    E1505 special bios mod

    There was a special bios mod for e1505 which took the overclock section from inspiron xps m1710 bios and combined it to the e1505 and the e1705. the overclock section was for the T7600G cpu which overclocks with unlock multiplyers. However i reflashed my bios recently and messed it up so i went back to a17 unmodded bios.
    I can not find the old link that had the special bios mod for both the E1505 and E1705 to overclock the T7600G intel core duo two in bios.
    Please anyone, someone help me get those special bios:(

    my custom model
    E1505 6400/4GB 800mhz ram/500GB HDD/512mb Ati x1400,Intelchipset pm/res 2520x1600/T7600G 2.33-3.18Ghz

    Please help:(

    dell optiplex gx520

    Hi there! I need a modder help.
    Dell Optiplex GX520. There is no SLIC in latest original BIOS.
    I modified firmware with Phoenixtool 1.65. All settings were remained default. Modification process finished successfully.
    After BIOS flashing I tested it with SLICToolkit. SLIC Diagnosis shows "OEMID/TableID" problem : X&RSDT field "!=" and SLIC Status - Invalidated.
    (Btw, BIOS itself after mod is fully functional and works OK.)
    I "reflashed" BIOS back to the original untouched version A11.

    Could anybody please make it right or say what options in Phoenixtool shoud be adjusted or say that it is not possible and then I will switch to other activation ways? Or can anybody mod it?
    Below I provide all the info needed. This is my second post so I'm not allowed to put any links in a post. To solve it I replaced "." with " _DOT_ " and "http COLON DOUBLESLASH" with " _HTP_ ". Sorry for inconvenience.

    Thank you.

    Hi imatrix! I carefully studied and followed the original post by busykid! I know that, because I was able to create a dos bootable usb flash with all the files on it, and when in dos prompt it flashed the bios and asked me to press F1 upon completion but the computer doesn't restart and just goes idle and after a while I had no choice but to reboot and the fans kick in at very high and the system won't boot. The second chip I got on ebay was a bit different and at dos prompt it asked me for a file as regular process but it gave an option to save and old file as well, so I named it A13old.bin, alas it was exactly the same result! Thanks in advance.
