Hello everyone,
I recently bought the G512LV and it came with v306 for it's BIOS. While that version allows me to undervolt with -80, it's not nearly enough as it only increases frequencies but does not reduce temps. I also can't undervolt in Windows with neither XTU or Throttlestop. The laptop runs hot and I and surely many other would like to reduce their temps without having to open up the laptop and change the LM application and void their warranty at best and at worse completely fry their machines.
Older BIOS versions are regularly being removed from their download pages and I am afraid to update the BIOS in fear of the new version completely disabling undervolting. Some other G5xx models actually have their older BIOS version available for download but mine does not. I find this extremely weird! I have to block WU from forcibly updating the BIOS. You can either completely allow us to undervolt with no restrictions or put a disclamer informing us of the risks. Or allow us to download earlier BIOS version if that can help. Many of us don't really care about Plundervolt especially compared to our laptops meeting and early grave from high temps. I only have a 2060 and I can only imagine how much worse it is for
Please allow us to fully use the full capabilities of the machines we pay a premium for!

If there's an option to load unlocked BIOS (or settings in it), stating clearly it's under you own risk, not holding Asus responsible, what law suit are we talking about?! Give the client chances not restriction. It's a possibility to attract more customers.

it would be a class action, technically someone could file a class action for Asus taking no action to resolve this but it needs to be proven in court and the more people that have this issue the more validity it has but the same if for the reverse. Asus defence would be that they're following the guidelines from their chipset supplier intel in this case and thus it wouldn't win regardless.
Technically you do have a choice with older models but for newer models these restrictions will be the norm till intel fix the security flaws from undervolting their chips

Ofcourse but if they release a BIOS in which by default the Plundervolt fix works and it takes more than one click to unlock voltages, it means you did it on purpose, despite Asus' warnings. So - in this scenario Asus are with clean hands and users are happy. It's all about right formulation of text in order to avoid lawsuits.
