Hi everyone,
i modded the bios of the Razer Blade 2014 a little while ago.
So now i finished the modding of the Razer Blade 2016 Bios.
Its almost the same like the old Bios Mod.
There are very nice things to play in there, like overklocking options...![]()
So lets get started:
BIOS MOD
What you will need:
- AFUWINGUI for Aptio V
- AMIBCP_v5.0.1
- Optional one of my modded Bios
AFUWINGUI for Aptio V
Just Download
https://ami.com/download-license-ag...IOS_and_Aptio_AMI_Firmware_Update_Utility.zip
You will find the AFUWINGUI in this directory:
AMIBIOS_and_Aptio_AMI_Firmware_Update_Utility\amiflash\AptioV\afu\afuwin\64
Unpack it it and its ready to go.
It looks like this when you start it:
![]()
Just hit the SAVE Button and it will be dumped![]()
To modify the Bios you will need AMIBCP v5.0.1
Older Versions wont work. It at least did not work for me.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/irxk9p1m43kfk68/AMIBCP_v5.0.1.7Z
Just start it and open the file you dumped. It looks like this now (old pics-but same process):
![]()
On the Left side you can choose the directories and on the right side you can enable them.
Just change the values you want to see in your BIOS to USER in the ACCESS/USE Section
Dont change things like FAILSAVE or OPTIMAL. These are Lifesavers. Trust me.
Save it (DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR BIOS DUMP)
Make a new one!
Then just go back to AFUWINGUI press OPEN and then FLASH.
Works.
I have made 2 modded BIOS Files:
This is my original Razer Blade 2016 Bios:

ENABLED BIOS ( I enabled some features, but if anyone enables ALL of it please share it!)
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=53401792698615920043
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE YOU MAKE
If you want to be sure, just mod your bios your self. I just showed how you can do it.
so thats it with the BIOS mod. Very simple
IF YOUR RAZER BLADE WONT BOOT AFTER CHANGING SOME VALUES IN THE BIOS:
UNPLUG THE BATTERY
UNPLUG THE BIOS BATTERY. ITS ON THE LEFT SIDE NEAR THE LEFT SPEAKER WITH TWO WIRES
LET THEM UNPLUGGED
PRESS POWER BUTTON FOR SOME SECONDS
PLUG IN AC POWER SUPPLY
PRESS POWER BUTTON
then just plug in all the things you unplugged again(Please be wise and Power off/ unplug Power Supply before you plug everything into everywhere)
if it wont help try it one more time. it helped me alot.
If you changed the FAILSAVE values, this wont help you anymore. Buy a new BIOS or desolder it and Flash it with a Flasher.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT, IF THERE ARE MODS OR ANYTHING THAT MAKE THE BLADE EVEN BETTER, PLEASE SHARE IT!!!
Thank you,

Slightly (or probably totally) off topic, was there any option in 2014 version (or do you know if it's possible on 2015 one) to make the fan control a thing?
Thanks and sorry for the OT.Vasudev likes this. -
yes off topic. do you want to control someting with the fan or do you want to contol the fan speed?

Thank you -
Double post, damn lag, sorry
-
you can change temperature curves in the bios. i tried it but nothing happened. maybe it is controlled by another section.
you can also change the settings in synapse under state of charge or something similar to cooling mode. -
I'm assuming the fan speed is controlled by Synapse. The two "curves" I see are under the Power tab named "Quiet" and "Cool"
-
That's only possible in 2016 ones, sadly; I'm on a 2015 :/
Thank you! -
i just patched some registry values with notebook fan control. i am now able to freely control the fans. i will post it very soon
-
Edit: opened this thread through email notifcation, hadn't noticed the other one; will try asap and let you know there, thanks. -
Is there anyway you can make a fully loaded bios for the 2015? Really all I desperately need is to adjust my dvmt on the fly for OSX. Please it'd mean the world to me if I can get OS X running for school.

its done the same way with the Razer 2015. Just follow the Guide and everything should be fine.
-
I tried but it talks about how my rom isn't Aptio V, but I can't save unless I'm using Aptio 4. Could I just use the 2016 one or could you almost just use my rom to make a bios with dvmt prealloc enabled?
Thanks,
Alex
EDIT: Downloaded an older version of AMIBCP and got the rom to open. Would you mind telling me how to enable dvmt settings in the bios? I'm very new to modding bios and understand how dangerous it can be.
EDIT EDIT: Nvm I got it figured outthanks for the guide!!

Great tutorial....worked for me...Thanks a lot.

one big question
hope someone can test this ..
i have seen options for fan speed thermals etc in the bios when i switch trough the categories .. can we actually modify those values to make the device quieter on idle etc ?
-

Unfortunately no. Although it has values in the bios it is controlled by the EC firmware, so nothing happens when they are changed.

mehh :/ i just saw them and was wondering if we could modify them to tweak the fan courves more
.. i would rather like it to get hotter during idle and stay longer quiet when playing a light game
