Hello,
I've recently installed your BIOS to my G46VW. Thsi is not the first modified BIOS that has been installed on this laptop, as I have had "KLEM'S" BIOS installed previous to this one. I have a couple of questions.
1. Klem's BIOS sets the base clock of the GPU to 1110. This was perfectly stable on my G46, but I was under the assumption that this BIOS (yours) would give me different functions. Your BIOS has the base clock set at 895, with turbo being 986. While this is fine, I wish to increase it via BIOS to the 1110 it had before, but without using software such as nVidiaInspector or Afterburner. If this is possible, what settings do I have to change to attain this clock? I cannot find anything concerning the GPU in the BIOS. So, far I have found that with your BIOS, I cannot exceed +130 on the GPU OC without a driver failure, or exceed 2700 on GPU memory without the same result. With Klem's BIOS I was able to achieve 1350mhz and 2900mhz ram (using a combination of the increased base clock in Klem's BIOS, and nVidiaInspector) and it was stable.
2. You also state that "QM" processors can be overclocked a bit. Would you care to elaborate on how this is done? Again, I cannot find where the FSB or multiplier settings are in the BIOS you have created.
3. Lastly, I have changed nearly every setting for the fan settings available (or that I can locate) within the bios so that it may attempt to manage a lower temperature. No matter what I change, the target remains 91C. It will not run the fans 100% until then. I have it set for 100% at 70C, but it will only run them at 50% until it hits 91C.
EDIT: To elaborate some, I have extensively modified my G46 with the following items and am saking these questions so that I may further optimize the items I have integrated into my system:
1. 1920 x 1080 120Hz monitor
2. i7-3630QM (Noctua NT-H1 thermal compound applied)
3. 16GB Corsair 1600 RAM (2x8GB)
4. BIOS mod (Klem's then yours)
5. Debloated Windows 10
6. Intel 7260AC ac/b/g/n wireless card
7. Crucial M4 128Gb MSATA SSD
8. Crucial M4 256GB SATA SSD
9. GPU (GTX 660M) currently running at 1246Mhz/2700Mhz (Noctua NT-H1 thermal compound applied)

1. Nvidia GPU settings can only be changed by software or modifying the module. I will be updating the VBIOS soon so hopefully this fixes any issues. I will possibly make two sets of bios downloads, one with a more stockish OC and the other to something you are looking for with a 1100MHZ boot OC for the GPU.
EDIT: To enable full features of VBIOS, Please make sure Secure Boot and Fast Boot are disabled and then enable CSM
2. CPU overclock is done in the "Advanced" ---> "CPU Configuration" ---> "1,2,3,4-Core Ratio Limit" (I have mine set to 40,39,38,38). You will also need to raise the current flow to the CPU to prevent premature throttling. "Advanced" ---> "CPU PPM Configuration" ---> Long Duration Power Limit 85, Long Duration Maintained 120, and Short Duration Power Limit 120.
3. Fans "Advanced" ---> "Thermal Configuration" ---> "Plaform Thermal Configuration" ---> "Active Trip Point 0" This only affects the CPU fan. The GPU fan can only be done by a hardware mod. I.E. running the wire to another power source.

I can confirm some things for people who are interested.
1. CPU overclock does not work on QM processors. I've gone up to 5 steps in the core ratio limit and it has no change. I'm using a i7-3630QM.
2. Fan trip points also do not work. I've changed it to ambient temperature and they still follow the stock temp management scheme.
