Helios 500 - Vega 56 - OC vBIOS ?

Hey guys!
I have purchased a Helios 500 laptop with Vega 56.
Checking it's power states with overdriveNtool I have got this:

As you can see it is pretty low compared to a real desktop Vega 56.

The reason behind this is obviously NOT because of temps because even with Auto fan the VGA will not go above 70C even after long period of gaming where the GPU is used 100%.

WattMan is completely disabled and NTool is also disabled from saving changes.

My question to Acer:
1) Could you please release an OC vBIOS with higher core clock? Like 1401 Mhz instead of 1301 Mhz? The cooling system can easily handle it and the free extra 4-5 FPS would help a lot.

2) Or if you are afraid that people would start bricking their laptops with vBIOS flashing, could you please release a modded driver where Wattman is enabled? (with certain limits of OC)

Kinda sad that you allow CPU overclocking but the VGA is completely castrated

Or anyone else have an idea how to get more power out of this card?

ps: Acer also disabled overclocking in Predator Sense...Acer allows CPU overclocking for the Ryzen CPU, but not for Vega 56

I'm about to get this laptop and would love this feature. I've seen the Cinebench r15 scores for multicore are around 1800 but you should be able to overclock/undervolt.

The score in Cinebench is around 1500 without overclock (actually possible to slightly undervolt and all turbo at 3.4GHz which is a decent longevity / performance compromise), and around 1650 with a 1.3V 3.9GHz all clock turbo.
Are there no 3rd party apps where GPU can be overclocked?

Has there been a solution found for this issue?

There's no way around the board power limits, but you can up the clocks using MSI Afterburner. You have to check allow overclocking in the settings, reboot and then both afterburner and portions of Wattman work. I've gotten mine up to 1450mhz, which results in around 1425mhz actual clocks, with ram up to 900mhz. Any higher and it hits the 120W board limit and throttles.

Good afternoon friends. Recently I bought the Helios 500 Ryzen 2600. I did not find anywhere else information about overclocking the GPU.
1.I am wondering if there will ever be an update to ZEN 2? Or can I not wait?
2. I read on the forum that gpu is accelerated to 1400MHZ, but how ??? please give a video instruction.
3.If I buy 3200MHZ memory, will it work? I will not be able to overclock the native memory through ryzen master.cpu-z does not show which memory is in which slots.
Sorry for my English, I use a translator. Thank you very much for the answers.
