My second vbios mod was on a Radeon 7970M GPU on a Clevo p170hm. The 6990M on it died a horrible death like everyone elses' (I never did get to try the oven bake solder reflow trick). Got a 7970M but the heatsink wouldn't fit in a P170HM, so I ended up using the existing heatsink for the 6990M. But I was worried that the 6990M heatsink wasn't designed to take the extra TDP heat from the 7970m so I modded the 7970 vbios and underclocked/undervolted the max profile so that its max profile clocks/volts would be the same of the 6990M. The 7970M served me well lasted though all the games I put it through until I sold the laptop. -

Hey dudes... I am an old man but new here. My first vbios mod was on a Nvidia 7900GS years ago. It died and left screen artefacts on a Toshiba P100 laptop. No amount of repasting would help. So I modded the vbios to lower the clock speeds for boot, std and full power profiles to powersaving minimum clocks and volts to get the laptop to run with standard VGA driver without showing the artefacts. Ended up selling the laptop to a Linux user who was didn't plan on loading the nvidia driver.
