Clevo x7200 / Sager NP7280 BIOS MODS With Unlocked Overclocking Options

[Kolich]

1) I didn't change anything. T-state always disabled in many computer.
2) - 4) You'll need to figure it out yourself.

For overclocking, please consult Torment78 at Notebookreview forum.

in v.1.1.1 bios mod T-State will be enable
if who benching in Intel Linpack or XTU may can damage processor...

In many BIOS, T-State is disabled. It should not be enabled in my opinion. No way it will damage the CPU. There are preventive measure built in the BIOS to prevent any damage to CPU if the CPU temperature is too high.

BTW, I checked in Sager BIOS .08, .11 & .12, all have T-state disabled by default. The C-State, P-state & thermal management (cooling modes) should be able to control the performance & temperature of the CPU, thus preventing any damage to the CPU. If you monitor the CPU speed, you'll see, with T-state enabled, CPU will be throttling a lot.

I configured the bios turn off the C-state, it is necessary for better overclocking. Yes, I watch the processor speed in real time, you mean in normal mode it will reduce the frequency?? or what?
I understand how, if the T-state is on, when the critical temperature, the frequency will be reduced, is not it?

[Kolich]

T-States are microprocessor core frequency throttle states. Beyond this fact, T-States are not well
documented and thus will not be discussed below. P-States, C-States, and S-States are discussed below.

this is offically quote from pdf-documentation...

Hello

Sager NP7280 with the 728BV12S BIOS installed.
I'm trying to install the following video card:

I think I need to MOD the BIOS to get this working.....
There is a lot of info on this site and I'm a bit lost in it all.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the tools I need to do this MOD?

I understand the risk of doing this and just want to make sure I'm Using the right tools... 

According to CPU-Z, I have the following:
