I'll answer for him. The Aluminum version has a locked bios, but you CAN replace it with the unlocked bios and have all those settings back, so they're still possible.
Hi PHAWX. I've recently bricked my GPD Win during a bios update and I managed to unbrick it using a cheap USB bios programmer. I know you are currently busy with the GPD Win 2 prototype but if you are interested, I've posted additional info on Reddit about it. Thanks for the videos!
How much does disabling turbo boost from happening in the win 1 help temps? I want the win 1 to run at 1.6ghz and never exceed that. To help with heat and preserve battery from expanding do to heat.
I have a tip for you! Watch Tech City's video of optimizing windows 10 for gaming and do everything he does. Watch both tutorials he made from before and after the anniversary update just to be shure. Update Windows 10 to latest version and update the graphics drivers. Set an fps limit to 30fps in every game with vsync and frametiming on. You can install games on a flashdrive and/or sd card for faster read and write speeds of the game. The GPD Win will be a perfect compact gaming PC when you do this.
FWIW, Memory Scrambling isn't really related to security - it exists to reduce Simultaneous Switching Noise (often discussed under the term Simultaneous Switching Outputs - SSO). There should not be any measurable change in performance with or without scrambling, and although it seems to work for you, it is important to keep scrambling *on* to avoid SSO problems. In short, the problem of SSO is that a typical data pattern might involve switching all the data lines on both channels (128 lines total!) from zero to one or vice-versa, which causes a large instantaneous current. Since the power delivery network and chip internals have finite resistance, the supply voltage droops (or ground voltage rises). The net effect is that the electrical margins are reduced. If the margins reduce too much, ones will swap with zeroes or vice-versa, causing bad data to be read/written to RAM.
thanks Phawx, great video. I just got my win and tweaked my bios settings. No discernable difference other than idle temps are definitely down (no longer warm just on the desktop), probably because of the GPU setting you mentioned for preventing the system from always running at 600mhz. Got a few things running pretty nicely, going to start the windows battle next.
Two lanes vs 4 lanes is just the bandwidth available through display port. It's similar to having extra PCIe lanes, except it's only for display bandwidth (and audio when used).
Hey dude really cool videos! I just ordered a gpd win the new aluminium lid and looking to do some mods which you have done. Is it still viable to re-flash bios with the older one and make your bios tweaks? And would you recommend the heatsink mod still? Thanks
I know you are getting a ton of requests right now. Can you show off some racers like Grid, Dirt, Project Cars etc? Great videos by the way going to be ordering my gpd win very soon.
Yea. Just finished uploading Minecraft which someone else wanted to know if it runs well (it does). Next video is going to be on Demul and Atomiswave emulation. After that I look into a racer to record. Think I might do Blur
Hadn't even thought of racing games until this thread. Good thing the last two racing games to really grab my attention, Split/Second (same dev as Blur, IIRC) and NFS Shift, are pretty old.
Hey! Thanks for the videos so far. Im loking forward to get mine, but the "display over USB type C" option caugth my attention. I have a Lumia 950XL and i think the continuum dock migth be a very usefull accessory for the GPD win :-) Keep up the good work.
Just FYI, I did buy a USB-C to Displayport cable and I tried both 2-lane and 4-lane mode in the bios and nothing worked :( I tried on two different monitors with DisplayPort. Windows does make a sound that something is happening, but I can't see anything in device manager so I'm not sure what the issue is really. It could be that my cable is bad or it could be that it's not physically wired on the PCB. Going to need other people to test this out on.
I just did a test with my microsoft display dock. Didn't work. Couldn't even get USB KB/mouse to work with it.. Rather sad that we miss out on easy docking :(
I've been interested in this heatsink mod. You keep talking about it.Is it literally just adding a piece of copper or aluminum with some thermal paste to the CPU?
mycraftisbest there is already a large copper heatsink on the device. But it's very inefficient because the part that touches the CPU is CNC'D. when I do the heatsink mod video I'll record Temps before and after. I'm getting an 8700 version in tomorrow. I just want to test a few things and most likely I'll do the heatsink mod this weekend
Great videos, and thank you so much. Haven't ordered mine yet, but was wondering if I only made alterations that weren't temperature-related or memory scrambler, would I still see an improvement?
Dill Zilla GPD locked out the bios in later versions. You can get these settings again by downgrading the bios. I have a video showing the bios installation
So can you say how many you can win with this OC generaly (% in a game) ? It's to know if performances are interesting to risk 80° temp. I wonder about thermal paste if she is good quality too. If not maybe it's a good idea to apply Arctic Silver 5.
So I've watched a couple of your videos of the GPD Win so far and what I take away from them is that it's basically a great device for light games like Myst, Strider, Terraria, Transistor, the new Myst sequel, BroForce, FEZ, Deponia, Bleed, The Longest Journey and other games like that. And that it's suitable for emulation as well and really not suited for triple A 3d games. Would you agree with that assessment?
hey I plan on using my gpd win for gaming, its going to be the fanless version. if I follow your instructions will this enable better performance for gaming? Also, you recommend me doing thus at all?
Where are you getting the fanless? The fanless was a prototype. The only ones they sell are 8700 + fan. Secondly, no. I don't recommend anyone doing this unless you will mod the heatsink. And modding the heatsink is difficult and can easily break your device.
Um.........I have mine and I am noticing something. Connect the Power Cable and when Shut Down, try Powering up. I get the GPD Logo............quick 2 Icons in the Upper Left..........Battery Charging Screen............Powered Off???????????? Huh????? LOL
