With extensive research and modifications, I come to finally unlock this beasty laptop =]
Asus G75VX
BIOS - Custom .204 Version Bios modded by myself[httuner]
GPU Bios- Asus GTX670MX - custom modded to increase core clock ability +600mhz instead of the +135mhz limit
I'm wanting to push this baby to 1000mhz + but that would require a small bump in voltage, which I will get to eventually but since this is my everyday laptop, I might not try to kill it so fast so now its time for me to do some overclocking =]
Validation:http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/vcspv/
910mhz on GPU Clock
1300mhz on Memory Clock
Max overclocked achieved with OEM Card, No Volt mods or increase_
3DMark11 Score: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/6188137
This program doesn't read my clocks correctly so ignore the clocks:
I can post more benchies, but its the only benchmark program I have right now lol
Updated Results* GPU at 1000mhz Benchrun

Asus G75VX gpuBIOS
GTX670MX Core overclocking unlocked*
Increase Memory Clock to 1100mhz to allow MemClk to be overclocked past its limits*
-This is the GPU bios only and not the System BIOS_

1.Make a backup of your original SYSTEM BIOS, using the following FTK Software provided below--
Please flash and backup with FTK Flashing software:
Here is a link to the FTK Flashing software information and where to get the lastest version*
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1726429
Download the DOS Version_ DO not download the Windows version since you won't be using it.
Update** The link above seems to be bad so heres a new link to get the FTK Flashing software* Its not in english but easy to understand, just click on the DOS version link.

You have to create a bootable USB and place the FTK DOS files into the USB Drive, the link I provided above will show you how to do this and it provides link to download the software to create the bootable USB and the FTK Files needed:
To backup your bios, after you have created the bootable USB Drive with FTK DOS files in it, you restart your laptop and boot from the USB Stick, then type in these commands for backing up:

2. These next steps are to show you what you need to do to be able to insert in the new Modified GPU vBIOS that you downloaded above into your SYSTEM Bios that you just backed up, you must do this in windows:
Download MMTool from here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/83er4m
Open up MMTool:
Click on LOAD IMAGE - then select the backup.rom file that you created with FTK as suggested down there_
Go to the REPLACE Tab, and select the modified GPU Bios that you downloaded by clicking BROWSE_
Select the box LINK PRESENT:
Under Vendor ID, Device ID: it should say 10de, 11a_ (will be different for different laptops)
Click Replace_
Then click save to save your BIOS and proceed with steps to flash it under FTK_ This process just replaces the original GPU BIOS with the Modify Version I created_
Before flashing this BIOS please reset your overclocks if you use software* otherwise your video drivers will crash upon reboot. i.e. MSi Afterburner[/B]
To flash this Modified BIOS_ You can not use Asus EZFlash and DO NOT* I repeat DO NOT use WinFLash. Always flash from DOS, never in windows since the chances of something going wrong is much higher in windows then in DOS_
3.Place this modified BIOS into the bootable USB flash drive with the FTK DOS files that you created earlier then reboot and boot from the USB drive. Please have your Power supply plugged in and your battery installed.
Then go ahead and type in this command:
Quote:
POWER OFF after you flash. It won't take effect until you do, unplug your laptop from the wall, then remove the battery_ Push the power button to completely drain any power left inside the laptop. Hold it for a good 10 seconds then replace battery and wall plug then power it On_ You might have to do this since sometimes the old BIOS settings is saved into RAM. Have fun and HAPPY MODDING
-You might have to reboot several times for your computer to adjust itself to the new vBIOS_ GPU-Z will sometimes read the wrong clocks, if you see that GPU-Z isn't reading the clocks correctly then just restart your laptop a few times.
Edit* To be able to boot into your USB Stick, you must go to your BOOT Tab and DISABLE Fast Boot, Enable Launch CSM, DIsable PXE Rom, then go to your SECURITY Tab and DISABLE Secure Boot_
Save changes in BIOS and restart, press ESC and it should bring up the boot menu with your USB Stick as a selection, select it and you got it_ I think thats it lol

Wait until it successfully flashes your BIOS, at the end you should receive some kind of green Success sentence, once you get that then proceed with next steps:
