[REQUEST] Acer Aspire 8930(G) BIOS Unlock
#21
(09-16-2013, 01:53 PM)Simmie Wrote: Hey mate first i write a short english text (for other user that reading) second part will be german with explainations for your better understanding.

#1
Are you sure your laptop support 8gb of ram? Cause PM45 Chipset does but not all Laptop-Mainboards does as well. Check if the modules work fine. cause when you can use 6gb its half of the way.

#2
For this task you need an unlocked bios. I am not a modder yet, but pls post a link to your original-bios to make work easyer.


#3
Here is one big Problem. not every PM45 board can support quad-cores. They changed the socket-wiring. So its just an try and error game.



So hier nun für dich auf deutsch:

#1
Obwohl der PM45 Chipsatz 8gb verträgt, machen das viele Laptop-Mainboards nicht mit. RAM-Händler behaupten immer wieder was anderes, aber es gilt das selbe wie mit jedem Mainboard: Vollbestückung mit maximaler Auslastung ist immer ne Sache für sich. Und mitunter geht es nur mit einer bestimmten Sorte Module, bei einer bestimmten Geschwindigkeit und der passenden Spannung. Probiere die Module in Kombination durch. Um zu sehen ob eines Fehlerhaft ist. Memtest solltest dafür nutzen. Solange der Notebook-Hersteller nicht sagt das es funktioniert, bleibt es immer ein Glücksspiel.

#2
Da brauchst du nur ein Unlocked-Bios. Es gibt dir einfach die Funktionen hinzu. Ich bin hier kein Modder aber bitte gib nen Link zu deinem Standartbios mit an. Das macht den Moddern die Arbeit leichter.

#3
Erstmal die Frage, weist du sicher das die CPU mit deinem Laptop läuft? Gab es den Lappi mit der CPU standartmäßig zu kaufen?
Ansonsten sieht es schlecht aus. Denn es ist ein Glücksspiel ob die CPU passt. Der Sockel ist zwar der selbe, aber um die Quadcores zu unterstützen, wurde die Verkabelung geändert. Ergo nur die späten Revisionen sind physikalisch überhaupt in der Lage die CPU zu unterstützen.

Grüße
Simmie

English (Sorry, im not the best with, hard to explain my self):

afaik there was some versions of the Acer Aspire 8930G
Quadcore Q9000 with 6/8Gb ram
Dualcore T5800 and bigger
Geforce 9600M GS 512MB and 1024Mb Version and bigger

Im confused about there was everytime the same mainboard integrated as i read about
I please you to explain me how to look about the mainboard to know if it was the same model

The thing about my whole questions was i want to get the biggest setup into my Acer aspire 8930G also Biggest CPU, RAM, Graphiccard. Cause i love the Laptop (GIANT Laptop with MEGA Sound!)

Bios was just the version out of this Forum 1.21 SLIC2 and VT-X

our Carni


German:

Also, so weit ich weiß, gibt es den Acer Aspire 8930G, in verschiedenen Ausführungen und zwar:

Quadcore Q9000 mit 6Gb ram
Dualcore T5800 und höher
Geforce 9600M GS 512MB und 1024Mb Version

Was mich dabei aber wundert, ist, dass es alles die gleichen Mainboards sind, soweit ich das erkennen kann!
Kannst du mir verraten, wie ich das absolut und lückenlos einsehen kann?!

Das ding ist, ich würde gerne das größtmögliche an CPU, RAM, Grafikkarte einsetzen, um das Letzte aus dem Laptop rauszuholen, denn ich liebe das Gerät! (RIESIG und MEGA Sound!)

Das ist das BIOS 1.21 SLIC2 and VT-X

MfG Carni

Hey mate.
I just searched for the specs you want:
They selled it with Q9000:
http://www.amazon.de/Acer-8930G-904G50WN...B001O2S4CO (Link 1)
So your chance is good but the only way to find out is simply try... BUT FIRST SEE LAST LINK!!!

