LOL scott, to be honest, the only thing stopping me from downloading them and trying it is finding the time to read how to flash a vBios (couldnt be that different from normal Bios Flashing) and getting those five posts.
I would probably get to it eventually; the adjustable power target, voltage range and uncapped clock I find very alluring.
But of course, to each their own. and if you do not know how this works, nor feel comfortable flashing a vBios, by all means DO NOT attempt it.
abeepak1, I do know how it works, and that is why I am making light of the disaster I know will befall anyone not willing to invest the time to learn how to do it correctly.
Backing up the original vbios, making sure that the replacement vBios fits in Flash, making sure the format matches, making sure the patching checks out, and then - not being the first one to do it on a $3000 laptop 🙂
Please, noone do this until someone that knows what they are doing, and can recover from a loss easily, does it first and makes a how to guide and a cache of tested / known good vbioses for our Asus G750's that actually do something useful - just because it removes the limits doesn't mean there is enough headroom to be useful.
How about I post a picture of the last user to try this, and fail... 🙂

I may have been unclear in my choice of words for that post you quoted, thus I apologize in that regard. I was not pointing out that you "hmscott" does not know how to do it, but was pointing out to the general audience if you will, that "if you do not know how this works or have the expertise, DO NOT attempt it". So I do share your sentiments in that regard.
Though whether or not enough head room is provided or whether or not this will be remotely useful to the community is ultimately up for the user to decide.
