I blind flashed A03 and now all I get is 8 beeps. I have 980 sli and it wont let me switch to discrete graphics. Tried resetting cmos still no go. When I start it up it goes to the disk config page and I can get into the crtl-i menu but not the main setup by pressing f2 what am I doing wrong?

What u need to do is, take out the 980m SLI and boot without them, this works. U have to reconfigure the Bios again, after that put the cards back into the laptop.

Hi Navigator

Which Temperatures u get at Load while gaming? Which PSU u are using? I have an M18x R2 with dual GTX980m SLI, too. Maybe i can help u.

I can easily overclock both GTX980m up to 14xxMHz without a shutdown or any other Problems but i am using Premas Bios, because svl7's Bios causes problems.

Hello,

I have got a M18X R2 with A11 unlocked bios. I seem to be having some issues so I am hoping that by flashing the bios again these will be solved.

Can I use A12 stock bios and then flash the A10 unlocked bios?

I am currently using a GTX 970m single card, would this cause any issue?

Which Issues do u mean?

I have a M18x R2, too. With 2x980M SLI and the A10 Unlocked Bios in UEFI Mode. Maybe I can help u out.

eQualize87

OK, thank you, you did answer my question in the literal sense but what I'm really after here is a link, download, or a procedure. I mean I'm sure it CAN be done, but as yet I've been unable to come up with anything that works. nVidia has disabled overclocking at the vBIOS and/or driver level, and since this thread is about modded vBIOS for the 970m & 980m, I was hoping to inspire a mod for the 960m as well.

I can provide my stock vBIOS if necessary.

Upload ure Bios please, i'll give it a try.

General question about the 980M's vBIOS; is it GOP enabled? (if that's the right term?) As in, can you boot with a 980M as a discrete card on a system that boots via UEFI? I know you couldn't on some older GTX 660M's without updating the vBIOS.

Yes it is enabled. I Use UEFI with 2x980m SLI in my Alienware M18x R2, it works perfectly :-)

I have 880m sli. Would it be worth the money to sell my old cards and buy 2 980ms?

No, it isnt worth the money. The performance boost is too low .

Hey 827270744

There is no way to control the memory voltage. Its not possible to add/unlock an option for that.

HI civlciv388a

may i can help u out. What kind of Notebook do u have? And which GPU / GPUs u have? I had the same problem and solved it, so give me/us more informations.

@svl7

I have a problem with ure vBios for the 980m Clevo cards. I got 2 x 980m and flashed both with ure vBios. The problem i have is, that both Cards never go in 3D Clock Mode, that means on 3D games like AC Unity or FC 4 they do not go in 3D mode. I tested the Prema mod for my cards, no problems! Do u have an idea?

Specs:

M18x R2

CPU: i73940XM

RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengance

HDD: 750GB SSD Raid0

Graphics: 2xGTX980m @ Prema OC mod

PSU: 330 Watt Dell

I have this thermal compound already used very often, I was just not quite sure about the material of the cooler in R2. I will test it once, thank you: D

@Maxxender

I have a question, where did you buy the graphics card?

@svl7

The notebook has now arrived. So far I am very happy with it. The first benchmarks also already ran through. Now I am very curious to see how it runs with the A10 BIOS Unlocked and some overclocking...to the max ^.^

I will report how I get on with it.

The R1 is limited only by the temperatures actually me :/

kind regards

Hi Guys,

i have a question about this thermal grease. Is it possible to use this in conjunction with the cooling solution of the M18x R2? ...keyword aluminium...?!

What do u think about it? Is it possible to use it without any problems?

eQualize87

Can anyone explain exactly what "private plane" actually does?

Hey guys,
