thank you so much! worked on my dell g5 5587
it's also crazy now you're still hearting comments even after a year after posting this video, pure dedication 😊
You're welcome! Just trying help as many as I can. It's not possible but I try.
You're an absolute legend. I literally tried almost every method available to get my crappy DELL G15 5510 to stop thermal throttling, I even put liquid metal on it which was barely keeping it below 95c now with my voltage offset to -100mv I can actually get back to enjoying gaming 🙃 😅
Thank you. I understand how you feel. Not being able to play a game at reasonable temperatures is a bummer especially when you paid a lot of money to do it. IMO the only way to fix the issue is to make machines thicker with an increase in heatsink size. Congrats on your new lows....👍
Just wanted to say thanks as I found your instructions to be the most easiest and logical to follow to unlock my BIOS. While I don't have a Dell G5, I used your instructions for my Alienware M15 R6 and successfully unlocked the CPU overclocking option on the latest BIOS for me to undervolt using ThrottleStop as before this was greyed out for me. Now my laptop runs much cooler and comfortably without compromising much of the performance in games so really pleased!
Glad I could help!!👍
Do yo know of any way to unlock gpu memory overclocks?
My new G515 has been stuttering in-game for weeks, and I thought my core voltage was hard locked. But this worked, and I'm hugely grateful. I owe you a beer.
how bios version?
Man, you are hero! I finally can undervolt my Acer Nitro 5 with i7-10750h!
The best and perspicuous tutorial in whole videos that I already watched
Man, thank you A LOT for this. Still working in 2022 on BIOS 1.18 on Dell 5590 with i7 9750h and RTX2060. Fields have deferent names, but the algorithm works! Huge thanks to you!
Hey what fields did you use when doing this with 1.18 BIOS? I'm on 1.18 I'm having a hard time knowing where to find them as I don't see the same things as the video. I don't see anything with CpuSetup to verify the right VarStoreID. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
For me it was just Setup on Dell G5 5587 latest bios
Absolutely amazing! Thanks a lot! Works on Dell G5 5590 bios 1.22
The var on my is “Setup”, different of “CpuSetup”..
Wish you the best!
Glad it helped!
Guys, in Dell G5 5590 using commands "setup_var Setup 0x72D 0x01" and "setup_var Setup 0x9F8 0x01" I have enabled the Real Time Memory in XTU and now I can change the multiplier beyond 45X in core configs(I am using the Core i7 9750H, "Core" menu in XTU)
[UPDATE] Only im ThrottleStop I get 4,5 GHz in all cores, in XTU the overclock did not apply. @Meanpooh you are my hero! Thank you sooo much for teaching us!
Just wanted to say thanks, undervolted my Dell G5 desktop with 10700 CPU w/RTX 3070 using this guide.
You beautiful man! My Dell XPS 13 9380 just wouldn't budge no matter what I through at it, but this worked! Thank you so much. For those of you that can't get it to work perhaps try "setup_var Setup" when putting in your hex values.
You're welcome!
Perfect man!! Thank you!!
Наконец-то нашёл дельную инструкцию, которая помогла разблокировать андервольтинг на Dell G5 5590 i7-9750H, BIOS 1.26.0
Респект автору, в том числе и за чистый английский. Приятно было слушать
Meanpooh, you're my hero now. I owe you one. Thanks for your great work. I'm happy with my Dell g5 now.
Glad I could help, that's the name of the game, spreading knowledge😉.
Thanks Boss... This was one of the clearest and easiest to follow tutorials I've ever experienced... And it worked like a charm!
You're welcome!
For dell g5 5590 i7 9750H and 2060 at the grub part, you should write:
setup_var Setup 0x5c4 0x0
Tap enter and:
setup_var Setup 0x660 0x0
Done! Worked for me with the bios 1.14
THX!!! Works fine for my dell g5 5590 i7 9750H and 1660 ti. bios 1.22
Hey, did u do it exactly as showed ? cs I am unable to boot it rom USB for some reason, got any tips ?
Man you actually saved my life.... I will never know how to thank you for this....
You're welcome. Just helping people in need when I can.👍
@@Meanpooh May you show me your FIVR settings and ur TPL settings since we have the same laptop?
Dell XPS 13 7390 i7-10710u BIOS 1.18.0 this guige works!!
Thanks! Before FIFR was all grey, but now all is active
Thank you. It worked with G15 5511(i7 11800H+rtx 3060) 1.14 Bios.
Only difference is for this laptop offsets are different:
CFG lock = 0x43
Overclocking lock = 0xDF.
u do the same thing like in the video? i have the same CFG lock
@@machinectm1021 same thing yes except with these offsets not the ones in the video.

