G46 Unlocked Bios

HK-47
Level 10
Any know where to find a modded/unlocked Bios for the G46vw? I would like to get access to OC features in Intel Extreme Tuning Utlity. I am using a 3740qm CPU and all the OC features are greyed out. I have read of other MB bios that have been unlocked/modded to allow OC and other features to be enabled.

Overclock is not possible unless you have an XM CPU, a QM CPU can be increased +400 mhz on the clocks and that's all. Fan speed is not possible even with an unlocked bios. The BIOS has the options for fan curves but it looks to be fake a long with 99% of the settings included with an "unlocked" bios

Hi guys!

I have a problem with the BIOS of my G46VW.
Apparently It is corrupt.
I have the programmer for the chip and has managed to accomplish the extraction of the chip on the motherboard.
I tried to extract the data from the chip, but the first 2mb seem to be corrupted.
Compared with the update files provided on the Asus site, I realized that they have 6mb (2mb 8mb unless you have the entire BIOS), precisely the part of my corrupt BIOS is missing.
Does anyone have the complete BIOS file (8mb) or even a rebuilt version that I can use to write directly on the new chip?

could someone explain to me pls how does one overclock the gpu on the g46?

@Zanoello
The 2MB you're referring to is probably the ME FW and it's locked away from users to flash.
I might be why it appears to be corrupt?
Will too try to dump that part, maybe I could help you by sharing mine later.
