Any updates svl7?

Yup. I can achieve 135core/275mem boosts via inspector. SVL7's BIOS can achieve higher core clocks (which is what you want since this is basically a underclocked GT650/660 IIRC).

Have you tried the modified vbios yet? I'm just waiting until someone confirms that it works with the Windows 8 version 2.13.

glad to hear you got it fixed. What version of windows are you running and how old is your laptop? Mine is 30 days old so I'm crossing my fingers for a reworked UEFI W8 new 2.1x BIOS one day.

I'm running Windows 8 64-bit, with Bios 2.13. My laptop is around fourth months old so it's still running beautifully. I can manage to get +135mhz on core and a bit on memory using MSI Afterburner.

schranzmaster: tell your brother, grats. Yes, SLV7's bios seem to work great with I5s and I7s. However, there has been issues with the new UEFI/Windows 8 one to my knowledge.

Dustin: Fparts.txt should be in the compressed archive. It was there for me. Are you sure you uncompressed it properly?

I'm quite certain that I compressed the archive properly. I see fparts.txt right inside my Fptw64 folder.

EDIT: Actually, it works now. Must have been a path problem, so I just put all the files to the my System32 folder and it recognized it. Now, I can flash the modified bios for 2.13. Did anyone else try this yet and has it worked successfully? I just want to make sure that I don't brick my laptop .

schranzmaster: What version bios were you using? Are you using the Windows 7 version of this laptop?

i'm sorry, but I think you should wait for the advice of an expert. ( @svl7 )

because i just downloaded this file Downloads and extractet it to the desktop.

closed all programs and runned the flash tool... and it works without any error:o

maybe your BIOS version is to new? what do you got for a BIOS installed?

I have version 2.13. So I found out the error, it's really weird:

Error 75: "fparts.txt" file not found.

The file seems to be there, I don't know why I'm getting that error. So as of now, I can't even make a dump of my bios. Here's my info.txt:

yeah, hello guys!

my brother has got the Acer V3-571G. (i5-3210m, 8GB RAM, GT640m) so i told him that there is a nice vbios for the gt640m.

i flashed it for him...

and it works pretty well!!

games run much smoother now!

BIG THANKS AGAIN svl7, for the great work!!!

Could you list out the steps you took to flash the modified bios? For some reason, I'm always encountering errors. When running the flash tool, I get Error 200: Invalid parameter value specified by user. Use -? option to see help. I'm pretty new at this stuff, so it'd be great to get a step-by-step procedure for us non-techies heh.

It's great news that everything works fine for your brother though! I'm excited to hopefully get it running on mine.

ahhhh thank you David. I got the backup & dump and everything to work now. I'm using the 64bit program to try to install the 213mod but it gave me a error 28 (need to use DOS, like you said). However, I think I'll wait. Could you let me know if you get anything accomplished? I would appreciate it. Let me know if I can assist too!

FYI if it helps: Got error 28 when trying fptw64 -f v213biosmod.bin -bios through an elevated CMD window. IT said " PDR and GBE region do not exist". Again, might be a windows vs dos thing. Thought i'd say regardless.

I'm getting this exact error! Let me know if there's anything I can do!

Acer's are super cheap considering what you can run on it. I'm perfectly satisfied with mine .

I'm also getting an error. Ahh, so close to getting this to work!! Great job

is this ver modded?

I don't think this is. Insomnio is just posting a 2.14 BIOS for svl7 to hopefully mod.

I also have 2.13. Is there any way I can help? I really would like to unlock this overclock limit :/
