Kind Regards Larting You don't need to mod the bios to take advantage of the Intel Turbo Boost feature of the CPU on the IdeaPad Y500. All you need to do is get Throttlestop, set the multipliers to a suitable level below 34 that won't raise the core temperatures above 105 degrees Celsius, and uncheck the box for "BD PROCHOT". Also, I will also mention something went wrong with the multipliers when I first used Throttlestop, and it tried to overclock my CPU to 6.0 ghz by mistake once. I'm not sure about using speeds beyond 3.4 ghz if you are seeking to do that because I've never tried it. There are some posts I saw in Y500 unlocked bios thread about raising TDP, etc, and stuff like that: I actually didn't get my Y500 bios mod files from here. I got them from a link someone uploaded to some website: http://thaisarn.net/clipsingle/Pk4oMcEs4MM I did a successful bios recovery on my laptop using an LED flash drive formatted to FAT32. I used the backup I made prior to flashing the modded bios using the file name "QIWY3.BIN" and the same bios recovery method that was used to do a bios recovery for the Y510P that is described here: http://blog.jimsjump.com/2016/02/07/lenovo-y510p-v305-bios-bricked-crisis-recovery-solved/ This bios recovery method wasn't well-documented, and wasn't easy to find on the net. It was also for a Y510p, but it also works on the Y500 and Y400 if you use the right recovery name. This should save you a lot of trouble.

I downloaded some files from here as well after I was permitted to do so, but there seems to be a limit of 5 files per month. I thought my original wait time was 24 hours from the time of downloading my first 5 files, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcc1911 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Just to share that i myself am not a very tech savvy person. I found after the BIOS tweak, MSI afterburner offers the most simplified approach compared to inspector. It is a free software, but do take care not to mess too much with the Voltage thingy. It is generally risky. I learned that the hard way. haha. Hopefully no one falls into the same trap as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suckitbych Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I am also a new member waiting to be promoted to access these files. I have an intel 7260 ac card coming in the mail next week and I was looking to prepare my bios in time for its arrival so it's just plug and play. anyway, I looked at the y500 white list removal thread as I was wondering how you remove the whitelist after modifying the bios. is there a particular setting you must change in the bios? or does this mod remove the whitelist automatically? thanks SIB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suckitbych Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Awesome, just one more question as I am quite new to flashing bios firmware. Would I be able to flash the firmware back to 2.02 (or whatever the modified firmware version it is to remove whitelist) if I have a more current version? e.g v3.0??

Extract attached archive directly on the Desktop and run utility as Administrator (right click mouse, choice "Run as Administrator"). Utility will create archive "results" directly on the Desktop. Post here this archive "results", or upload it into any fileserver and send me the link. https://www.sendspace.com/file/mxoavw or http://www120.zippyshare.com/v/NC9WuxRI/file.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are glad to provide bios backup and would pay for the efforts, because i need to change the wireless card to a better one (intel 2230N to ac7260) and as far as i know there's a whitelist limiter.
