I bought a used Aero 15 that was pre-modded with the 130w gpu bios. Its a great laptop, EXCEPT the mini-dp port isnt working. I suspect the modded bios is the reason.
I cant find the stock bios anywhere. If someone is able to provide it that would be great! Thanks.
Edit: I ran this bios and is 105w and seems compatible https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/232683/232683
displayport issue was a driver issue. DDU + game ready driver sorted it out

Here is my stock 3060 vbios, same aero 15 kd 2021 laptop.

This one I am using now and I like it more than the stock one. Its a 100+15watt dynamic boost from the aorus 15p 2021 model. Hdmi and displayport are working, although I think I also had to reinstall drivers to get them to work. The dynamic boost isn't working correctly, but I am using this because I don't want to use dynamic boost. Didn't know that dynamic boost is drastically lowering the cpu speeds on heavy game titles like RDR2. In some cases the cpu speed drops down to 2.6ghz. Most of the time the cpu is the in low 3ghz range. This creates some bad 1% lows for fps. The 100watt limit on this helps alot. My 3060 with a custom voltage curve (1770mhz @ 0.8v) can stay at this level while the cpu stays at 4.2ghz, with dynamic boost off. With the stock vbios, once it gets to 90watts, the gpu dynamically drops by up to 150mhz.

Btw, is the vbios that you found 105watt with dynamic boost, or 105watt without?Last edited: Sep 15, 2021 -
I dont know if its with or without dynamic boost. How do I check?

I used this 3060 vBIOS for 130-watt TGP (it came from an ASUS ROG): https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/233524/233524
My 3D Mark Time Spy score went from 8200 to 8506. -
I just unlocked the BIOS and undervolted the CPU and Cache by -50mV and my Time Spy score went to 8697: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (notebook) video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-11800H,Default string AERO 15 KD (3dmark.com)

Heres a video explaining how to custom curve with msi afterburner. What I recommend is to find the top frequency and voltage you want to limit it to, and make the curve not surpass that limit. In my case I set it to 1775mhz @ 0.8v. So I hold shift and drag select all the curve pts beyond 0.8v, and drag them all below 1775mhz. Then I just select the one curve pt on 0.8v, and move it up to 1775mhz. Once I hit apply, the curve is automatically fitted to a flat line on when it hits 1775mhz @ 0.8v. Some of the pts before 0.8v, will be re-fitted to ramp up to 1775mhz. I wouldn't want it to run at 1775mhz at say 0.6volts.
Also, msi afterburner seems to drain battery life quite a bit, as it is probably keeping the dgpu awake. So I don't have msi afterburner run on startup, but I do have it apply the custom voltage curve on startup. This applies the custom curve every time I boot up, but msi afterburner won't be running. I have a shortcut to run msi afterburner manually if I want rtss overlay and such. -
