@mw86 - Yeah, I'm not too worried about the unlocked system BIOS ATM. A08 seems to be working fine, and I've been able to get a good 4.2 OC that's 24/7 stable. I'm not looking to break records, just a fast rig that can handle things like F@H SMP.

@Keith1341 - I'd like to take that one for a test drive, but I'm still below the 5 post limit :-( 850 seems very doable on core, but the fastest I've been able to get memory has been 1200 - anything higher and I start getting artifacts in 3DMark11.

@svl7 - Thanks! Would definitely be happy to look at a newer vBIOS. I've yet to see my GPU throttle at 819 or at it's stock speed. Does the OC vBIOS unlock the core for use with afterburner or have you set it to a fixed speed?

I've also noticed issues with the sound hardware dropping out whenever I switch between Intel/nVidia GPU. From what I can tell it's a power problem shutting the card down during reboot/hibernate but not powering it back up on restart. The only way I've been able to power the sound hardware back up is by doing a sleep/wake-up cycle. Wondering if any M18xR2 guys out there have this same thing happening?

Hi Luscious, are you using the 3940xm cpu?

but how could they possibly dare to lock out overclocking feature on xm chip? xm is meant for overclocking right?

Is that Oced stable for gaming?

I think 680M is a little faster than 7970m but it's double price. So the 7970m is the best choice.

well, both green and red are doing great this time, as for performance/price Amd sure is the best but for enthusiasts user who want more power the 680m will be the best choice available now.

well, for new member you will need to post minimum of 5 comment before you can PM other member, dl attachment and etc.

so it is possible to overvolt dell 680m?cause now i'm having hard time in deciding whether to go with AW or Clevo.

svl7, does the dell 680m +100mhz edition comes with modified voltage?
