Hi, any chance I can get the custom bios as well? I've got the exact same system as the original poster Gameus.

Hi!

You can post here or send me your original stock vbios from your card, I'll take a look.

Hello,

 

If someone could send me a modded bios that would let me access more overclocking settings that would be great.

For some reason I couldent attach images to this message so I will include a link to a google photos album with my gpu and cpu info.

(if you could give me a couple instructions on how to flash the bios that would be much appreciated)

If you have any more questions let me know.

 

Thanks

Alaska G.

Thanks so much Klem, guy is really good with his work.  just got more FPS from an old laptop which throws me over from barely playable to playable.

Hi Klem,

 

I have given my AW r3 17 with gtx970m to my son, got another deal on a aw r3 17 with GTX 980m do you flash bios on that gpu as well? please let me know thank you. you're a life saver with hardware factory limits.

I am quite embarrassed to open this topic but because I am willing to hold on to my old laptop but I couldn't access and tweak the voltage to my liking - causing it to always thermal throttle all the time. Got suggested by a lot of people to try this out. All options seemed to be locked on both GPU and CPU on Throttlestop and MSI Afterburner.

I'm running Alienware 17 R3 (2015) so exactly the same as the poster's machine

Hello there, i want a custom updated BIOS for my Alienware 17 r3.

 

lately it has been acting weird. when I play, it shut downs. I read something about "downgrading" the bios.

i tried that, it got less frequent but it still happens. So I wanted to try with a modded bios and see what happens.

 

It's a 6700hq CPU

Also, I've never updated the vBios (for graphic card) -> what's the benefit for that?

somewhere else I read it's a thermal paste thing which I did the job.

I removed the last sticky ugly paste, and added a new one (top notch brand)

 

so it's not that. i changed the battery which had problems staying charged. 

now it may be the charger itself... but don't know. gotta test with bios first and see if it fixes.

 

@Klem I've seen in this post you are the man for this :)
