ADMIN EDIT 12/15/15: The original referenced zip pack is now restored. Did some tests with the VBIOS of the AMD 7970m, here's what I've got so far: - Overvolting: So far no success, when I increase the 3d voltage the card simply stays at the 2d profile. Fixed that Be aware that overvolting should only be done by experienced users and can seriously harm your GPU, shorten the life of its components and lead to unsuspected effects and / or system instability. I take no responsibility for any possible damages. Overvolting has been tested by me and @widezu69 (thanks!). It works, but can lead to instability, you need to find your limit. The M15x doesn't handle it well. I noticed similar behaviour as with my overvolted 6970m, drops in clocks, instability etc. At 1.15V even immediate crash at GPU load. The M17x R3 seems to handle it a bit better, there's probably more headroom in the voltage supply circuits which are providing the voltage for the GPU. I was able to run some vantage tests at 1Ghz with a 0.05V overvolt, my previous core clock limit was at about 950Mhz... so it definitely works. Different systems will behave in different ways, only way to find it out is to test it. Don't do it if you lack overclock experience. - Undervolting: Only did some quick tests, but it seems to work. The driver crashed all the time at clocks which normally worked fine. And at more sane clocks the card worked as expected. - Update: Yes, works very well - Core / memory clocks: Works fine so far, I only tested the 3d settings, but I assume it also works for the other clock profiles. In the GPU-Z screenshot you can see the changed clocks: A package with a selection of modified VBIOS files can be found here: AMD 7970M vbios pack There's quite a bit of work behind this, so just in case you want to buy me a beer... Here's a list of what the package contains. The names are pretty self-explanatory. "uv" for undervolt, "ov" for overvolt, clocks are "core-memory" Keep in mind that you need to rename the files before flashing due to the 8 character file name limit in DOS. Modified clocks: Dell7970m-900-1250.ROM Dell7970m-925-1300.ROM Dell7970m-940-1350.ROM Dell7970m-940-1400.ROM Dell7970m-950-1350.ROM Dell7970m-950-1400.ROM Undervolted: Dell7970m-uv-0950v.ROM Dell7970m-uv-0975v.ROM Dell7970m-uv-1000v.ROM Overvolted: Dell7970m-ov-1125v.ROM Dell7970m-ov-1150v.ROM Overvolted & modified clocks: Dell7970m-900-1300-ov1075v.ROM Dell7970m-900-1300-ov1100v.ROM Dell7970m-950-1400-ov1100v.ROM All files are based on the OEM Dell 7970m VBIOS. Instructions: For flashing refer to this guide: There's a list with the checksums of all files included in the VBIOS package, I highly recommend to check the integrity of the file before flashing it. This can easily be done with ATIflash, if you don't know how please check the guide linked above. And as always, flash on your own risk, you are responsible for your system and the changes you make on it. Feel free to ask questions, feedback is welcome as well!

Elpamsoft.com Home of the SSD Tweaker for Windows hey guys this software has a free version and helps you do most of the SSD tweaks with a quick touch of a button and a restart! its called SSD Tweak if using the software and get the following please do the following: When I Run the SSD Tweaker it gives me an Error something like "0x0000135" This just means that you dont have the .Net Framework installed. You can download it from here for 32 bit<!-- or here for 64 bit (most likely)-->. some more GENERAL system necessities here: http://forum.techinferno.com/pc-gaming/323-you-need-these-trouble-free-gaming.html

Call of Duty Black Ops is back. Out 11.13.12

Revodrives don't work in SR-2s, it's a known issue.

lol thats real cheap... I spend that in a day no really though for real there are models that are just a bit above the SSDs you were looking at.... Amazon.com: OCZ Technology Revo Drive 3 X2 Series 480 GB PCI Express 8 GB-s Slim - RVD3X2-FHPX4-480G: Electronics Amazon.com: OCZ Technology 240 GB RevoDrive X2 Series PCI-Express x4 Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSDPX-1RVDX0240: Electronics Amazon.com: OCZ RevoDrive 3 X 2 240 GB PCI Express 4 GB-s Slim Solid State Drive - RVD3X2-FHPX4-240G: Computers & Accessories you probably thought I meant those literally. Lol maybe you'll like these better... they have cheaper lower capacity drives than this but I can guarantee currently a PCI-E based SSD will outperform the top Sata drives that I have seen.

First post a little bit updated, sound per DP / HDMI works.

Hey svl7, if you have the time, could you have a look at this vbios: The version number is slightly different and I have found it to be more stable I dunno why. Have you tried every entry in the voltage tables? I'm hoping that it will allow just one of them. I seem to recall that it goes somewhere up to 1.225v? Would be amazing to have some sort of overvolt! 7970M.zip

VICE's Ryan Duffy went to Colombia to check out a strange and powerful drug called Scopolamine, also known as "The Devil's Breath." It's a substance so intense that it renders a person incapable of exercising free will. The first few days in the country were a harrowing montage of freaked-out dealers and unimaginable horror stories about Scopolamine. After meeting only a few people with firsthand experience, the story took a far darker turn than we ever could have imagined.

I have a pretty good idea. It has few GB of fast NAND memory (500GB Seagate Momentus XT has 4GB NAND memory). It's the same idea of how any kind of cache memory on your computer works. Except that in this case it is quite a big cache memory. It has a I believe it's own controller that is supposed to figure out what data is being used more often and cache it in NAND. In other words, based on your usage it will attempt to predict what data from your hard drive will be accessed and have that stuff there for faster access. I am guessing a part of your Windows / Program Files folder will eventually end up there as a result. I am not aware of a possibility to use the NAND memory and the rest of the disk storage space separately as two separate drives (so I think it is not possible).

The stock fan in your laptop is most likely a Delta KDB05105HB “7F36”fan. You can replace it with a more powerful fan, which came by default on the Asus G51j and vx laptops. This is the model number of the upgraded fan; Forcecon DFS541305MH0T “F8U5". Google that and you can find it for cheap. The Delta is a 13 fin fan, the Forcecon is a 17 fin fan. Moves more air but fits right into your existing heatsink and plugs into the motherboard for power.

Alright, I'll see what I can do, I'm gonna upload a package as soon as possible. Here's the vbios with the requested clocks: Dell7970mES_900_1250.zip

Yeah if you could that would be awesome. I would love for you to mod that vbios I posted into: 900/1250 + stock volts (that should work like normal I assume which is what I will be using normally) 900/1250 + with all overvolts for testing. Thanks man!
