Hello kaneace,

This may mean that your computer does not support those temperature options. Try the same 'Active Trip Point' setting under the INTEL>'ACPI Control Sub-Menu'. If this setting gives the same result, please follow the instructions in this post. Although highly unlikely, I may be able to circumvent the setting via the NVRAM. This will probably not have a negative result (99% this is the case), but the worst is that you would have to remove your CMOS battery for 5-10 minutes to reset the setting if the computer doesn't like it. Please note that you will only be uploading the result file by following the steps in the aforementioned post. I will be modifying the NVRAM setting afterwards and returning the file back to you for the actual setting change.

Thanks a lot for the reply Sml6397 !!

I am currently traveling, so do not have access to the computer.
I'll look into this in a couple of days and will let you know the results.

Hey Steven,

'Active Trip Point' setting under the INTEL>'ACPI Control Sub-Menu' gives same result. Lowest possible 63C.

I have taken a few pics of the screens.


Attached is my dumped CMOS NVRAM Token Table.

Hopefully you can find something.

Thanks on beforehand for the help!

Hello kaneace,

I am pretty sure that this means that your BIOS does not support lower options. I am not sure how to modify the BIOS to allow the lower temperature options to work if this NVRAM method does not work.

I am on the fence about cheating the setting. I am not sure that this will change anything. Keep an eye on the CPU temp to see if the setting change made a difference. If it does not, then go into your BIOS and reset the settings to default.

The modified kaneace.txt file can be found at the bottom of this post. I changed the value for register [0126] from (0007) to (0005). This means that the sixth option on the setting's list will be selected (47 degrees Celsius) instead of the eighth option (63 degrees Celsius).

To apply this NVRAM mod, simply reflash the modified textfile in DOS. The symcmos command is below:

symcmos -v2 -Ukaneace.txt   ; "Modified.txt" is an example file name

The capital "U" is intentional.

Hey Steven,

Thanks for this.
It seems however you did not attach the modified kaneace.txt.

Congrats on the 800th post

Oops! It is attached now.

Thanks Steven,

I'll try, see what happens and let you know the result.
