This card is a beast! Most games are holding down 60fps. Just would like to bypass Dells bs 87c shutdown or figure out how to get the temps down faster. Runnin the fans full speed helps, but not always. And hate dropping the screen res to fix.

@svl7, I was sent here to talk to you about modding a dell brand 8970m that's currently running in my M17x R2 with an M18x 100w heat sink modified to fit in the M17x. The card works great other than a system shutdown if temps reach above 87c under heavy gaming. The fan controls do work even tho it's always Ben known that dell brand 7970/8970 fan controls didn't work right in alienwares, but it just doesn't seem like it works right while gaming and it's locked out via trixx or vbe7 and also voltage is locked out via afterburner. My question is, can the fan controls be edited by you to be unlocked as well as voltage controls? My cards stocks are 1.075v at 950/1250. I've tried searching for another vbios but nothing on the techpowerup vbios collection matches the v/clocks for this card in the dell section. Hopefully you can help me out.
