Hi
Your bios is rewrite protected
You need a SPI-programmer+SOIC8 clip only

yes, but need your dump made with a SPI-programmer
Sorry... my english is very bad. Use translator.
I can change hidden settings directly by flashing nvram. If I change the frequency settings of the RAM to invalid and the laptop stops loading, can I reset the settings successfully? The frequency of RAM is 2666MHz. I want to change to 2800/2933/3000 ... I found where this parameter is stored.

I have the (much older) Y700 but maybe it helps as it's bound to be similar (I was posting in another thread and saw your post):
If it can't run at the frequency you set, it will revert to the default settings and restart. Just give it a while.
Changing some other (hidden) settings (possibly including the memory training algorithms) can cause a boot loop. In that case you need to take off the cover, unplug both batteries (and the AC adapter) and wait for a moment to clear all the settings
So generally experimenting with the settings should be fine. Note that the setting you found might not be enough (depending on the RAM you have): you might actually need to do 3 things: (1) enable Overclocking Features, set (2) clock frequency and (3) multiplier separately. It might be different on your laptop but if you do an IFR dump you can know what to look for.