WetWorks i actually doit and i almost break the console... plus NOW it looks horrible...but at least i find some pvc moldes , so i can used then to make a portable water cooling solution with a fish tank motor and a bottle of water and the radiator of a water cooling solution that i buy on internet ...the only down side is that i need to unscrew and screw the pipes every time i used the console to play video games... the results ? dead space 3 very high settings with 35 34 fps ..gta 5 fully playable at low setting 45 fps ...maybe im gonna make a video..i need to find some one to cast a custom back cover of the console, so i can used it my water cooling pipes with not as ugly lookin
@Anthony novel I've planning a big project, a project to cool down the gpd win about 20°C to overclock the cpu and gpu enormous. This is a dream, a dream that hopefully come true, see this later on CZcams i think
update: microsoft claims the the next arm generation, the snapdragon 835 it will be capable to run full windows 10 with full game settings , basically you gonna be able to install windows 10 on a galaxy s8 wich gonna have the 835 on board...what that means ? considering that the sd835 its a lot faster than the cherry trail and a lot more eficent its pointles to buy the gpd win... can you imagine playing gta 5 on a phone ?
U cant run it since it only supports 32 bit windows in which almost no modern games support.Emulation also takes up a bunch of resources(like how u need a gaming pc to emulate wii u)
Hello, what is the bios version you use, i didn't found on the internet, could you pleas put a link ? Thanks you
Před 3 lety
Hey Phawx bro, I buy a GPD Win that only has blue light and screen is black and no fan, bought it thinking it be simple fix, joke on me.. do you know the hot key combo to clear the cmos? When I power it on I’m getting nothing and I’ve tried everything on CZcams even took the bios chip off and flashed It in CH341A programmer and it said thy both match when it was finished, put chip back on motherboard and still just blue light and can’t get into bios no matter what key combo I try like the del or vol +... any ideas to get me into bios or hot key combo... sucks I paid $250 for it and it’s mint cons, buddy I buy from said they updated windows and when it was done and was rebooting it just never booted back up and it’s where it’s at now the blue light? Any help would be great and thanks...
I dont know.... but wen i save this settings.. the consolé restart.... but not start again.. only blue led... i am buing a eeprom to flash the bios.... maybe it can restore the brick... any comment?
Which, if any, of these tweaks do you think would be safe for an unmodified Win? Supposedly the z8700's safe temperature is up to 70C, would it be safe to raise the temp ceiling to that number with just the Win's built in cooling?
Justin Wong There is no high performance option in the settings. In the video, he had to go into the registry in order to bypass the block on it. The only problem was that it was unclear what he did.
Have you tried anything like Game Booster or Razer Cortex to boost gaming performance of your GPDWin? I should be receiving my unit very soon but unfortunately its the 8700 not 8750 although that's what I ordered from Geekbuying.
I wouldn't get too hung up on the 8700 vs the 8750. It still remains to be seen if the 8700 is actually better than the 8750. When more people get units in we'll know for sure. As for those game boosting software, I generally avoid them. There are some interesting ones like dynamic resolution changing based on load, but the other game boosting software does settings that I already apply to my Windows machine by default (no hibernation file, customize page file, disable unneeded services, group policy edits.) so they usually hurt performance in my case.
This was a very helpful video. I have one question though. Would it be possible to have the High Performance power option visible and retain the lid open function? Before changing the registry It would resume operation when the lid is opened and the change had the side effect of disabling it.
Do you mean the sleep function? If so, just go into the advanced settings and change the options for when the lid closes and opens. If not, could you explain a bit more?
Well I've just been looking into it. Basically I want the feature that's being disabled (Connected Standby). So I suppose unless there is another unrelated way to enable it, it isn't possible.
Yeah I figured that part out. I was just asking if you had any ideas to keep CS and have High Performance. I was able to write a batch file that enables the High Performance, but I'm not sure that it's actually worked besides changing the name of the profile.
Actually I believe you can. Do these steps: Change CSenabled to 0, reboot and enable high performance mode. In the Bios, put "Allow High Performance Mode" to enable then go back to windows and put CSenabled to 1 and reboot. You should still have "High Performance mode enabled but CSenabled will be at 1 still. If you move the power profile to balance, you'll have to do these steps over again.
Kagaya tesura Newer GPDWins have newer bios that locks out these features. I believe it's possible to downgrade bios but check Reddit for specific version.
why my core speed is only 1.6ghz i have a onda obook 10 pro with z8700 and i do work from u bios video and my clock stay solid on 1.6ghz under games, i saw on you video in skyrim that you clock is up to 2.4ghz on all cores.
It *might* be possible, in the BIOS you can set the TF card from partial install to full install, the only other thing is you'd need the drivers to load during the install process as the TF card won't show the drive during that time. I would suspect it wouldn't work, but there is an option in the BIOS, I should give it a try.
Andy Bateman I was using windows 10 for a year and then I switched back to 7 because of many reasons. I doubt there are windows 7 drivers for this thing. Anyway, have you tried the pure faction community patch?
The Phawx I checked my BIOS version and it matches the one u have in the video though? But then again this is one of the most recent Win's that they have shipped. Thats depressing
The Phawx Hey! By the way you CAN downgrade, maybe it was a bit risky but it did work following your tutorial. Just thought you would be interested. A few others on the GPD Subreddit also did it and were successful. Keep up the good work.

