Product: 8470w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want a bios update from HP that lets me overclock my CPU, GPU and RAM hardcore/freestyle and not with all the locked up features that you so kindly incist to implent year after year. My guaranties have all expired so i take full responsibility for my actions and i will not blame any mistakes at all on HP if i fail. But i wount fail. I know what im doin when it comes to OC´ing since ive pretty much done it with all my computers since back at early Pentium 486 @ 16 Mhz. So guess if i was surprised when entering bios on my very first Elitebook (this one) and found every power, multiplier and so on hidden and locked 😞 

 

So here i stand with fingers crossed on both hands and asking you calm and polite if this is doable pretty please. Or do i really have to do the last resort ant retire my Elitebook and get myself a new laptop with a completely different brand? I love the components in the Elitebook W version very much so it would really be a shame to not continue using it.

 

Please help me out guys.

 

Best regards from Sweden

I don't work for HP. My answer is based on experience, of which I have plenty, being antiquated and all. They are not going to write a BIOS for you that allows overclocking. 

 

So stop acting like a petulant child. Feel free to go to any other company and see if they will write you a custom BIOS. Good luck.

You mean you aint gonna help me out here? Well what can you say....  Worst service ever. As soon as youre warranty has ended you do like all other "bad" companies, you become brief and unreasonable. Thats a shame. I usually never get unpolite and im always trying to look for anything positive with an negative answer from support. But in this case all i see is a bitter antiquated man.. 

 

No more HP products for me and the reason is you, only you. Sarcastic women aint hot. Learn from that.
