BIOS / VBIOS modification request thread (svl7)
Stacey2911 replied to svl7's topic in General Notebook Discussions
Can you please mod the latest bios for my Alienware 17? I haven't been able to find anything on here that works, as I did not realise Alienware 17 was a specific model. I thought I had an m17x R4, but apparently it is an Alienware 17. I am not aware of the difference, but none of the bios mods for M17x R4 work. As per instructions, here's a link to the bios I need modded. Driver Details | Dell Australia The .bin dump from flashChk is attached as a zip also. I apologise if this has already been done, I couldn't find much info regarding the Alienware 17 and bios modding, and whether there is a difference between this and the Alienware M17x R* range.

AW17 / AW18 Memory overclock bios/XTU
Stacey2911 replied to 6zumlachen's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
I have the m17x R4, i7 4900MQ, GTX 780m and 32GB of 1600Mhz Ram, reporting 1333 Mhz in XTU as well. I know it's running at 1600, cpu-z reports it as that, so do various other programs. -
Clevo gtx780m or 880m in alienware m17xr4
Stacey2911 replied to trigger25sg's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
I would say stick with the 780m, you won't need 8GB of VRAM, not at 1080p. I have the 780m in my R4, I haven't even hit 3GB of usage in even the most demanding titles, and I downsample everything from 1620P. -
I couldn't see there being any problem running 16GB, i think the limitations would be more physical then anything, if any.
