landsome Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well, you've given me some hope at least. As soon as I have some spare time I will try the procedure.One final question - I am not completely sure, but probably I will not be able to short the pins with the HS on the card and then remove the wire with the heatsink still on. Did you do it with the card without a HS on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do it with the card without a HS on? I have a heatsink on just left enough slack to be able to pull the wire off though the corner where the chip is located is not blockededit : if the pictures on the web are correct your card is underneath the keyboard right next to the memory slots and if your using a dell 7970 card the bios chip would be right next to the memory slots thus exposed when the keyboard is removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landsome Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The bios of the old card (I had a 017 before the 022) was right near the margin of the card, probably accessible without removing the HS; assuming the 022 has the exact same layout, you might be right and the procedure might be simpler than envisaged - in which case I will probably attempt it even sooner. I just hope I will not ruin the mobo as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landsome Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 spent half a day dismantling and reassembling the M6600 - sorry to report it did not work on the dell. but there might be other reasons at play, though I am now too tired to go through the entire procedure again. the dell bios acts up when you change memory (asks you to press F1 before booting, I think), and I was uninspired enough to try to boot with the "internal" memory only, leaving the one on the back out. I also have a password on the drive, and I had to enter that as well. I did all these steps blindly - not knowing if I was asked for F1, for instance - and I repeated them a few times in different orders, just to be sure. however, to no avail. I'll try on the MSI as well one of these days - but I doubt it will work on a GT663R, since there is no on-die GPU, so probably the notebook will not boot at all...

landsome Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yes, the Dell can do it and I am now sorry I did not do that - to remove all Dell warnings and passwords - before I dis- and re-assembled the M6600. About the MSI I am not sure, because I do not have a CPU with on-die video.Does the GT683 boot without a dedicated videocard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexaae Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Need help! Bricked my Dell 7970m (stalled black screen boot won't progress through BIOS) because of the f****g stupid ATIWinFlash tool where I accidentally tapped with the other hand on the mouse-pad and the program suddenly (!) started flashing the loaded (I was just curious to see voltages etc.) VBIOS without a damn warning/confirm request!! When the nightmare comes true... So, now... who can help me to blind re-flash the card (I have the vbios backup)? I'll pay of course for disturb... Plase, PM me, it's a pain to go back to 5870m! FIXED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arestavo Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 This is great, I've got my Xfire 7970m's running rock solid at 900 MHz, whereas overclocking via MSI Afterburner always causes black screen issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaniel Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi svl7,can you please upload the 7970m vbios with enduro off that works with the version 1.1 card in an clevo p150hm/p170hm. The default clevo enduro off bios dont work with the dirvers. I have a picture but if i install a driver i`m getting a bluescreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sector-z Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It's not possible, but you should be able to increase the memory voltage with a small pencil mod.Can you post a picture where we ned to apply the pencil mod for the memory ? does this work on 8970M too ? Because I cannot overclock more then 10MHz on the memory of my girl friend ... Thx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slovedon Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Because I cannot overclock more then 10MHz on the memory of my girl friend I tried overclocking my girlfriend, but her brain's firmware is locked But really, as far as I know, there hasn't been much luck at all with overclocking the memory clocks on the 8970M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabidbobol Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 hi ( sorry for my language i am french ) i have a DELL 7970m on msi 16f2 with the 7970m mod. it's ok with this @ stock volt and 1.075v but i have a problem: when i try the 1.1v i have a shutdown and reboot, i suppose 2 ways: => cause is the temperature ( shutdown @ 79° ) => cause is the mobo or power ( i have a 240w PSU... ) how bypass this problem and is possible?????

Strange, your temps and power are great. I have a 16f1 w/ 7970m and an overclocked 920xm and the 7970m works well at stock, with higher temps (90+*C max) and the original 150w power brick. Maybe the explanation is simpler: the card just cannot take the 1.1v. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
