1. Take USB stick and format to FAT32
2. Create directory structure EFI\Boot
3. Download BOOTX64.EFI
4. Put downloaded file to Boot directory.
5. Restart and enter BIOS setup.
6. Make sure you have following values:
Legacy Support: Disable
Secure Boot: Disable
7. Reboot and press F9 to boot from USB stick
8. HOW TO CHANGE:
For example you want to change

give command setup_var 0x1aa

look at log file. Default value for your bios is

so you should get 85 as value. (HEX 0x55)

Try to change for example to 40 degree.

give command setup_var 0x1aa 0x28

28 is HEX for 40 DEC

9. Now Reboot
10. Start some CPU stress test (AIDA64 for example) and check performance
You can also try to play with Fan speed temperature.

hahaha, now i feel like i was blind, thanx, will give it a go now...

no joy, cant boot in to EFI shell, tried 2 sticks, i recon they are incompatible, will read more in to it now...
