I have an Acer Aspire E1-571-6454 Preloaded with Windows 8. I havent updated to windows 8.1 yet.
I currently have BIOS version V2.17 Rev. 3.7
I would like to request an unlock of the BIOS for the advanced menu in order to overclock the gpu frequency. I attempted to do this through Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility but upon applying new frequency it disables manual tuning and doesnt apply the change. Acer seems to have it blocked as i already had to uninstall acers intel hd 4000 driver and switch it out for the one from intel since it was being dumb and rendering games very oddly and unplayable. Also all of the manual tuning for the cpu are blocked and cannot be changed from the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.
I had gone to THIS page but was iffy since im not that profound in BIOS and would not like to brick my pc.
So if possible, could anyone unlock the BIOS for the advanced settings

You can download the bios from HERE under the BIOS section set for windows 8 x64-bit and says " BIOS - UEFI for Windows 8 (Not for Upgrades)" meaning it is for machines preinstalled with windows 8
I would most likely be able to throw in a $5 bounty (not trying to be cheap but as a college freshman I have a tight budget)
