Another advantage one gets from BIOS unlocking is the possibility to enhance the BIOS.
Some of the hardware such as the CPU or the RAM has certain restricted values that cannot be altered even by the user.
Enabling BIOS leads to unlocking of such features as these in order to optimize the operation of any computer system.
The following can be done if the BIOS is unlocked:
- How to Over Clock Your CPU and RAM for Increased Speed – Over clocking increases your processor’s clock rate to that of a higher speed than the normal recommended rate.
This come in handy especially for gaming, video editing and any heavy tasks in general on the computer.
In the same manner, increasing the frequency of the RAM increases the rate at which information is transferred, consequently enhancing multitasking and quicker launches of the applications. - Change the voltage to control the power- using this approach it would be possible to lower the CPU voltage while still boosting stability making it perfect for Laptops or power protective systems.
On the other hand, increasing the voltage levels can improve performance in all overclocked systems, if only they get sufficiently cooled. - Turn on x.reset of the Memory Control through the BIOS – Most modules have Intel’s Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) to get the RAM to its optimal speed.
However, there are XMP options that are typically enabled in BIOS but are southwest Airlines disabled by default.
This allows you to unlock BIOS in order to activate XMP to enhance the functioning of your RAM and the overall functionality of your PC.
It is done to optimize your computers in its performance and by doing so, the user can have a faster computer without having to buy new equipments.
Enhancing Hardware Compatibility
Freeware also means that users are able to boot with a greater hardware compatibility in order to install and set rather more components that are not usually recognized by BIOS.
Most system manufacturers lock the BIOS settings in an attempt at limiting hardware modification, thus depriving users from upgrading some of the parts.
But there is a possibility of unlocking these restrictions and thus a number of opportunities that can be seen in the system upgrading.
The general capabilities of an unlocked BIOS include:
- Hard Wired Conductors – Some older or budget motherboards can officially support only a few processors despite the fact that other newer or more powerful chips could be installed without any issues.
For that, it is possible to enable additional abilities in your BIOS and install more CPUs than you would be able to do otherwise, thereby increasing your motherboard’s useful life expectancy. - Integrated Peripherals – Some of the latest high-end cooling technologies include liquid cooling or high-performance air cooling, and these come with certain settings that have to be made at the BIOS level.
A BIOS unlock feature enables the users to adjust the fans, pumps, and thermal controls aptly to improve the cooling process. - Enhance SSD/NVMe – Some mainboards will bottleneck SSD and NVMe drives due to BIOS configurations.
Unleashing BIOS allows you to enable additional higher bandwidth generating technologies like PCIe Gen 4 and even manually configuring drive parameters as to optimize it for maximum read/write rates.
In this way, the users can free those parameters to gain greater flexibility, let their hardware meet its capacity and provide for further modifications, which may be useful without imposing additional limitations.
