I've tried everything the internet could possibly offer me towards attempting to upgrade to an unlocked bios, or even unlock the version I have. Sadly the poor y470p is entirely neglected in these fields and I'm beginning to reach my wits end with the [censored] thing. Its been a problematic machine since day one, and I would've taken a hammer to it already if i could afford a new rig. Needless to say, I need help. xD I would like to be able to tweak my settings, and possibly even unlock the turbo boost for my Core I7 processor; which i know seems to be too much to ask for. But, why not ask some more right? Haha. Anyone, any tips, hints, or even solutions would be greatly appreciated; and I thank you for your time even if it was to read my rant. Smile

Lol, it does seem like Lenovo computer get no attention when it comes to bios modding.

If you have a series 6 or 7 Intel chipset then you might be able to enable overclocking by modifying you Intel ME firmware. I don't know if there's any way to bypass the flash descriptor on a Lenovo computer yet. If your interested you can check out this discussion here Big Grin