Sorry, audio is through AUX channel on displayport.
Can you please do a video on how to flash the BIOS to a previous build? The new BIOS allows almost no changes to be done at all.
If I update the bios, the overclock will disapear?
I did everything in the video and my gpd pocket started no problems with all the tweaks applied.
Palwinder Jutley update?
looks great, cant wait to get mine in a few days !!
The Phawx What would you say the top you should go on the thermal limit regarding using stock cooling ?
I made some changes to the BIOS, after I pressed save, my device lights up the power LED, but it won't start. What can I do to fix this?
You ever find out?

TheBoomslangnz just the heatsink mod
Do you make a new performance video for Gpd 1?
dude, do you have the GPD pocket? would love to see some vids if so. cheers man!! great vids for the win B.T.W!
Passive trip point means your fan turns on at that temp. You aren't changing the thermal throttle point.

Javier Smith not really. Also GPD released a new BIOS update that prevents users from making changes.
The Phawx okay, thanks for the quick reply!
my GPD doesn't have any advanced settings. is there any special way to get these and if so how? and if not do you have any know anything about it?

If I do exactly what you do will my GPDwin still work
technically thats a UEFI emulating a BIOS I think... however nice video's man!
Have you the unlocked bios version ? :( I don't find anymore
Which, if any, of these tweaks do you think would be safe for an unmodified Win? Supposedly the z8700's safe temperature is up to 70C, would it be safe to raise the temp ceiling to that number with just the Win's built in cooling?
Its safe temperature is up to 95 degrees and operates during gaming between 70 to 78 degrees celcius
where can i get the bios update (d/l Link) ?
is there a way to have a better processor...like ugrade it
Can somebody please explain in depth on where to go in the Registry in order to enable High Performance mode?
Go to cortana,type in settings,go to power saving or something like that and change it to high performance mode

The BIOS is American Megatrends' Aptio!!! isn't that?
Lol I ain't gonna do this, I'll rather not have a heart attack.
