You can try using nvflash yourself, using the command line, from our downloads section.

First of all, why do you want to change it and what do you want to change? Ask this to yourself: Is it worth the risk of bricking my shinny new laptop?

No idea, never played around with vbios of laptops... I mostly played with the bios of older cards, back in the days...

RMA it if it keeps throttling and if you can't play games with it.

I do not recommend overclocking a videocard of a laptop, what are your GPU load temps?
Why did you not buy a laptop with a more powerful card/better cooling in the first place?

bad choice - getting bad recommendation
near 70c - worst case 75c
gpu hit its power limit sometimes and gpu offset clock base is set to +135 and cant get more offset

Have a look at this post at TI forums: lenovo y50-70 860M (4GB) overclock <-- Ferkosza, over there says:

I have used Intel's Firmware Programming Tool for Windows (fptw64.exe) to read my BIOS on my Lenovo Y50-70 w/ 960M.

and tells how to do it.

And, maybe, someone there can mod the vBIOS for you, too.

Don't get upset if you brick the thing.
Goodluck.
