[SOLVED] Alienware 17 R3 970m bios mod?
PartTimeNinja replied to Gameus's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
Well, I should clarify: Without unlocking the vbios and being able to fully utilize the "Core Clock" slider, I got a 10% improvement in TOTAL score from baseline. That with the GPU being under 70°C. After unlocking the vbios and able to increase "Core Clock", I got an 18% increase in TOTAL improvement from baseline. That with the GPU at ~81°C. The sources I read say to keep the GPU under 85°C. In the end, getting your bios unlocked will allow you to customize your experience, and you'll be able to fully drive your own performance. -

So you can definitely overclock, but you will be limited to +135mhz on your "base core clock". You will need an unlocked vbios to go up further. It is fun to do though. Just be careful of your temps. -

Download "Nvidia Inspector" and click on "Show Overclocking" on the bottom right. Then take a screenshot and upload it here. -

[SOLVED] Alienware 17 R3 970m bios mod?
PartTimeNinja replied to Gameus's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
Something interesting: I repeatedly tried to flash using another version of NVFLASH and it went through. (The NVFLASH "Certs Bypassed" one helped.) I still can't get past the 135mhz limit on MSI Afterburner or the EVGA Precision. Any ideas? -

Thank you again for all your help! I don't know what's going on, but I'm getting an error. And it seems slightly different each time: -

Thank you a bunch! I'm curious as to what I was doing wrong. I'm a DIY kind of guy, and none of the tutorials and instructions I found online worked. GM204.rom -

I have a Alienware 15 with 970m 3GB and have been searching online for hours and trying to mod my vbios for hours to no avail. Does anyone still have the unlocked vbios? And how can I "repay" the ones working on it?
