I installed the a10 modded bios with no problems at all. And performance is excellent. Many thanks to svl7.. i think you guys/girls must be doing something wrong. and the reason why it wont overclock as much as some are saying is because the default clock is already 950 instead of the default 750. Hope this clears a few things.. Anyway many thanks and keep up the excellent work

You might want to update your IRST drivers, Dell included the latest option rom in this bios (as mentioned above).

Any chance of modding a10 bios unlocked gpu mod.. pleeeeeeeeaaasseeee

So your situation is not like Ratinox's in that you can't get back to stock firmware now? You sir I have a lot of respect for. For having your system not working now even knowing the risks you have a very positive attitude. There is no way to recover like Ratinox did? Is this from how it was flashed back to A04 vs how Ratinox proceedes?

No I couldn't recover at all. I followed the procedure and tried the recovery method but it seemed to be doing something and was beeping as it was supposed to but after it restarted it continued to beep and then after a second reboot it was completely dead. The bios I used was flashing over a09 with default a03. I was just unlucky but that's life.

correct, svl7 has been very helpful and I took a risk but shit happens and it didn't work :-)

well i had lunch and wasn't hungry and tried the recovery procedure ant it beeped and seemed like it was doing something and then hey hoe my laptop did not power up again .. yipppeeee!!!! lol

so basically I could be stuffed right?

so basically dell are going to be doing this with all there alienware laptops? Surely someone can work this out otherwise no more overclocking alienware laptops right?

if anyone can unlock the vbios on the new dell a09 bios for alienware m14x r2 I will certainly reward with a few beers!!! :-) as im desperate I can downgrade!!!

Dude, I pointed out last week that the A08 firmware won't permit a downgrade to anything earlier including stock A04. You're stuck on stock A09 until someone figures out how to get around the digital signature check. Unlocking the firmware won't make any difference if the EFI refused to accept the installation.

ahh I know you said it I just downloaded from dell website and didn't read your post. Dam it!!! Do you think that it will be able to be modded and the digital signature check bypassed in the future as I lost around 200mhz boost now with the default vbios. Pain in the arse but my fault!!

no changes as far as im concerned only problem is I cant go back to the unlocked v bios a03 anymore, Hopefully s7lv will modify this one too

please modify a09 as I cant downgrade now to the unlock a03 vbios !!! argghh

hi I just updated to a09 but wanted to go back to your a03 modded unlocked vbios but it wont let me install back a03? PLease please try and unlock the a09 bios with same unlocked vbios feature

BIOS A08 popped up on Dells driver site, grab it here: Drivers and Downloads | Dell [united States]

No change log included... damn it, seriously.

Any noticeable changes? Let us know.

If you can't download from Dell, grab the attachement.

Thanks for this. Any chance of modding this for the unlocked vbios as you did for a03 please. Of course when you get the time. Many thanks for your hard work

Please don't ask for ETAs, svl7 is doing it in his free time, so the answer is - when it's ready.

ok I didn't mean anything by it and wasn't aware that it was offensive, sorry

Hmm, weird, let me check again.

yeah its the same overclock as the default a04 bios I have gone back to your unlocked a03 for now and works fine. Keep up the good work

tried your latest alienware r2 a04 unlocked bios but it only lets me overclock +135 not 400 as the a03 unlcoked bios does? this is using msi afterburner?? any help of why would be great. Thanks and keep up the good work

M14x R2 - BIOS A04 'OC edition' added to first post.

A04 comes with a revised VBIOS, might improve the performance of the systems. However, stock clocks are unchanged.

Thanks svl7

Tried your modded bios M14x R2 - BIOS A04 'OC edition' but it doesn't let me overclock anymore that 135 but the previous a03 unlocked bios let me overclock to 400 using msi afterburner. Can you help? Thanks

hello svl7, your work is really appreciated just wondered what the ETA is on the Alenware m14x R2 A04 modded bios is going to be? Many thanks

Hello, This is completely random question i am hoping someone here can help with. I am running windows 8 release preview and my NVidia gt650m seems to work fine. but when I try to run anything directx 11 it says that your card does not support directx 11. I Have tried crisis 2 in directx 11 mode it fails, I have tried La Noire and 3dmark 2011. None work. when I run 3dmark I get an error saying your graphics adapter doesn't support direct x 11? Im using you unlocked bios which is very fast by the way. but any help would be great. Im using geforce 304.79

excellent!!!

download link is not working for your unlocked overclocking limit bios. ps your work is amazing

ok cool the version you gave deadbydawn to test was that the same as the over 2 test bios you uploaded that you recently added?

- - - Updated - - -

sorry that my last comment didn't make sense. is the bios you gave deadbydawn to test the same as the last 2 bios's uploaded for the alienware m14x r2?

could you possibly send me a copy of the bios for testing please. my email is

what bios did you get to do this? my msi afterburner software only lets me overclock 135mhz core? im using the 100mhz boost vbios, the first one
