[Request] Acer W500 1.14 BIOS -- unlock/disable Cool N Quiet

[Gabe]

Acer Iconia TAB W500
BIOS: Acer 1.14 BIOS
Platform: AMD Fusion Brazos C-60 APU
What to unlock: All CPU features, VDD/VID profiles, frequency limits, multipliers, etc -- anything that could be used to squeeze performance out of the CPU and integrated GPU.
In order of priorities:
1. Cool N' quiet, or all available menu options
2. Unlocked cpu frequency divider and/or multiplier/fsb
3. Anything else graphics/cpu related

I want to be able to overclock this device to the max, play around with CPU/GPU frequencies/voltages, and so on.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, it's an InsydeH2O bios.

Specifically and most importantly, I want to disable Cool and Quiet. I need this disabled so I can use the overclocking tools to force cpu to P0 and lock it in.

Pleae forgive me a stupid question like this one, but: what do you mean "flashed it pure dos"? I have Linux installed on my Tab- Ubuntu 13.04, and i have an stick with freeDos on it. so How can I flash this Bios?

I am not totally new into that subject, but I have problems understanding special terms. So in fact, I have no clue, what flashing in pure dos means....

Thanks in advance


Update: With the flashit utility it tells me, the old version is iconia tab w500 and the new one is bb and its not supported... any ideas?