Graficscard:
Check what kind of Slot you have. I guess its MXM II and there is no need to upgrade cause 9600M GS is one of the best MXM II-Cards. Only improvements can be made from RAM but beware, 1024MB dont need to be better then 512MB. You need to look for the fastest RAM so DDR2<GDDR3 and so on. But i dont think improvements are worth upgrading.

some pics from MXM-Cards:
http://www.mxm-upgrade.com/Tech_13.html (Link 2)
Acer-Userforum (German):
http://www.acer-userforum.de/acer-aspire...schen.html (Link 3)

Now after googling some time... I found a nice topic in Aceruserforum (german)... Some say in it that there where 2 different kinds of mainboards. One that handle quadcores and 8gb of ram and one that does not handle quadcores and 8gb of ram (it seems like only handling 6gb)...
http://www.acer-userforum.de/hardware/23...glich.html (Link 4)

Greetings
Simmie

So und nun erstmal die Infos auf deutsch:

Grafikkarte:
Generelle Frage welche art von MXM-Steckplatz hast du? Wenn du MXM II und eine 9600M GS hast macht Aufrüsten wenig Sinn. Da es eine der besten für diesen Slot ist. Und das mit der Ram-Größe sagt bei MXM-Karten wenig aus... Generell gilt schnellerer RAM ist besser (zB DDR2<GDDR3) und erst bei selber RAM-Sorte geht es um die Menge.
Welche MXM sorten (Link 2 und 3)

RAM und CPU:
Dein Notebook wurde mit Quadcore angeboten (Link 1), ABER nach einigem googlen fand ich ein Topic (Siehe Link 4) in dem es genau um dieses Thema geht. Hab es nur überflogen aber es scheint, dass in deinem Laptop zwei verschiedene Sorten Mainboards verbaut wurden:

Eine die keinen Quad-Core und nur max 6GB verträgt.
Und
Eine die einen Quad-Core verträgt und eventuell (nicht weit genug gelesen) 8GB verträgt.
Ich würde sagen ließ dir das Topic einfach mal aufmerksam durch.

Grüße
Simmie

im sorry to ressurect an old thread but i thought it might be better than starting a new one as I did try search the forum first.

im looking for an unlocked acer aspire 8930g bios.

i want to access the hidden menus so I can undervolt my Q9000 and drop temps. I dont like doing it from windows and prefer bios.

im currently using a modded v1.21 with VT-x enabled and SLIC 2.1

I can post a link to the bios or I can email it to someone if they ask. Im posting the message using a smartphone so i cant upload anything to a hosting service.

thanks for the help

Hey, So I found an Acer Aspire 8930G, and i would love to reuse it and make something out of it, now i got lucky and i have the model that have P45 chipset which supports DDR3 8gb, but I need a bios to enable that as it's bios locked by acer, and if possible the ability to enable Uefi mode over legacy as I am trying to add a external GPU, most GPU now a days require UEFI BIOS.

I tried the 1.21 Bios that I found here, while I can't confirm if it removed the 4gb limit, i can say that i don't have uefi enabled nor visible as a toggle.

Link for the original BIOS (1.20):

1.20

Link for the Current Flashed Bios (1.21):

1.21

Thanks for anyone who is willing to help!

I too have recently bought a Nvidia GTX 1050 ti along with a EXP GDC Express Card External GPU base and power supply to use with my Acer Aspire 8930g. Unfortunately in order to fully utilize an external GPU with this laptop it requires a UEFI Bios with a Legacy mode toggle option which is not available in the stock insydeh2o bios 1.20 and 1.21 vt mod versions.

A Bios mod that enables these modes would be a life saver for me. Hopefully someone here would revive this thread and release such a mod, or at least let us know if it is even possible to do such a thing.

Thanks to anyone who is more than willing to help out us 8930g users.
