  1. I can confirm WLAN whitelist is still removed in the newest F.66 BIOS from 2017 (using intel 7260ac card) Also can somebody explain to me why it is implied in first post that CPU power is somehow limited by BIOS? Every test I do clearly shows same results of i7-3740qm as reported by other tested machines (W530 and T530 for example). I know programs such as hwmonitor doesn't report "full" 45W of power drain during maximum CPU load, but according to all my tests of pre-haslel CPUs this is normal and expected. This changed in Haslel and newer architectures. Here's the screenshot: Keep in mind all cores are clocked at 3.4GHz as this is how Turbo mode works. 3.7GHz turbo clock is only available on one core if it's fully loaded. So nothing is limited, even in case of i7-3940xm CPU as long as 90W PSU is connected and there is a working battery present. After modding cooling system a little bit (enlarged heatpipe with parts of 3mm soldered copper plates, another 3mm copper plate covering entire heatsink from above - mounted with mixed epoxy and mx4 paste - plus additional fan inflow from keyboard + coollaboratory pro paste used on the CPU and notebookfan control used with unlocked highest available fan states). Temperature NEVER goes higher than 93C degrees, no throttling of any kind detected (should occur at ~101C degrees) Of course temps are even lower when eGPU is used, as iGPU has it's own part in overall TDP. I can also confirm 2133MT/s (1066MHz) RAM works flawlessly in 2570p. After switch from 1600MT/s modules I did note about 35% of FPS increase in source-based games, such as Contagion and L4D2, which is pretty impressive for this old HD4000 iGPU. Geekbench benchmarks: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/3160329 - CPU test alone, no eGPU used - 12597 multicore points, which is almost same as ThinkPad P50 Xeon https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/compute/844456 - eGPU test (GTX960, 4GB, slight OC) - 80818 points, seems to be about 95% of typical GTX950 4GB results on GeekBench https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/compute/844263 - iGPU test (HD4000, 1.30GHz, 2133MT/s RAM) - 6953 points If anyone has any questions I'll be happy to answer.
  2. ii. Remove the Setup 1.x bootitem from bootmgr bootmenu with c:eGPUuninstall-disk-image iii. Download BootICE v1.30 or newer iv. Configure the options as shown here Does anyone still have this picture or instructions on how to configure properly bootloader to automatically load DIY eGPU image, run the script and then chainload bootmgr? For now I have to manually pick eGPU option from bootmgr and after that pick windows option. I want everything automated.
