svl7 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yes, it works. Is there any specific reason why you want to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormycham Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Yes , i have a m17x-r2 , upgraded from Xfire 5870M to one 7970M My 7970M comes from DELL and i receved it with DELL official X-plate. I have no need of HDMI support and would prefer native fan control instead of lauching HWINFO64... I have also planned to undervolt the card , i'm reaching 83°C while playing Crysis 2 ^^ The X-bracket have been modified , i've cutted the "branches" by 1millimeter in order to do a retention Mod , before this mod i was reaching +87°c quickly and the laptop was cutting power due to overheating from the card....

Founder Brian Posted October 2, 2012 Founder Share Posted October 2, 2012 I don't think the vbios will fix the fan problem. Sent from my GT-N7000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormycham Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Well , if anyone have tried to flash DELL to a CLEVO 7970M , it would be great to know the result concerning the fan becomming native or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahnsinn Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 hm, I got the dell vbios shipped with the card and the fan control was working. I thought it's the other way round, the clevo doesn't support the fan control???bit confused ?( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Not sure if its per system but I have Dell 7970m in M18xR1 and it works with native fan control. I hope you get it working.

batfuse Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 To my knowledge, native fan control is card specific. Clevo version has fan control, but no HDMI. Dell version has no fan control, but HDMI. Other members in NBR have tried flashing for HDMI function with no avail, so the opposite probably wont work either.As for your temps, did you get your card from upgradeyourlaptop (eurocom)? Was it a kit? Temps for crysis 2 have <82C on my R2. How is your paste job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 @StamatisX does your R2 with 7970m crossfire have native fan control and what brand did you buy? My 7970m directly from Dell ramps fans as normal in M18xR1.

Stormycham Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 As for your temps, did you get your card from upgradeyourlaptop (eurocom)? Was it a kit? Temps for crysis 2 have <82C on my R2. How is your paste job? After cutting the x-bracket a little my temps drop by +7°c .... I bought my card directly from DELL , the x-bracket is an offical 7970M DELL to. The upgradeyourlaptop kit uses a 6970M/6990M X-bracket. I use IC diamond7 for the GPU and 0.5 mm pads (7W) from Phobia on memory chips and VRMs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
