Phoenix bios unlocking?

[Alexye204]

Hello  ,

 

Recently i started to begin using a old laptop: Lenovo flex 2 14 but it trottled to much on the gpu that sometimes the igpu just gets 70% and the cpu 100% on fortnite with 60 fps not stable. i am think on unlocking the bios but i couldnt find anyone that has unlocked this bios. so i started to try unlocking it on my own. no success. but what i found was that there was a thing called 'performance menu'. and it could do bclk and overclocking stuff. i cant find any keybinds that work. can somebody help me? bc i know theres something hidden inside my bios. my bios is the phoenix securecore setup. theres no advanced options. 

Kind Regards,

Alex

Welcome to the forums!

Have you tried updating the bios? Maybe replacing it will unlock the menu

I have a Flex 4, and it did not require a bios mod and none existed for it.

In its advanced bios (which has so many settings that can brick the laptop) there was no option for bclk overclocking, only option that affects performance was for the preformance profile and fan settings. 

I would recommend installing an app called "Throttle Stop", it's for Intel based systems that allows you to force a supported CPU multiplier, clock modulation, power limits (gpu and cpu) and even qn overclocking menu with voltage control. Since your CPU is locked and not overclockable you should max out the power limits, replace thermal paste, for 100% clock mod, force max multiplier, and undervolt the cpu (to reduce power draw while keeping same performance)
