    I want to ... overclock CPU!
    At this point it will not modify CPU freq, no matter what i try.
    Actually if i alter the CPU multiplier it is down-clocking CPU's FSB, by itself, to a level that the CPU freq remain the same (~1300Mhz)! :eek:
    I never seen that before!!!

    Please help!!! :worthy::worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy:

    You sure this bios flashed? Maybe WINUPTP.EXE ignore, same version which you will flash and current bios?
    Try this:
    Code:
    WinFlash64.exe /sd /wb /v /file your_bios.FL1

    How can I force bios upgrade? Program is saying the same version, an update is not necessary. Doesn't let me run the program.
    I am running through the windows folder below with WINUPTP as Admin.

    C:\Users\Vikunta\Downloads\Lenovo ThinkPad W520_1.42-(8BET62WW)-8buj21us__WL-2/modified


    Above is where the modified bios is located.
    Thank you very much.

    1. launch cmd as admin
    2. cd to the folder location your WINUPTP.EXE (here must be also few exe like WinFlash32.exe, WinFlash64.exe, etc...)
    3. You need chose needed from this flasher (if your windows 32 bit use WinFlash32.exe, else use WinFlash64.exe)
    4. then launch "WinFlash64.exe /sd /wb /v /file your_bios.FL1" (where /v is verify, /sd not check current bios version, /wb reflash entire bios not only different parts, and /file path to your file)
    for me it look like:
    Code:
    WinFlash64.exe /sd /wb /v /file c:\bios_slic_patched.FL1
    This command will flash bios even if your current version same! But also you need disable in bios some like "prevent bios downgrade" if it enabled.
