Can i still use the vbios mod of slv7 Inspirion_7720_-_A11_[650m_mod_01_-_970-1400] if i updated my bios to A12 or i have to wait the new slv7 mod? By the way i have the old 3610 processor and i have been using the slv7 mod since the beginning without problem. Does the AES improve performance, Im thinking about trying the russian bios, but i can findout what is the one with the vbios mod... Edit: @elistar: I tested 306.97 and your right, i can make a .bat file and overclock past 1000mhz on core. 314.07 is lock to 970 mhz max. Funny fact is that 314.07 look so more stable. If i compare result with 3dmark 11, i got p2236 with 306.97 at 970 mhz, and p2626 with 314.07 at 970 mhz. Hence your 5-6 % performance increase with the old driver... But i get hitcut, and lag in 3dmark 11 and game since 314.07 doesnt cut at all .... Have you experience this too ??? I was sure boost issue was due to a psu but im not sure anymore ...

I decide to flash my laptop back to the stock a11 bios, since i dont care to have a brick because im under warranty lol. I can confirm you that i had no problem to do it. Everything was find for me. I flash back to the slv7 mod after and it's Still ok. groovelite : i used to have high temp problem with my laptop on the gpu and cpu. Even on stock bios i was close to 90c on both processor. I ask dell to change my heat sink and i saw it was bend and had a crack. And the same time i decide to put artic silver 7 termal past, and my temp when down from 90c to max 74-76c even with the gpu core at 970-1000 mhz ... also make sure to lift the back of the laptop about 2-3 inch.... Making the gpu 970mhz wont make a huge difference in bf3, from the stock 835 mhz, but when the system lock it to 745 mhz.... trust me, You'll easy lost a 10 fps ! Is there some other user with sucessfully story of the mod? In my case, the only concern i have, it's with the mod my system slow down sometime when the cpu and the gpu boost at the same time. If i lower the brightness of the screen and disconnect the wi-fi, the problem is gone. Same if i lower the max stade of the cpu to 99-98% ... Im still thinking of to much power draw from our 130 w ac adaptor. Last test ill do, is testing full boost on the battery only to see .... too slv7: Do you think i can be right, or 130w can supply a i7 and a gt650m overclocked? Will this explain the lock to 745 mhz problem when on stock bios since we know the temp of the gpu was not a issue when under 90c ???

I dont have problem after 1-2 weeks of testing, everything work find. Dont try to use the russian mod, use only slv7 mod. This guy know what he is doing .... trust me ! thanks again for all again slv7

Yep i know. Try also to update your wifi driver or turn it off. I wish i could try a 165-200 watt power supply instead of the 130 watt we have. Im still sure is a problem with not enough power since when we set the cpu to 99% and or disable the turbo boost of the cpu, the problem is gone .... One of the user use throttle stop to reduce the speed of the cpu to, let say 3.0 mhz with a multiplicator factor of 33x instead of 35x... and resolve the problem before we get new vbios mod.... I can beleave dell make a system like that without the ability to make it work like it should be.... By the way did u change the termal past to have a low temperature like that... Max temp for me is 76c with artic silver 5 and a laptop 3 inch lift from the back. Before that i was near 85-90c lol ... imagine ...

I was able to get p2826 at 1050 mhz and 2500 mhz memory :-) but in battlefield 3 on ultra i cannot go more than 1000mhz / 2250 mhz. Even i think im gonna let the memory at 2000 mhz. after a few test, no performance Improuve with memory overclock. Yesterday a downclock occur at the same time that i lost my wifi connection. The wifi card had a bad driver and took to much watt. be sure to have the new driver if it occur for you on intel or dell website. This look like to fix my issue i had yesterday ....

Hummm after 3 hours for bf3 at 1000mhz core and 2200mhz memory, max cpu temp was 80c and 75c for the gpu. No downclock at all with the new driver dell and nvidia release. Even no more hitcut or slowdown... Give it a try ...

Im gonna try the nvidia driver vr. 9.17.13.0707, A03 dell added a few day ago tonight and let you know if it really cure the problem. it's weird since the beta nvidia driver i have is ver 354.11 and the new dell update nvdia ver is 307.07 ... let see ...

Im my case 1000 mhz gpu and 2200 mhz memory is the max and the gpu still downclock when the cpu load to much. 1050 on core make a blue screen after about 10 min of play. Weird that some are able to have 1050-1100 stable. I would like to try a more powerful power supply. As soon as cpu load too much, i get hit cut in game. I dont know if there is a way to lock the cpu to 3000 mhz instead of 3300, to make more power available for the gpu. I really can't beleave dell made a laptop so powerful with not enough power... We should go all talk about that to dell and ask a 200 watt power supply. And by the way thank slv7 to share your knowleige with us ! we all appreciate that . Dell release a new nvidia 650m , vr. 9.17.13.0707, A03 One of the user tryed it and said that this fix the problem. Well let try it to see if it improve something out. At the same time i think this can maybe help slv7 to understand what cause the bug. In my case i think the system have a too small power supply lol. Now i have a new problem, im getting corumpt file on the hhd and each 2 day i have to perform a scandisk to fix them. It's alway the sames files that get the problem. Ex: system.js, Facebook.js etc.... Someone else had this issue ? Sould i call dell to have a new hhd grrrrrr ....

I never downclock after 1 hour of play with this configuration.... all Pstate set at 100%... even on stock a11 bios, someone had test that ?

What doest the Russian mod do more? Im affraid with the user who has transform is laptop into a brick lol. And now realzhigan has to remove the ac and battery to make it work again .... doest this new bios mod increase enough performance to be useful ? Well at this moment im more confident to wait the next vbios mod with a base cock set to 970 mhz and 2200 on memory. I usually have good result with 970 on clock with bf3 and max gpu temperature to 76C after 1 hour play. I only change my termical past for artic silver 5 and had a so great improuvement on cpu and gpu temp. before i was reaching 90c. I sill lost my oc and downclock to 745 sometime randomly. im just tied to restart my computer and have to remove ac and battery to fix it .... Thank for all work on the vbios.... --- I run a couple of time 3d mark with this setting to check stability, clock to 1000 and memory to 2250 mhz and i got p2768 !!! (NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor,Dell Inc. score: P2768 3DMarks) wow. Max temp on cpu and gpu was 71c. i think this could be a nice setting for the next vbios mod. I just recommend really artic silver 5 and have something to lift the back of the laptop about 3 inch. Make a huge difference. I just dont understand why it still remove the overclock after a couple of time in bt3 when my max temp was only 76c on the gpu on 1000 mhz clock.... in other forum is was maybe because of the power draw for a few second due to the gpu and cpu boosting at the same time. If i put in power management, processor min state to 100% and max to 100%, doest this will prevent wattage peak and prevent the boost to lock back to 745 ? ill test that now ... let see ...
