Hello, So I have a Lenovo ThinkStation S20 Workstation on which the BIOS is locked, so I overclocked its
Intel Xeon W3680 3.33Ghz CPU with ThrottleStop, but I can only reach up to 28 and it would be stable, but going higher than that, even 29, will result in crashing. So I figured out that I need to increase the voltage of the CPU, but the BIOS is locked and that's why I overclocked the CPU with ThrottleStop.

The questions I have are:

1) Is there is any way that I can mod my BIOS to add Voltage Adjusment settings?

2) Is there is any program that can adjust voltage by bypassing the BIOS settings, like ThrottleStop?

Thanks, regards.

1. not really not without modifing the bios chip which will brick the board not worth it.

2. voltages are locked for a reason these boards arent designed with occing in mind they dont have robust protections built in your more likely to burn something.
