I've managed to mod the bios myself with the help of some tutorial over the internet and I think I've already unlocked everything in the BIOS.I successfull with this
The Windows Experience Index for my primary storage(SSD) increased from 5.9 to 6.9 after playing with some of the hidden setting. And turning off some ACPI related setting result in a +0.1(from 3.7 to 3.8) to CPU's score too(no overclocking is done yet).
I will try to find if I miss any hidden settings/tabs and will mod again whenever I'm free.
In order to gain access to all the "hidden settings" first you have to enable "AMD Page" in the Advanced tab and save and restart.
Most of the settings should be ok to change. The worst case will just a BSOD and you can revert the settings by rebooting.
But I've noticed that enabling certain setting will result in a brick(for example enabling USB3.0).
In case of a brick, you'll just have to copy a compatible BIOS file(R0162Z7.fd) to a thumb drive and rename the BIOS file to TucanaBRX64.fd (or maybe TucanaBRX64.f). After that plug in the thumb drive and turn on the laptop whl holding Fn + Esc. And the magic will happen.
My Laptop is SONY VPC13DK
Thanks alot
