I think about Nibitor, or some kind of Voltage regulation Software like the Afterburner... Have the M14X a Voltage regulator that can be Software controlled or is a BIOS Mod needed ??Hopefully someone know... i search for days on the www and found nothing...greetz and thanks Edited August 17, 2011 by svl7 Added link to modified BIOS, adjusted thread title 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted May 19, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 19, 2011 So far the recent nVidia and ATi GPUs do not have voltage control built in. If it's not there, no software control will function since it's hardwired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 @Neo - Thanks for posting! I have already chatted with DavyGT and others and so far their is not a way written into the NV bios to allow voltage modification. Any change will most likely have to be on hardware. With overclocks at over 30 percent I doubt you will be able to push much more but If I feel confident of the hardware and we get schematics I might try... might..

If it's not there, no software control will function since it's hardwired.The VBIOS usually provides some limited form of voltage control. The GT540M supports over and undervolting from .98v to 1v and .93v, respectively, for example. @Neo - Thanks for posting!

We will never know until we try. We don't need the schematics, only a keen eye on the motherbboard to vmod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n3ocort3x Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hy Guys... ok it seems i have to disassemble the whole notebook... maybe there is a way to solder some fixed value resistor to increase the voltage a little bit or something... As I understand.... there is NO WAY to increase the Voltage in BIOS... How do you extract it ??? GPU-Z doesent work....The GPU is not on its limit... 30 % increasement is a good value... This GPU has a great potential and its not used... thats a shame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 @Neo - DavyGT is probably the best at determining what would need to be soldered to what. I took some pics when I reapplied new paste last weekend but I wont have time to tear it down again this weekend. Too many stresses around the house... sorry.

n3ocort3x Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) would be great if you can post the pics... determine should be no problem... modded a lot of Mainboards and GPUs in the past... maybe DavyGT and I are able to find a solution... but we need the pics... would be great if you can post them... btw: I will replace the cooling paste next week... xD so if you have no time to post the pics... no worry.... xD Edited May 20, 2011 by n3ocort3x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n3ocort3x Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 ok, i will dissasemle the notebook after the weekend and have a look at it... No VR ??? that seems strange to me... I also want to have a look at the BIOS.... is there a way to extract it ?? can somebody explain me how to do that... ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The system bios can be downloaded from Dell. You can create an install disc from ISO and should be able to get a good luck at the bios from there.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3ocort3x Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 yeah but the question is: Is the BIOS of the GPU integrated in the System BIOS ?? I don´t think so... normally the GPU has it´s own bios and you can simple download it in GPU-Z... but GPU-Z only shows a BIOS for the INTEL GPU... and this one is locked so you can´t extract it from the CHIP...

ragingazn628 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Man imagine what we can do with this already awesome GPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 In the case of optimus I dont have much experience.. my m15 was ati and my m11x was the hybrid setup (not optimus). I need to do more research before I can comment on the video bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The GPU is integrated on the mobo, chances are that the vbios is part of the system bios. That's easier to implement for the manufacturer. They don't need a way to the load the vbios at startup and they don't need to use a separate ROM chip for the vbios.If this is the case changing anything at the vbios would need quite some bios disassembling skills. (And some balls to test it after modding...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanGod Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) If it is indeed the vbios is part of the system bios, we can probably have some luck over at the bios-mods.com forums...Look what they were able to do for the folks who had the M17x R2Alienware M17x-R2 A10 BIOS Unlocked OC Options@svl7 I see you've been there already lol Edited May 24, 2011 by TitanGod 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 The Wiz's mod was nice... but it takes a lot to develop a modified bios from a locked one and there hasn't even been word of a second revision.. so it may be awhile before you see anything at all if there even will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well if you make some rucus over there and there's enough of you it's more likely to manifest itself. It's not to say there won't be more work on these soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
