    Check with Svet at MSI forum, perhaps he can help to further unlocking the BIOS.

    It would have to be a reprogram and add into the bios since it lacks the functionality rather than somethingbeing locked.

    Most gains will be from gpu tweaking anyway and yes its a lovely machine to play with.

    Yep the MS16F2 is a great laptop. Just recently upgraded to a GTX770M on mine and it never goes near 75c. Also answer to the topic. The Overclocking seems to be locked down in the ME Firmware by what i am reading. I have tried to dump the ME firmware of my 16F2 with no Luck. but as meaker says the most gains are via GPU tweaking.

    It was one thing that made the 16F2 slightly less desirable, if it had that then you had no optimus to worry about so could have just given it a bit extra edge.
