If you can’t create a dump with Gpu-z then the gpu doesn’t have a separate bios chip. Your gpu vbios is likely part of the main motherboard bios.

Well no the problem is that igpu has to be disabled to go higher. On a laptop, (even ones with dgpu) , everything it routed through the igpu. Hdmi, display port, other graphics cards, etc. So disabling the igpu would make the laptop useless basically. Unless you run an external gpu. Then you could get around all that and overclock higher. I’m not entirely sure if changing the multipliers is possible. HWinfo64 says that the single core max is unlocked for me. I’ve not been able to pass the x35 multiplier. Maybe possible to adjust the turbo multipliers through hex? Just a thought.

Alright good deal. I was gonna say that the region locks were at the beginning of the Descriptor region. (Not entirely sure on Asus tho) Glad you got it sorted out. Once dump your bios, you can edit whatever you’d like. Just be careful flashing it back. You will probably get an error along the lines of “pdr and gbe regions do not exist....” this is normal. You can also use the -BIOS to dump just the bios region of you need. (FPTW -d whatever.bin -BIOS) Hope this helps!

If your bios is already unlocked, you can skip to dumping and editing the bios. No need to find the bios lock, that was only for the MSI lock. You should be able to dump with FPTW -d whatever.bin. That will make a full 8mb dump. Just make sure your bios is aptio V as I am not sure with ASUS. Open a command prompt and type in "systeminfo". This will tell you if the bios is american megatrends or not. Also I couldn't get bclk past 102.7 without disabling the integrated graphics (basically renders any laptop useless). But a 3% increase in speed is helpful for sure. And maybe in the future when the laptop is outdated, you could run an eGpu and OC the cpu much higher. Raising Bclk also overclocks the ram, but if you follow most of the guide, I explain how to unlock it also so you can make necessary changes to the ram to compensate.

Can confirm that base clock over clocking still works in 2018. Having issues with mine as I cannot get it to go above 102Mhz and not crash. Thinking it has to do with igpu. Was done on an MSI ge72 with a 6th gen skylake 6700hq. Any help as far as Overclocking it is welcome.