Dude thanks so much !!
You're welcome!
U R the BEST it worked
👍
Thanks for the clear and thorough tutorial.
I tried your method on a Dell inspiron 7506 with a Tigerlake i7 1165g7:
I managed to successfully change both variables to 0x0 as stated.
On throttlestop "unlock adjustable voltage" still greyed out, couldn't undervolt in the end.
I guess this time the lock is in the hardware level instead of the software level on older CPU (Bios update disabling undervolt after discovering the "Plundervolt" vulnerability)
@Grey Skies Nope. Works on my 11th gen dell xps 8940.
Thank you! :)) you saved my dell g5 5590 toaster, been looking for this fix for a while
Dell G5 5590 - I7 9750h - Bios 1.14 / 1.15.3 - "setup_var Setup 0x5C4 0x0" and "setup_var Setup 0x660 0x0"
You are welcome!
Thx man it worked for my asus tuf fx505gt,now whatever maybe the bios I can now undervolt.
Thank you. Pulled it off today even on bios 171. Now i can even run the 10750H on 3.8ghz from 65-70 C
You’re welcome and congrats on your temps!!
What are your settings?
@@ursinesaturn6723 simply -70mV and limit turbo boost to 44
@@duyvan247 okay, so your TPL still at 85, 107 defaults?
@@ursinesaturn6723 yeah,85 107 and 56. Messing them up will cause trouble for ACC i think.
finally done with my shjtty laptop, thank you so much for helping me undervolt my laptop. My laptop only have 8GB at first but than i upgrade it to 12Gb, the first step using bios backuptool kit 2.0 don't have 12Gb option and the 8Gb option don't have the overclocking or overclocking lock as we see in your video, only the 16Gb option have it.
Can you do a new tutorial for dell g15 ryzen editon?
I'll look into it.
You are real life mr.robot
great guide and works almost for all dell laptops (ofc you'll have to try and find the values for your model) dropped 10c on full load on my cpu.
Wow bro still works in 2021..
You're welcome! Thank you.👍
Thanks man, It worked! I currently have Bios 1.7.1 and had to install intel XTU 6.5.2.40
Did you notice anything different in 1.71 vs 1.6? More importantly, do you remember the var offset in 1.71? Is it the same as what is in the video or does it change from version to version?
Hello, can you help me with something?
Thank you so much! It’s working on Dell G3 3500, bios 1.7.1.
You're welcome!
Hey man! I wanted to ask, is this the G3 3500 with the i7-10750 RTX 2060? Also, did you follow this tutorial exactly to the letter? I have the same laptop as you and I'm worried if it would work or not. Some other tutorials said things would be different depending on the BIOS version. Please help.
Thank you!!! It is working on dell g5 5590 1.14
Could you help me to do the same? I have the dell g5 5590 with 1.14 BIOS, but when I run "setup_var CpuSetup 0x3E" in Grub it says "Unable to find variable store.". Thank you in advance!
@@guilhermemurari3995 0x3E is a name of variable. It is different on all laptops. You need to find and use the name of your own variable (4:30). Same for 0xDA. Try to use "Setup" instead of "CpuSetup"
@@flamk I was struggling with CpuSetup, with my g5 5590. Thanks for your comment.
Can you mention your variables please?
I have the same bios 1.14 and the same lap specs
Holy cow, thanks for this video.
I can't belive huge company like Dell produces really good but too quickly overheating piece of ...laptops.. It's like they want it to fail!
I love you! I'm from Brazil and works on my Dell G15. Great work! Tks
Nice, glad to see it worked out!
Still working, thx man u r my savior
PRAISE GOD this worked I love you so much
Thank you so much for such a detailed and easy-to-follow tutorial!
You are so welcome!
absolute GOAT thanks man!
thank you sir
Most welcome
Hello, can I talk to you about a topic? Thank you, I would be grateful to you.
Hello kris
Just did this on my 5500. Props bro!
Congrats! Some people can't get it working. Could be a BIOS version thing I suppose.
You are legend, friend. Only your tutorial helped me. Hello from Ukraine!
Glad it worked for you and Hi from the U.S!😃
Stay safe.
Thanks i saw others video but the last part was Mising
Will this guide work for the Dell G3 3500? New to undervolting and pc stuff here are my specs: i7 10750h and 1660ti .
Edit: It worked ty so much!!!! Did you do a video on throttestop for the thermals? A bit confused for on how to undervolt.
Thanks.. my Hp Pavilion undervolted now!
👍😉
Halo, boleh share settingan undervoltnya? Thanks!
Great video. Might have to give this a try, but doing a bit more research first. For now I'll continue to run at 100C!
