I own this laptop and comb the internet in vain looking for any way this can be improved.
The laptop has an ASUS EZ Flash utility integrated in the BIOS.
However it's not that this particular BIOS has anything locked out, it's just not there at all. The CPU can be software overclocked flawlessly with the Ryzen Master Utility, and the GPU can be flashed to get over the 1077mhz clock limit, however there's absolutely no memory configuration utility, hardware or software even viewable. When you click the memory on EZ mode, just shows you the installed sticks and their frequency. The "advanced" mode is even more useless not showing anything at all.
The GL702ZC uses a B350 chipset, and a GUI BIOS. I wonder if the BIOS of a similar ASUS motherboard that actually is unlocked, can be compiled with this one, or if this is a special case motherboard. Because I believe the dedicated onboard GPU is routed directly through the B350 PCI-E bus, and everything else about the board when you crack it open, looks like it would be a micro ATX motherboard with the bottom half sawn off.
