HP Victus 15 RX6500M completely locked — tried everything, considering BIOS mod with CH341A — anyone done this?

HP Victus 15 AMD — BIOS Unlock + Power Limit Removal

Hi everyone,

I have an HP Victus 15 with a locked BIOS that restricts GPU and CPU performance significantly.

Specs:

  • HP Victus 15 Laptop
  • AMD Ryzen 5 5600H (Cezanne)
  • AMD Radeon RX 6500M (Discrete/Hybrid)
  • 16GB DDR4 3200 MT/s Dual Channel
  • Windows 11 x64
  • BIOS Version: F.24

Request:

  • Unlock AMD CBS hidden menu
  • Remove GPU power limit lock (currently locked at ~35-40W)
  • Remove CPU TDP restrictions
  • Enable memory overclocking support
  • Disable HP Sure Start signature verification if possible

What I've already tried:

  • MorePowerTool — no PowerPlay table found in registry
  • GPU-Z BIOS read — blocked by OEM
  • MSI Afterburner — locked by OEM
  • AMD Adrenalin manual tuning — completely greyed out
  • DDU + clean AMD driver install — no change
  • RyzenAdj/UXTU — CPU side working but GPU fully locked
  • Registry scan for PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable — not found
