I went online and searched for something relevant to enabling advanced settings on Insyde BIOS and there are quite some discussion around this topic, including flashing a modded firmware to BIOS and this wonderfully simple solution of The BIOS settings very much disappointed me with its about ten options with the only meaningful one being the boot order configuration. Anyhow, that only shows how remote I have been from the field. I have never seen this vendor: back when I got my last laptop, I only saw Award, AMI, and Phoenix BIOS around in the market. So I got a HP Pavilion dv6tqe recently and its BIOS is from Insyde.

So when I got my new laptop, I quickly went its BIOS settings and tried to examine all its available settings and whether they are fine tuned for the best performance (CPU states/voltages, memory latency/clock, etc are crucial to achieving this goal). I like to focus on details, often to a painstaking degree: I feel the constant need to adjust the balance between the details and the whole.
