david bittner Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi, just install it manually. Check the name of your wifi and bluetooth adapters and download drivers up to date from atheros. I have this notebook too with this bios mode overclocked on 1114 / 1250 more than two months and without any problems. 3DMark 11 - some about 2700 points. Edit: I forgot to say big thanks to svl7 for this amazing mode! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberCrash Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hello,I've just bought the Acer Aspire V3-571g with Bios 2.13 (newest) and FullHD Display.Will there be a OC Bios version for the newest Bios 2.13 available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidgreen Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I was wondering...should I post the BIOS for the .016 version of this notebook? I mean the one with 6 gigs of RAM, Win8 and the 3630qm processor. Apparently it's just a slightly refreshed model, it shouldn't be hard to port this mod, but personally I don't know how to do it.Edit: Ok so apparently there's no chance of overclocking this specific model because the BIOS chip isn't accessible. However it seems like memory can be overclocked quite a bit. Right now I'm trying to get the best performance out of BF3, and apparently overclocking the memory does help quite a bit. However I still have to find out how far I can push it. Has anybody tried this already? I'm just looking for the sweet spot to stick with before it starts artifacting, any hints?Wait, If the bios chip isn't accessibile why acer release bios updates as zip packages.. I have the stock bios 2.13 as a zip file.. Why not mod that one and flash it as a regular update or using USB recovery method.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I think I found a way around the error we got earlier, will see what I can do. I could use a backup of the bios (use this) and a screenshot of GPU-Z (while using the latest official bios). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrandyr Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 just ordered a new model on Amazon and i'm guessing its the newer 2.x BIOS. I would love a mod as well. Do you need any assistance?Also do you take donations? I would love to send ya a few bucks for your time and effort. Thanks SVL7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Modified version of BIOS v2.13 is up here. Instructions: - Make sure you're on v2.13. - Grab this flash tool, run the included .bat file to create a backup of your current BIOS. - Use the tool provided by me (link at the beginning of the post) to prepare your BIOS image for flashing. You need to have your bios dump in the same folder, run the tool and follow the instructions. - Flash the created file with the FPT tool, use this command: "-f v213modFix.bin -bios" If it comes up with an error, let me know and I'll post more instructions. just ordered a new model on Amazon and i'm guessing its the newer 2.x BIOS.

svl7 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Ok, I expected something like this... there are still some things to try, but I need to know a couple more details.

svl7 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Okay, then use your modified fparts file and the DOS version of the flash tool to flash it. You'll need to my 'prr' tool before trying to flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidgreen Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 ok, bios flash succesful using freedos, but I can't overclock more than 810mhz (405mhz stock speed), nvidia inspector show a grayed shader speed tab instead of boost speed... see attachment.... my 3dMark 11 scores were lower than when I ran it on official overclocked 2.13, tried overclocking the p8 state, right click apply clocks and voltage and then apply to all higher p-states but no luck, not enough voltage.. nvidia inspector screenshot: GPU-Z vmodded 2.13 @ stock clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'll take a look at it when I'm back home sometime tomorrow, but you need to provided some more information... saying that the 3dm11 scores are lower doesn't help me at all.
