    Theres a new bios for the entire 11th gen aero 15 line, but no release notes. Anyone happen to know what they are? In CC, they list the updated bios as FB07...

    I installed it yesterday on my XD without a problem, the laptop seems to be OK for now. I don't see any difference, don't know if I should, though...
    This is on a clean install with all the latest drivers.

    I installed it and didn't see anything different in the stock bios options. Did not bother to get it unlocked. I didn't do much testing, but it seemed my cpu-z single thread benchmark scores dropped a little. But this is with the cpu at stock voltage. On the older bios I have it unlocked and undervolted by 50mv. Of course the multi core scores would drop too without the undervolt. But I was surprised the single thread scores would drop a bit. Went from ~615-620 to ~600-605. Didn't notice anything different with the memory/cache benchmarks or memory dynamic clock/timings behavior either. Went back to my unlocked FB03 bios.

    I see now they have a FB07 bios..., but same EC04
