want to share the modded Bios I created for the Acer Aspire E5-572G notebook. The official bios 1.09 was used as a base. I'm offering three flavours: Microcode 01, Microcode 07 and Microcode 21. Microcode 21 is the latest available microcode, this is the Bios you want to use unless you want the special properties of the other microcodes. Microcode 07 is the latest microcode that allows using the full turbo clock speed on all cores (using single core turbo with all cores). Microcode 01 is the one you should take if you want to try this. I wasn't able to get it to work on mine (i5 4210m, HM86), but your mileage may vary. In case you want to always use an older microcode, I'm offering a script for windows that'll keep the OS from using a newer microcode (compatible with Windows Vista to Windows 10). Frequency and other things can be set up with ThrottleStop (use the latest version). I've also included an overclocking enabled ME firmware that should (hopefully) allow overclocking on the HM87 equipped notebooks. There are two flavours of this notebook available: Ones that use the HM87 chipset and others that use the HM86 chipset. Overclocking is only possible with HM87 as HM86 isn't capable of overclocking (tested it myself). Additionally I offer a collection of Bios, EC, ME and FD files of this device, in case anyone wants to experiment with these for a bit (EC Modding, etc.). I will update this bios in case there are newer parts available. Any feedback is welcome! Features: -Advanced Bios Options unlocked (Advanced, Power tabs and additional options in the existing tabs) -Nvidia 840M/940M VBioses replaced with adapted 940MX VBios with unlocked TDP Limit, unlocked Boost Table and some OC (1306,5MHz GPU/1070MHz Memory - with general usability in mind) + all voltage sliders unlocked -Intel Management Engine: Updated to 9.1.37.1002 + All Locks Unlocked + Overclocking Enabled For HM87 Notebooks + PAVP (Protected Audio/Video Path) Enabled -Flash Descriptor unlocked -Microcode updated to version 21 (respectively downgraded to 07 and 01) -Intel GOP Driver updated to 5.5.1033 -Intel VGA Bios updated to 1042 -Intel RST OROMs updated to 15.1.0.2545 -Realtek Lan OROMs updated to 2.037/2.64 -Applied a few useful BIOS patches by CodeRush (Unlock CPU Power Management Register (useful for Hackintosh Users)/Disable BIOS Lock/Disable SMI Lock) Flash procedure: 1. Copy the BIOS file to an empty and with FAT16/32 formatted usb stick. 2. Unplug the AC adapter. 3. Remove the battery of the notebook - you can unlock the battery on the backside. 4. Plug in the USB flash disk. 5. Press and hold <Fn> and <Esc>, and then plug in the AC adapter while still holding <Fn> and <Esc>. 6. Press the Power button. You can now stop holding <Fn> and <Esc>. 7. The BIOS flash should now begin, the fans will spin up at max speed and the power led should blink. It should take between one to two minutes. 8. After everything is done, you can reinsert the battery and go to the BIOS (F2). There you may want to change some settings (the BIOS flash erases all previously chosen settings).
