    After much effort in persuading an ebayer to part with his 4670 from his msi lappy, i've manged to obtain this card to plant into my 6935g. Trouble with the card now is that the laptop powers off from time-to-time on stock cooling. I've already have some new thermal grease and copper shim on order, but would like some advice on undervolting this beast!
    All advice welcome! :)

    note: - EchoShade and Triturbo, if you guys could possibly upload a copy of your undervolted bios this would be much appreciated, thanks :D

    It really depends which one you have. There are two different vBIOS for the card and two different versions of the card both of which work with the Acer Aspire 693XG. I think I deleted the previous one I had for another 4670 but I still have my current one. If you can give me the full revision string for the BIOS, and if it's the same, I can put the undervolted one up for grabs.

    And you're ruining the exclusive club fun. I thought me and triturbo were going to be the only ones essentially in the world that had this.

    been patiently waiting for ages to join this club, hopefully my patience would be rewarded! not looking to steal the thunder off you guys, just want more fps! :)

    just ordered a new shim and thermal paste. hopefully i should be able to get a dump of the vBIOS for you guys to help me mod.

    btw, are you running at 1.1v? do you have any additional cooling?

    thanks for the quick reply :)
