I flashed my bios to A05 when I had the 6800U in my M170 and I just put in the 7800 in the M170. What is the major difference between the two.

My understanding is that A04 leaves the fan on all the time which cools the card better but takes up more battery. Is this accurate?

I really haven’t noticed much difference between the two. Although, there has been some reported issue with A05. Try the search function for more info, if you haven’t already.
