I've just purchased a W700 and have since found out that after 20 seconds of heavy usage the CPU gets throttled to 10W making it as useful as an i3 (its an i5).
I've managed to get a copy of the bios (download below along with flashing app) so I was hoping someone here could create a mod and remove this arbitrary limit?

I've managed to get a list of bios options using the script here - http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-HO...-EFI-shell

The outcome was this - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9950356/IDS.txt

I've literally changed every setting relating to TDP or throttling or power and the CPU still gets throttled to 10 watts after 28 seconds. Does anyone know where else a setting would be that would do this? Maybe embedded in the firmware elsewhere?