😀
@@Meanpooh Gave this a go on my G5 5500, but bailed at the last step. First I had a bitlocker problem, but got around this by finding and entering the code, but then when I read the setup_var CpuSetup 0x3E it returned the message back: "Expected a different size of the Setup variable (got 820 (0x334) bytes). Continue with care... Successfully opened "CpuSetup" from VSS (got 820 (0x344) bytes). OFFset 0x3e is: 0x01". So I chickened out and rebooted without changing anything. I'll do some more research I guess....(laptop burning my knees as I write this comment! lol...)
Did you get the correct offsets?
@@Meanpooh Here are (blurry) images of what I got in the txt file: i.imgur.com/9az2F3a.jpg and the grub screen: i.imgur.com/KEZOCZw.jpg so not sure where I went wrong?
@@Meanpooh Also here is CpuSetup in the text file. i.imgur.com/iDMDHWv.jpg Everything seems the same as in your video except I'm getting the "proceed with caution" message so not sure if I should try it and potentially brick my laptop. Has me stumped
It says can’t find variable after I turn on grub
just want to say this still worked perfectly on my g5 5500 with a 1650ti and 10300h, now i can push my cpu to 4.2ghz all the time with no problems (ram still at multiplier 39 though becuase otherwise my chip gets to 60w)
Make sure bitlocker is disabled!
In Dell G5 5590 with 1.14 BIOS and Intel Core i7 9750H: "setup_var Setup 0x5C4 0x0" and "setup_var Setup 0x660 0x0"
Valeu! :) Pra quem tá tentando na Bios 1.15.3, mesmos valores!
@@diegoribeiro1531 mano saporra tá funcionando? No meu Dell g3 com a BIOS 1.9 não sei se vai funcionar
@@Tiospec
Aqui deu bom demais! Mas é o G5, acho que vale conferir se os valores do setup_var são os mesmos na bios do G3.
Dependendo tem que encontrar os parâmetros certos na hora de fazer.
No meu sistema foram esses aqui: (Dell G5 5590 - I7 9750h - Bios 1.14 / 1.15.3) "setup_var Setup 0x5C4 0x0" and "setup_var Setup 0x660 0x0"
Vi um cara nos comentários abaixo aí dizendo que conseguiu, mas eu sinceramente não manjo, dá uma pesquisada antes :)
@@diegoribeiro1531 aqui n funcionou, minha BIOS tá na 1.9, liberou o undervolt no throttlestop, mas qnd aplicava as config não se aplicavam, eu apenas desisti
After ages of searching it finally works, i did this on my g3 3500 because apparently it looks like they use the same bios and it worked!
You're welcome!👍
@@Meanpooh can you help me ? I can,t open ifr extractor, click on the program and nothing happens
@@trvphouse1227 I had the same issue. Make sure your are downloading the right IFR extractor. I downloaded the IFRExtractor that has the capitalized letters at the beginning and it worked.
Hey buddy idk if you still answer people but for some reason my offset 0x3e is still: 0x01 and not zero. why is this
Hi there, if anyone is wondering this, this still works in bios version 1.9.0.... the exact same steps...
After booting up the pendrive it says an operating system wasn't found ????

@@batuhantamer5974 i saw your other Comments. Ur using Dell G5?
Mine is Acer. But i suggest you to go to Dell’s Website and Check for ur Unit Drivers and Bios. Or i suggest if u got problem on ur laptop go to ur nearest Service Centers .
Ok thank you
I need help, whenever I change the value to 0x0 and I try to check if it changed, somehow it returns back to default value. Any fix? :(
Hey, when I search for overclocking in UEFI Tool, the search box is blank and nothing appears.

@@Dino-uu9yb Dell G3 15 3500 With 10750 and rtx 2060 with the newest firmware
i have 48gb Ram is there any way to setup on bios backup toolkit?
If I get a BIOS update, do I need to do this again, or is it unlocked permanently? Ive followed this, and you could not have made this any simpler! Thank you!
Thanks, you will have to do it again.
I am looking forward to see meanpooh to make a video on cyberpunk 2077 for the acer nitro 5 2020.
RetroLodge, I've been so busy at work for the last week or so that I have not made any videos. I've barely even replied to messages as the rise of covid cases are keeping us busy. I just played Cyberpunk last night and really didn't like it. Tooooooooo much talking and exposition. I get what they were trying to do and respect them for it. Combat is iffy as well. I stuck with it and the game got better after I got shot. Anyway, i'll have a video up with different resolutions and settings this morning. Did you happen to play it?
thanks alot man it worked for me.. I have the g5 5500 but I recently updated the bios to the latest version.. does that effect the undervolting or make the cpu less stable!!
