The CPU's an Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, and the Chipset's an Intel Kaby Lake HM175.

I know how to unlock this BIOS now! Please see post #6 adhelyhn and send me FPT BIOS region backup.
Or, if you would rather not flash mod BIOS and change settings via grub/setup_var here is my general guide on that
https://www.win-raid.com/t3908f16-GUIDE-Grub-Setup-Var-Guide-Fix-Intel-FPT-Error-BIOS-Lock-Bit-Set-HSFS-W-Asus-or-Other-Mod-BIOS.html
Alt boot to grub when no boot to EFI on exit page - https://www.win-raid.com/t3144f16-Help-needed-Hidden-Advanced-menu-Bios-HP-Z-J-BIN-1.html#msg58324
And here are your variables to change regarding memory
To change, you use the (VarOffset/VarName) value 0x7CA for example with Setup_var at the grub prompt, example below
Example >> Setup_var 0x7CA 0x2
^^ That changes default setting below (of default/auto) to XMP 1 (0x2)
Another example >> Setup_var 0x7CA 0x3 (Changes it to XMP 2
If you change it to custom 0x1, then you can use all the rest of the settings below (timings can be changed too, but I didn't give variables here right now, let me know if you need them later.
Memory profile, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x7CA
One Of Option: Default profile, Value (8 bit): 0x0 (default) {09 07 5A 13 30 00 00}

There is no modified BIOS in this thread meant for anyone to flash. Please see my post above at #43, and send me your FPT backup for modifications, due to FPT needing to be used to flash back the mod BIOS, actual modifications have to be done on individual user basis to their dumped BIOS region. If you modify stock and flash back via FPT you will loose serial, UUID etc, this is why user dump must be modified on case-by-case basis.
I do know how to unlock this BIOS now, so anyone that needs mod BIOS send me a BIOS region dump per the post in #43, see post #6 for info on dumping BIOS region via FPT and follow my grub guide above in post #43 to unlock your BIOS Lock setting so you'll be ready to reflash mod BIOS once completed.

Yes, I can unlock all this BIOS now! I figured out method required, which I didn't initially know when I first started reply on this thread long ago
I'll send you unlocked mod BIOS soon as I have time to do the mods for you, probably tomorrow night, can't do now because I'm leaving in little bit.

adhelyhn - what are you having trouble with running? If FPT, it must be ran from the command line, I gave directions on how to use it in post #6, and I'll edit this in there as well >> Select folder that contains FPTw.exe, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (not power shell), then type in your command
*** This mod BIOS ^^ is for yoba_shoker ONLY, no one else use or you will loose your system specific details (Serial, UUID etc) Please pay attention to this warning!
