Gin Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hello,I flashed this vbios and I'm impressed at the gains I'm getting so far. (+380/+400 with a +187.5 mV stable)Though, I have a question. I'd like to force the P5 state and overvolt from there but forcing the P5 state with Nvidia inspector doesn't do anything and the voltage slider is greyed out in every state except for the P0 state. Is it supposed to behave this way?I have a14 BIOS, can i flash a13 unlocked without problems?I was on the A14 bios on Windows 10 and what I did was flash the A13 bios from Dell's website, then I flashed this vbios.

sevghesh Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 thank you very much for this. much appreciated. if it doesn't fix the throttling issue, is the only way to apply new thermal paste? or can the throttling be turned off? is that advisable. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunteraz Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 thank you very much for this. much appreciated. if it doesn't fix the throttling issue, is the only way to apply new thermal paste? or can the throttling be turned off? is that advisable. thanksWell, new thermal paste is always a good idea, especially for this particular computer which seems to suffer from temperature problems and has a very cheap and low quality thermal paste from factory.

If so can you like me to the forum I tried looking myself but I felt like I was drowning in the posts searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newuser Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Guys I'd like to know if the links for the A13 modded bios are working OK. Im trying to download them from the first page in this thread and its telling me: "The page you are trying to access is not available for your account. Error code: 2C171/1" does this mean the file is restricted to higher level users of Tech Inferno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newuser Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Ok I would like to point out that the files listed in the first page (the DOS version of fpt and the 'prr tool') seems to be broken. After downloading they are corrupt and cannot be extracted. Does anyone have an alternate link to download from for these two items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted January 22, 2016 Founder Share Posted January 22, 2016 @newusertry grabbing them from here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newuser Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I've downloaded both files from the link you've provided but when extracting with both Winrar or 7zip I'm getting errors. "format unknown or damaged" On a side note I was able to download the [FPT]-[M14R2]-A13UnBiosUnVbios file without any issues. I wonder if its related to the files themselves or my PC. Thanks for the speedy assistance Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not be possible without them, so show your thanks! [FPT]-[M14R2]-A13UnBiosUnVbios.zip Hi guys. I'm lucky/unlucky owner of M14Rx2 witch 650m and throttling is terrible. 67C and it cut's off clock a lot I upgraded to i7-3720QM, 16GB RAM of HyperX overclocked to 2000MHz and now I have 4K external monitor and experience while playing anything is so freaking terrible ;( Untill GPU is working between 780-900Mhz it's OK but when it reaches 70C its about 400Mhz so things are unpleable. I changed thermal paste few months ago and it was keeping good clocks but how often is it needed... every weekend or so? Can anyone re-upload this bios to unlock capability of changing throttle point? Thank You And best regards from Poland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipy Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Gonna try this when I'm able to download the prr and fpt files, fingers crossed I don't mess up the flash. On another note my laptop throttles at 70 degrees, and playing overwatch right now it's hovering at 67-69 Edited January 6, 2017 by Snipy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
