[Unlocked, CL50145A] Acer Aspire 7720G

[ttomorad]

I hate graveyard shifts!

Flashed the new version without a single problem and the Advanced menu is indeed enabled!
There are some really interesting things here, like the CPU C-States, Dynamic FSB switching, but no sign of Speedstep. Is there anything else hidden?

EIST is now unlocked (Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology) so it can be enabled or disbled via software (i guess).

And i guess with Dynamic FSB switching off and C-States off speedstep is disabled.

I cannot see the menu on the bottom of the advanced menu that let you change trip points for fan and for throttle. It should be visible, but it seems to be out of the screen below the ACPI options Try going down the acpi options, does it scroll or hide the cursor? If so hit enter there and you should enter Termal trip points sub menu.

[ttomorad]

Yes, I can scroll down with no problems, the same effect happens with the new options listed in the Main screen, there are too many to fit in there. Thermal trip points have two options: Fan On which is set at 70 C, and Throttle On which is set to 85 C. I don't really understand these. So that's it, no more options hidden?

[camiloml]

no, no more options hidden

hello camiloml
very useful peace of work! i own also an Acer Aspire 7720G based on a unmodded 1.45 acer bios and i have got following questions to you
1. did you resolved the bios modding successfully ?
1.1 if yes, do you need any input about the notebook configuration from me?
1.2 if yes, how can i get a clean version of it?
2. is there any bios lock for compatible graphic cards? inside the notebook is the 8600m gt with 512mb vram
2.1 if yes, is it possible to unlock them?
2.2 if yes, what will be the procedure for that?
3. is it possible to manage more than 4gb ram with the modded bios?
thank you for your support
with best regards jay

Hello,
I would like to try unlocking my BIOS too, but the download link doesn't work...
Also I would like to know if this might brick my bios and make my notebook unusable. -_-'
Thanks in advance!

Actually, sorry about that... I found where the files are now and I flashed my bios. Everything works fine!
Thanks a lot for making this possible! ^^
