hans123 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 But in case for people who want to flash their bios chips with such a tool there is no unlocked bios for the alienware 18 available.. Probably @Mr. Fox , @svl7 or @Prema could have a look on the bios files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sy5tem Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 hello again i know slv7 can make a custom bios files and i mean i would have no problem paying the guys for his work... One of the main reason and probably the only reason i have , is that i want to have full control of the fan .... just like my old m18x-r2 .... so i don't have to rely on hwinfo64 AND so i can push my fan @ full speed /... on the aw18 the fan never goes full RPM ... i don't know if i buy a bios from slv7 or if i program it with an spi programmer .. if this would give me control over those darn fan speed ?? anybody know? slv7 can you point me to a post or help with this? thank you!!

I have talked to svl7 and he meant that it isn't possible to unlock power limits on new aw 18 even with an unlocked bios.. we have to mod something on the motherboard. I can probably ask him whether it is possible to control the fans in another way like HWINFO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably ask him whether it is possible to control the fans in another way like HWINFO. I mostly want to be able to control fan via bios settings like with the alienware 18-r2 where you could set fan to hight @ 50C if you wanted ... the rest of the bios option can be fun but really not super needed since i can use intel XTU for most of my overclock i just don't like using a software to control de fans....
