While these kinds of changes to the graphics card BIOS might be considered a "semi-legal" act, those who have attempted to do this have encountered serious problems. Not only did this 'LHRUnlocker Install.msi' fail to unlock the mining performance of these cards, but it also infected powershell.exe with malware. 


As  Joe's SandBox Cloud shares, these types of programs are known to perform some "suspicious activity" as they try to achieve their goals, bypassing the limitations set by the operating system and drivers. Fabricate. However, it must not "check for available system drives, perform exit loops to interfere with dynamic analysis, use code-jamming techniques, or cause unusually high CPU usage". 


The damage caused by this program may not be severe at first, but it can lead to other attacks of greater magnitude.  Programs like these are intended to counter Nvidia's moves to limit the ETH hash rate to how fast GPUs can handle cryptocurrencies from the RTX 3080, 3070, and 3060 Ti. The decision was also made to help "get more GeForce cards at better prices into the hands of gamers around the world."
