FAQ

Quote:

Q: Can you make a BIOS mod to disable Optimus?
A: I can't do that. Some people say it is impossible.

Quote:

Q: Does 0.85v offer the same performance as 0.83v or is there a difference?
A: They offer the same performance. But 0.85v may be more stable than 0.83v. 0.85v runs hotter as well.

Quote:

Q: Which settings do I use to flash?
A: Only use the default settings. Select the BIOS you want to flash, and hit the 'flash'-button.

Quote:

Q: Which software do I use from the included package?
A: If you want to flash from DOS, use AFUDOS. If you have 32-bit Windows use afuwin32, etc. If you don't know what DOS, 32-Bit or 64-Bit Windows is, good piece of advice: "Don't flash!"

Quote:

Q: My computer says something about being in manufacturing mode, and I have a high fan speed
A: During boot, press Fn+X, and enter your service tag.

I made the 540M bios mod already

Added link with flashing tools

N5110.X · 11-07-2011, 03:38 PM

I flashed my bios ..

1 - Fan kept running at 100% and it was very noisy !
2 - The name of the GPU didn't change to 540M !
3 - The only thing that happened is that the default clocks became 672/900/1344 which are the default in 540M ..

If you fix that I will be grateful

!

No need to change name of GT-525M to GT-540M. They both share the same hardware. I changed the clocks of the GT-525M to GT-540M with some manual hex editing. So we dont need to use overclocking software and Nvidia Optimus can work like it's supposed to.

I also made a 525m to 550m bios mod. However, don't forget to watch those temperatures. I am working on a undervolting bios for each mod

Stay tuned!

Right now I'm using GT 550M mod , and with some driver hacking ..
Here's what I got :

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

My temps doesn't exceed 78 , I think that's good ..
I have a cooling pad and also I have a custom cooling mod ..

Waiting for new bios , Good luck and thank you

N5110.X · 11-09-2011, 01:36 PM

Can't you change the name via the VBios ..
I know they share the same hw , but I want my card to be completely transformed into 550M

What is that cooling mod you are talking about? Sounds interesting