Thx in advance
No, it shouldn't. Although sometimes it can make finding the address a pain.
Is there a way to keep the setting working? Everytime I restart my computer the undervolt setting is unable again
It's not supposed top do that. Maybe something went wrong during your input?
@@Meanpooh maybe it is because its another laptop, the inspiron 15 7567, maybe setting the overclocking lock to unable as default? But I dont know the command to do that, anyways it works and thats the point
did you resolve that?
Hey can you put the links in the description for ppl so its easier
do i need custom bios if the offset is read-only?
When im trying to search overclock on my dell g15 5511 , the search is just blank, it is selected on text
Does this work on intel i5 12500H CPU as well?
Unfortunately no.
Offset is out of range. Any ideas?
Mine says searching for variable store cpu setup unable to find variable store.
Hi, thank you for sharing this tutorial. I was wondering if it would be possible to modify a precision m4800 bios to make it recognize a nvme drive, I've seen a work around for the optiplex 7020 mt and people successfully make the bios recognize the drive, maybe I could use your method along with the optiplex 7020 tutorial to achieve that result?
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have a Dell G5 15 5500 and changed the values. They are both on 0x0 even after reset. Neither XTU nor Throttlestop will let me allow to change values. I also tired factory resetting the BIOS but that didn't work. I use BIOS version 1.7.1. What to do?
I noticed that when I re-export the BIOS and inspect the .FFS file the values are still on 0x01 (enabled). However, when I verify this with the grubx64, it shows they are on 0x00 (disabled). Maybe Windows added some patch to enable these settings upon boot? Would be horrific of course.
You might try to see if the Turbo Power Limits will work in Throttlestop. This will help get temps down by limiting power. You're not the first to run into the problem.
@@Meanpooh Thank you for your response! I probably can but I don't want to limit performance on my brand new 1 day old laptop. I bought it knowing it would be possible to mod it for undervolting. Do you possibly know what the problem could be? Hardware lock which isn't fixable in the bios? Error on my part? Other bios settings?
Update: I'm just dumb. Intel XTU still doesn't work, but throttlestop works now. I just forgot to enable it and thought it was greyed out because both programs were not working. I put -0.125 volt on the core and cache and called it a day for now. Thanks!
@@WafoeGaming Everyone makes mistakes, glad you got it together. 👍
Im havig the same problem with UEFI, where Im selecting the file we read, I wont show what show up in your screen. And yes, I hace try many times with the universal Bios backup
When i put bios copy in uefi tool it doesnt read it and says unknow file system
Volume has ffs file with invalid size
Volume parsing failed with error ”inavlid
Does anyone with the G5 have the ability to restore Bios to factory settings or is this the method in this video the only option?
This is only modifying the BIOS not an install.
hello, I'm looking to enable undervolting in my g5 5500 2020. Does it still work in 2022?
Will this work on my paperweight G5 5590 (i7-9750h rtx2060)?
ifr extractor is giving me an error cant open it for some reason
Will this work with Dell G15 5520 i712700H ?
Unfortunately, no.
I cant make it worked. Followed the steps and it only shows a few options on the EUFItool. WHat version were you using when you did the video?
I'm debating on doing this tonight but concerned and don't want to mess anything up. Running Cyberpunk on an undervolted *GPU* 2070mq Dell G5 5500....
Cpu 85 degrees average gpu 71 degrees average CPU 3624mhz average and GPU 1515mhz!
Fans at 92%
Thats pretty decent and don't want to mess anything up. Potentially I could save power and get even better thermals undervolting the cpu but I hear 5% of all i7 10750h will crash at -0.50v
If I do do it will Dell's usual power limits and everything work fine and keep the cpu at around 85 degrees but with potentially higher clocks?
My 16.1 HP Victus 13700HX laptop has 2x NVME 4.0 slots, but there is no VMD or RAID settings in the BIOS to raid the 2 NVME drives.
Is it possible to use similar BIOS modding tools to "unlock" VMD and RAID?? the 13700HX supports VMD and raid, its just that its not in the bios that HP has.
Much appreciated!

hi dude , amazing video, quick question hope you can help me out, i have a dell g15 5510 i5-10500H, you think you can help me out with some reference to undervolt cpu core and cpu cache, what would be a good starting point for the offset values? I've read that -95 mV is a good starting point for most 10th gen comet lake processors but i was hoping for some guidance since this will be my first time doing this , any help would be appreaciated it 👍
-100 is a good start. Use this video as a reference. th-cam.com/video/ze8dN1UyAGQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Meanpooh
MP and others who applied the mod, can you tell me if one can upgrade the bios without losing the mod? Or, do you simply redo the whole patch?
