Sony Vaio VGN-UX390N Unlocked hidden options & EIST Unlocked (Post: #5 & #18)

You can use ThrottleStop in windows to enabled/disabled EIST. You can enabled dual-IDA mode. Your U7700 - 1.33 -> 1.46@x11 when dual-IDA mode enabled.

I had try it, but can't change to 11,fixed 10. Need to do something with modded bios? I had flashed the bios modded.

Did you enabled dual-IDA mode using ThrottleStop?

---

With the modified BIOS, you can enabled dual-IDA mode because EIST is unlocked.

---

Can you right-click in the ThrottleStop window & select dual-IDA?

Hi Elunge.

How did you load the Bios?

1. Download the bios named "R0101N2" and run it. Wait for a bit, click "ok" button, restart UX.
2. Download the bios named "R0112N2" and Extract it with "winrar" or "7-zip".
3. Replace the R0112N2.wph file with the bios modded.
4. Run WBFLASH.EXE.
5. Wait for a bit, click "ok" button, restart UX.

Elunge, thanks for the info on how to install the modded bios, but part of the instructions I cannot complete, as I do not know where to get WBflash.exe from?

Manys thanks

Please follow this steps to enable dual-IDA mode:-
(The most important steps are no. 1 & 2. The no. 3 is for testing it.)

1. Extract ThrottleStop into a directory on your main drive and run it. Now close ThrottleStop down by right clicking on it in the taskbar and choosing exit. Just needed it to create a configuration file. Go into the ThrottleStop directory and open the configuration file. Scroll to the bottom and set DualIDA=1. Then save it.
   
   Run ThrotleStop again. Check Set Multiplier. Use the up arrow button to select the maximum multiplier. Uncheck EIST. Then hit Turn on. Under Option, check DualIDA on start.
   
   
2. Run CPU-Z to verify it works.
   
   
3. Run Wprime while CPU-Z is up to make sure it holds the highest multiplier.

Hi, thanks for that info, got the bios loaded in nicely into my UX!


Now there is a small issue. Was wondering about the Passive cooling trip point in CPU thermal control Sub-Menu

no matter what value I set it to, it does not make a difference when I am in my linux OS. The default thermal cutoff is 66 degrees celcius before bios mod. Now with bios mod I am able to see and modify this setting. Interestingly its default value is 95 degrees C. This is not the case as when I work the CPU hard in my OS, the CPU still will throttle back from 1.33Ghz to 800Mhz when 66degrees C is reached.

Just wondering if the value here actually linked to something in the mainboard, as in this case even though the value set will save upon exiting, the cut off has not changed.

regards
