Thank you kind Sir!

No you need to buy a 42mm SATA M.2 NGFF SSD (ie M.2 2242).

I did the same thing overclocking my GT750 on my y510p because the stock performance wasn't very good on the games i was playing. I started to get some artefacts and after about 2 years my laptop refused to switch on - dead gpu. I have had the laptop GPU re-flowed twice and both times it lasts about a month before it stops turning on again. In the end i bought a cheap second hand replacement motherboard. A repair shop told me that its not so much the solder balls getting damaged but the over-clocking combined with rubbish OEM cooling systems which shortens the GPU operating lifetime. i.e. if you do a reflow at low temperature e.g. 150 degrees this will bring the GPU back to life yet the melting point of the balls on the BGA package should be much closer to 200. I will never overclock a notebook gpu again, on the desktop it doesn't matter because it is "relatively" cheap to replace and doesn't affect the motherboard.

Out of interest are these files pre-patched with the whitelist removed?

Hi, i am interested in how this works out. I too have a bricked motherboard as a result of flashing. It came second-hand with a very old bios version and i tried to update it. There seams to be a couple of websites that provide the EC and BIOS files but they are behind a subscription. In the end I sent my motherboard back for the seller to re-soldier me some new chips but at first he did mention that if I buy a heat gun and a cheap programmer I could probably do this myself. The other option would be to find someone selling a pair pre-programmed chips, which from what i see are not much more expensive than subscribing to get the bios files. I hope all goes well for you
