Greetings fellow members,
I'm Hackness from NBR, as NBR is closing, I have decided to migrate the posts I've written from NBR to here.
If you are looking for full control in Windows over the C-state and the multiplier in the Turbo boost mode and also to let the Speedshift run correctly, then this guide is for you.
Firstly, you'll need to download ThrottleStop to perform the steps in this guide.
Secondly, you need to unlock your BIOS, if you are coming from other brands, you may need to look for a way to unlock it. These are the items you need to have access to in your BIOS: Intel (R) Speed Shift Technology
Software Guard Extension (SGX)
CPU Flex Ratio Override
CPU Flex Ratio Settings
CFG Lock in the View/Configure CPU Lock Option page. //////////////////////////////////WARNING!////////////////////////////////// For MSI users, it’ll be much easier and safer, there’s a key combination to unlock the BIOS.
Please use this key combination with extra care and at your own risk, some of the settings inside can get your laptop bricked. So if you don't have anyway to perform full CMOS reset, just don't touch anything you don't know, and most importantly, never touch anything related to "Internal graphic" "SG" "Muxless" "Undervolt" "Primary Display""Output Policy", if you go too far undervolting in the BIOS and caused the CPU to crash upon powered on and you don't have anyway to perform full CMOS clear, SPI programming or RMA is your only option. So if any of those happen, it is a brick for sure!!
The combination is: Once you are in the BIOS, Hold Left Alt + Right Ctrl + Right Shift and then press F2.
I'm not responsible to any bricking or anything that caused damage to your laptop, use this guide at your own risk!
Edited on 2019/06/20: @xLima has found a way to perform full reset for the GS65 2019 model, I believe it works the same way for the GS65 2018 model, go to here for more Info:
