Unlocked Nvidia-Dell Video BIOS! Overclock your 17inch notebook Videocards!

Few words from

DELL-Machina, sakor1, & MrEvil

HOLD IT!!


Due to recent increase of people doing bad flashes were issuing a warning that if you are going to flash your videocard BIOS ensure you are using the correct BIOS to flash with otherwise face the horrors of pitch black display and the call to DELL techsupport.

Specifically users with the Inspiron E1705 or Inspiron 9400 with the GEFORCE GO 7900GS 256MB Videocards. You must first determine if you have a Rev 0 or Rev 1 Videocard Bios.
Rev 0 ver # 05.71.22.16.13
Rev 1 ver # 05.71.22.28.01

As you can see these are 2 different BIOS revisions. The easiest way to find out which you have is to restart your notebook and hit F2 when you see the DELL splash screen to enter the notebook BIOS. You should clearly be able to see which Rev card you have by comparing version numbers. Once youve determined which you have make a note of it and then proceed to the page below to Overclocking madness.

If you also happen to be using WindowsVista you should use the latest Videocard drivers available preferably Ver 158.42 and along with it the AtiTools v .27b which you can online for.

Lastly if your reading this and somehow managed to brick your card and see nothing on screen print a copy of these instructions which a local member has put together to recover (hopefully) from the flashing god bad. How To Recover from a bad Flash

Now onto the wonderful Overclocking world brought to you by JuanLu
