kindred3 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Im new to the 18 series, picked up an R1 for $100. Upgrading cpu to a 2920 xm , and video to 780m, will have 2 soon so need to build that double brick. Anyhow, I was wondering which unlocked bios is the best for me, and what utility is best to use. I did all this ages ago on a 17 series, but wow im gettin old and forget lol, thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWessi Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 As I know the A05 unlocked bios is the best. But it's not possible to download as a beginner here. I have the same problem. So if anyone can send me a link for download via PM I appreciate. By the way: $100 for a M18X R1 is really a good price. I paid 225 € - previous it was 300 € but the AW has a defect and doesn't recognize the two 6990M. I already tested one of the 6990 in a M17X R2 and it works. So I want now test some nvidia 6xx and 9xx in the M18X R1. But for this I need the unlocked bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kindred3 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) I just installed a 780m and a 2920 XM and wow I'm impressed. Bad news is, I got the 8 beeps and believe my LCD edid went. Ordered a new screen, so I can flash edid in old one and have a backup. The bios you want is here. Just donate. It's well worth it. I did it last week. The advice here is great and people are more than helpful. Edited November 10, 2018 by kindred3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
