kaldon Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I've been following this awesome BIOS work, I can't wait to give it a try. I received my M14x R2 on Tuesday and I have some Thermal compound and some Fujipoly thermal pad on order to repaste and replace the thermal pads on the memory with some high quality ones. I am curious if it is possible for the mod to prevent undervolting at 65C? currently at 105/200 OC i am topping out at about 67-68C and dropping volts/speed. I'm hoping this wont be as much of an issue with the repaste/repad but if theres a way around it flat out that would be incredible. Thanks and keep up the amazing work!Kaldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehtaparth94 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 got this Problem here ..See this Picture..The BIOS says INVALID any problem??http://img.techpowerup.org/120803/nvidia_20120804_081127.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 I OC'd To +330 and +940It is almost Stable.. But the Probem is that the Core Speed Fluctuates @540 And then Top But Mostly Stays @540The BIOS says INVALID any problem??http://img.techpowerup.org/120803/nvidia_20120804_081127.pngAlmost stable isn't stable. Lower your clocks.The vbios is digitally signed, my mod messes up the certificate so it's invalid. So far it doesn't matter since Nvidia hasn't activated vbios checks in the driver... yet.I am curious if it is possible for the mod to prevent undervolting at 65C? currently at 105/200 OC i am topping out at about 67-68C and dropping volts/speed.

Well, I can try to force it to a higher level... tell me the reported voltage values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can try to force it to a higher level... tell me the reported voltage values.I had to overclock to get the unit hot enough to hit 65C, its fairly cold in my house right now. but you can see at 2012-08-04 17:26:43 in the attached gpu-z file that the clocks begin to drop there and go waay down as well as the voltage fluctuations when it occurs. If you need anything else let me know.Furmark.txtThanks in advance,Kaldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes The Voltage Drops Around 65C and i am now using PState 5 Which Makes the Core and Mem run at Maxx Clocks..Also this is My Clock Right Now!!http://img.techpowerup.org/120804/nvidia_20120805_090905.pngI attached my Pc to my Bravia 32" 1080p ..With ultra Settings I Got 30FPS in BF3!! I was Shocked.. is this Correct ??My Memory Clock Doesnt Go to +1000! It just crashes is it normal??And can we unlock shaderclock as we had in Gt555m??And Also Are you working on Some Ways to get Higher clocks..

svl7 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yes, no problem. Another new AW BIOS and once more no change log... really a bad habit that Dell started... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim10 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi ! svl7, I have a question for you ! I saw you modified many bios for AW laptops, and I own an Inspiron 7720 (650m 2Go DDR5). I was wondering if you looked into that and if you were planning on tweaking that bios as well. For the time being, the core can't take more than 1030 stable because it runs at 1.012 V. I have the feeling other laptops run at 1.10V, and that's why then can achieve 1150-1200 Mhz. Thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Might be possible, but adjusting the voltage doesn't seem to work on all boards, so I can't tell for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can try to force it to a higher level... tell me the reported voltage values.Thanks for your hard work.It's at 65 degrees C that the voltage or the GPU clocks get throttled down, which is strange, as the older GTX 460Ms can take 85 degrees C usages and run with no issues.Looking forward to your Vbios!

Mehtaparth94 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 @svl7 .. I am Trying to Learn how to edit Vbios and All.. i m a Newbie..

Eats7 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Quick question @svl7 , is it possible for any way to raise the throttle from 65 degrees on the 650m? possibly to 80 - 90? It's a real bitch this throttling lol. edit: oops! looks like someone just asked this! Oh well, looks like i'm not the only one that wishes for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratefly Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hey guys,My m14xR2 is currently running w/ Bios A04. Can I try the modded A03 Bios then revert to original A04?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehtaparth94 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yes.Surely you can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arns Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I wonder if they can actually refuse to repair your alienware if you flash a modded bios? Is there any legal implication? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oh, I don't know... never completely read through the warranty agreement, but I guess they somehow exclude systems with modified BIOS files from the warranty. However, it can't be found out easily, and in this case the mod is really not that severe... I simply changed the setting back to the one A05 and earlier BIOS revisions had... so technically it's no code in there which hasn't already been found in the official Dell BIOS releases As I said before, Dell probably didn't deactivate SATA III for no reason, however, they can't void the warranty of A05 users either.... Anyway, to make it simple - don't worry, just go ahead and flash, you'll be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
