hey Mihai can you provide some tests in 3Dmark / 3DMark 11 / Vantage - if you have done them already with your new "overclocked" board - I am curious if the extra boos @ gpu / and RAM makes any real difference.

[tested & working] M17x R3 *unlocked* BIOS A10
rodarkone replied to svl7's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
Thanks for the kind words. Ok - so I found the issue - the problem was system was crashing after windows booted (just freeze nothing else) - the quick fix was (of course) reinstalling the OS - actualy A10 back ((of course I sweated a bit until I flashed back the A10 bios)- AHCI in bios - reinstall the OS - now everything seems to work perfectly. I flashed back the A10 modded bios - seems that ATA6 works ok with my M4 no issues so far, also disabled the IGP in order to benefit of the latest Radeon official drivers. I don't really care about overclocking the rig - it's a 2670QM so it's pointless - I expect the AC Mx-4 - in order to repaste the CPU / GPU hopefully it will go down (it's extremly hot mine - the GPU is 94+ in Furmark - but doesn't go over 84-85 in games. (I play mostly D3 when I have a spare moment) Anyway - thanks to the modder -> svl7 <- kudos to you sir- 46 replies

[tested & working] M17x R3 *unlocked* BIOS A10
rodarkone replied to svl7's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
Guys I have a little problem - It seems that after I flashed my M17x R3 with this bios (initialy was the unlocked one) - my laptop just freezes in Windows 7 U I mean I just open the SO and them it just freezes - My config: 2670QM (not overclocked) Radeon 6990 M (not overclocked) 32 GB Corsair Vengence - 4x8 GB 1600 MHz modules 1 SSD Crucial M4 128 GB 1 SSH Seagate 500 GB In bios hdd's where put as RAID (not AHCI). After flashing the new bios / all settings resseted to default - no tweaks used I am trying to fix the following issues: 1. the problem with the SATA 3 - (I think I have to move the setting in bios to AHCI) probably this will make me loose all the settings 2. the problems with USB 3.0 - is not working on my config - no matter what USB port I use my WD passport USB 3.0 1 TB external is showing the message that it can perform faster and the transfer speeds are ~ 30 MB/s 3. the issue with installing Radeon latest drivers - it cannot be installed on a machine with intel graphics enabled so I want to disable it from BIOS (most of the times I don't use it so I don't actually need a low power graphics card) Let me know if you need any more information about my config (software or hardware)- 46 replies
