I have two 8970m that need to be flashed on a laptop that has pcie 3.0 I've been unable to flash back to the OE vbios that were on the cards and I believe it's due to how old the m17x r2 is and how new the gpu is. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. This is obviously not a request most local places could handle and I don't have access to a newer gaming laptop.

M17x r2 w/ 8970m (Crossfire/Vbios Tweaking)
CountPrinky replied to CountPrinky's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
got a blank screen but it did seem like it was trying to work C:\atiflash.exe -p 0 -fs -fp -reboot Clevo.rom C:\atiflash.exe -p 1 -fs -fp -reboot Clevo.rom look right for the blind flash? thanks for the help. ill try any that might work, its hard to have two cards and two ports and not have it work. afx has been acting up on boot but a simple edit might change that. thanks again! -

I've been playing around with the 8970m for a while now and its a fantastic upgrade for the R2. The Clevo vBios seems to work and in a single card setup is pretty much flawless and never really even gets warm. Running two in crossfire the computer would run it about 20% of the time and crash or lock up. Had trouble turning it on a few times, would get the flashing lights as if no video card was detected, but then if i took out the battery, unplugged it and then tried to start it on just the battery and then putting the cord in while it was turning on it would post correctly but then freeze at all different points during the post. I was able to run fallout 4 windowed for a while before freezing after quitting the game. With how the computer behaved with the two cards in crossfire I'm thinking that some tweaking could get this to work but I believe is just out of my skill level now. I'm only using the OEM 240w PSU (from all the reading I've done it didn't seem like modding the PSU did anything , could be wrong tho.) I'm getting a "UEFI will be disabled" when i go to open the bios to mod and this is where I'm over my head. Clevo8970m.zip VBE7.0.07b.zip

BIOS / VBIOS modification request thread (svl7)
CountPrinky replied to svl7's topic in General Notebook Discussions
bump even advice would help, tools other than VBE7? I'll take anything for tools that will let me mod the bios. Should I be worried about the 4gb since its a tool designed for a 2gb card? If I just open the vbios with the VBE7 and save the disabled UEFI bios would that be all I need to do? or would I really need to get into the voltages and clock speeds? I have my blind flash usb on standby so if I could just know what to look out for and what are the chances of permanently bricking?- 477 replies

Is there any chance you could mod the Clevo 8970m bios for my m17x r2? i would like to run a crossfire setup and preferably under clocked and under volted for stability. the cards currently work about 20% of the time in crossfire, but also have trouble booting some times, or are just not detected.

been rebuilding an r2 i got for a good deal. got a new motherboard from china that died a week after the return policy was up. was wondering if anyone had experience with reworking one of these boards? they "say" there are services but so far no one replies or basically says "sorry we don't do that" they prefer to just do DC jack fixes etc. any help is greatly appreciated!
