    i7 2860QM how to raise power limit?

    Hi.
    I've just upgraded from i5 2340m TDM 35W to i7 2860QM TDM 45W. All is working fine except during stress test the clock multiplier stays capped at x28 which is 2.8MHz and power draw stays around 35W so it seems the motherboard is limiting power draw. On various websites it reads it should go to 3.3MHz on all 8 cores stressed.
    What is the best way to go about raising power limit.
    a) Bios upgrade/unlock?
    b) Hardware/shunt mod?
    c) Reduce the CPUs voltage somehow?
    Sony Vaio VPCEH2H1E
    BIOS Insyde Version R0200Z9 date 19/04/2012
    Can anyone help with unlocking BIOS advance options
    Especially options to overclock the CPU, please.
    Thanks.

      post S/N, full name and model, motherboard model,etc.
      post the contents of the bios chip even if it is corrupted..

          I've recently updated bios from r0180z9 and this is folder I found online and used, it supposed to be unlocked but I can't change clock speeds.
          Model model vpceh2h1e but on the back sticker it's different vpceh2p0e. s/n 275443535003760
          I hope this is what you meant:

              Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
              by Tynan Dill
              I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

              Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

              I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

              The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

              With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

              Assuming...

              Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
              by PantherDave
              Hi all!

              I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

              I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

              Intel Arc A380 videocard power limit remove - BIOS needed
              by iulik17d
              Hello everyone!
              The Asrock A380 low profile card (ID 8086 56A5 - 1849 6006) have an power limit of 45W. Intel removed the possibility to increase power using the software utility, anyway the card is in an proxmox machine that doesn't run windows.
              The same hardware is in another form by the name Asrock A380 Challenger that have the same VRMs and the power limit is at 60W. I searched online and found on another website an .bin bios file from the Challenger variant, that I flashed using an CH341a. Flashng worked well, I put the card in PC and booted. GPUz shows that new device ID is 8086...

              HP Omen 15-dh0052nf power-on & bios password
              by Nopslide
              Hello everyone, I come here to tell you my problem regarding the power-on password. It is not a bios reset demand, and i can't have any access to windows. This is the bios and power-on password that is blocking all other things.

              My Omen 15-dh0052nf purchased second-hand was configured with the bios password upon purchase (very simple password :P ).

              Having decided to sell it in order to get something more powerful, I reset all BIOS settings and set a blank administrator password. But the power-on password cannot be changed to a blank one so I let the actual password set....
