Hello, I'm quite reluctantly using a HP BA120NG (Convertible X360 Pavilion) Laptop.
Laptops Can be quite depressing when it comes to bios.
If anyone coule help me I'd save myself from Buying a Desktop PC.
(I can use a NVME to x4 Adapter for a GPU, and I'm using a 65W TDP Heatsink, because my Screen broke and only using the motherboard.)
HP Support Seems Quite ok, I found this online https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Notebooks/How-do-I-change-configurable-TDP-power-limits/td-p/7215523
SO WHAT I NEED TO DO:
Turbo Boost is fine with its 3.3 GHz on I5 8250U,
unless I want to use it for more than 9ms. Then It throttles to 15W (thanks hp) despite 25W TDP on intels website.
this is 1.8 GHZ. I get hardly 50°C so temperaturre REALLY is no issue.
The TDP is Locked and not adjustable via XTU or Throttlestop.
(XTU won't install on my hardware)
I REALLY NEED TO have this function unlocked in the BIOS.
Since I am not using the Laptop in the enclosure, my cooling does a really good job. I would like to unlock the 3.3GHz Turbo as an FULL TIME turbo, i Guess that would be about 30W.
If you can't help me, please help me learn:
What book do I need to read to understand a 2017ish bios uefi, what tools can I use to unpack, edit and reflash my custom Bios? How do I find datasheets for my chipset (this has been so hard, doesn't seem like a widely used one)
CHIPSET: Kaby Lake, HP83C5 (even though the BiOS file is named 083C4)
RW Everything would rock, but bios editing.... help pls!!!
(Attach Is BIos exe, unpack with archiver for .bin file)
if anyone know how do I convert the BIN file to a file that is readable by the (outdated???) Insydeh20 TOOL?
(file with the long name is the insyde h2o tool,,, my bios is not h20 but made by insyde)
