Ive overclocked my alienware m11x R3 a little bit, I also want the unlocked A05 BIOS! Throttlestop with the locked BIOS is very limited I bet the unlocked bios is more limited than people think

If anyone is willing to take huge risks.. such as desoldering the cpu.. the 2617m processor uses the BGA 1023 socket. The highest performance i7 that is compatible with this socket is a quad core-8 thread, and here is a comparison between it (3615QE) and the 2617m Intel Core i7-2617M vs i7-3615QE The largest concerns I would have while attempting such a crazy project is The jump in power from 17W to 45W An incompatibility with the motherboard, or destruction of the motherboard Battery life going out the window from massive loss Bios issues That said, it would be an insanely awesome project if it works! No1 has tried it, Im offering this idea out there for someone who hopefully would be crazy enough to try it! If you found a way to declock the processor, that could help? I wish my m11x R3 was a quad core 8 threaded mighty little machine -M11x R3 Nebula Red, Macbook Pro 2010 core2duo

This is very cool! I might want to do this with my m11x R3, the stock screen is very much not spectacular >< . Thanks for the info! Too bad you can't put in a 120 hz screen and use the 3D vision feature -m11x R3 i7 Nebula Red, 2010 Macbook Pro Core2duo, samsung Galaxy S4
