Plutomaniac for providing the used Intel ME firmware and the Intel ME System Tools to properly configure it for this notebook Andy P whose PhoenixTool I used to replace the modules Donovan6000 for his very helpful guides and insights on Insyde bios modding Management Engine: Integrated in BIOS image, HEX Editor needed for replacement Intel Microcode (integrated in file): PADDING_2702.ROM Thermal Configuration: Cpu Thermal Configuration: Bi-Directional PROCHOT# -> DisabledĬhipset Configuration: RTC Lock -> DisabledĬhipset Configuration: IFR Update -> DisabledĬhipset Configuration: BIOS Lock -> DisabledĪCPI Table/Features Control: TCO WatchDog Support -> EnabledĪCPI Table/Features Control: WatchDog ACPI Table -> EnabledĪCPI Table/Features Control: ACPI Memory Debug -> DisabledĪCPI Table/Features Control: PEP Graphics -> DisabledĮxtended ICC: Use WatchDog Timer For ICC -> EnabledĮxtended ICC: ICC Locks after EOP -> All UnlockedĪdvanced CPU Control: xAPIC Mode -> EnabledĪdvanced CPU Control: Package C-State Demotion -> EnabledĪdvanced CPU Control: Package C-State Un-Demotion -> EnabledĪdvanced CPU Control: ACPI 5.0 CPPC Support -> EnabledĪdvanced CPU Control: ACPI 5.0 CPPC Platform SCI -> EnabledĪdvanced CPU Control: Package Power Limit MSR Lock -> DisabledĪdvanced CPU Control: Long Term Power Limit Override -> EnabledĪdvanced CPU Control: Long Term Time Window -> 128 There you may want to change some settings (the BIOS flash erases all previously chosen settings). After everything is done, you can reinsert the battery and go to the BIOS (F2).

It should take between one to two minutes.Ĩ. The BIOS flash should now begin, the fans will spin up at max speed and the power led should blink. Press and hold and, and then plug in the AC adapter while still holding and. Remove the battery of the notebook - you can unlock the battery on the backside.ĥ. Copy the BIOS file to an empty and with FAT16/32 formatted usb stick.ģ. Applied a few useful BIOS patches by CodeRush (Unlock CPU Power Management Register (useful for Hackintosh Users)/Disable BIOS Lock/Disable SMI Lock)ġ. Microcode updated to version 21 (respectively downgraded to 07 and 01) + All Locks Unlocked + Overclocking Enabled For HM87 Notebooks + PAVP (Protected Audio/Video Path) Enabled Nvidia 840M/940M VBioses replaced with adapted 940MX VBios with unlocked TDP Limit, unlocked Boost Table and some OC (1306,5MHz GPU/1070MHz Memory - with general usability in mind) + all voltage sliders unlocked Advanced Bios Options unlocked (Advanced, Power tabs and additional options in the existing tabs)

I will update this bios in case there are newer parts available. Overclocking is only possible with HM87 as HM86 isn't capable of overclocking (tested it myself).Īdditionally I offer a collection of Bios, EC, ME and FD files of this device, in case anyone wants to experiment with these for a bit (EC Modding, etc.).

There are two flavours of this notebook available: Ones that use the HM87 chipset and others that use the HM86 chipset. I've also included an overclocking enabled ME firmware that should (hopefully) allow overclocking on the HM87 equipped notebooks. Frequency and other things can be set up with ThrottleStop (use the latest version).

In case you want to always use an older microcode, I'm offering a script for windows that'll keep the OS from using a newer microcode (compatible with Windows Vista to Windows 10). I wasn't able to get it to work on mine (i5 4210m, HM86), but your mileage may vary. Microcode 01 is the one you should take if you want to try this.
#Acer aspire bios update 1.09 full#
Microcode 07 is the latest microcode that allows using the full turbo clock speed on all cores (using single core turbo with all cores). Microcode 21 is the latest available microcode, this is the Bios you want to use unless you want the special properties of the other microcodes. I'm offering three flavours: Microcode 01, Microcode 07 and Microcode 21. The official bios 1.09 was used as a base. I want to share the modded Bios I created for the Acer Aspire E5-572G notebook.
