G551jw - gpu throttling fix + mods [voltground] [solution]

[AsSaSsInJ0HN]

Hey there Fellow ROG G551JW users,

As we all know we had the problem of GPU being locked at 78 Degrees. There is a modded BIOS that you can flash for getting GPU temps unlocked till 82 degrees.
Also Voltground had files for 89 degree GPU setting with clocks unlocked for GTX 960m [Works for both 2gb and 4gb version]. Unfortunately VOLTGROUND has its website closed and Many people have PM'd me for these moded files. So here i am Posting all of it in an orderly manner.

Hello there! I've been away for a long time and I would like to thank @AssassinJohn for making this files available. I have a lot of PM's regarding the G501vw model and for what I know there ain't many differences about them. To remove the Throttling lock you need to change this values in hex in the vBios as seen in the image attached.

To anyone that landed here after everything vanished, here's a link to the instructions that worked for me.
You also have to download a slightly older version of UEFITool that works properly, but that can be found easily.
