Svl7 moded bios for gtx 980m 8gb alienware

Hello guys so i am experiencing power throttle in my alienware r1 gtx 980m is not going at its maximum boost core clock so i thought let's flash vbios but i couldn't get it from anywhere techinferno is not allowing me to download it what shall i do

 

Hello, the best way is to flash with ur own vbios, you have to change some settings in the vbios in order to stop the power throttle,share your vbios and i can help you changing that settings to stop the power throttle.

 

hey i am the youtube guy i used your vbios to eliminate the power throttling

 

just wanted to know how much overclock i can do on alienware 17 R1

 

The 980M does not have as much OC range as say a 970M. That’s my own experience.

 

Would you share vbios which elimanates pwr thortling?

 

sure

 

Hithere!
980m here as well...I was wandering what wattage did you ppl have and what is the wattage now with this vbios?
Mine peaks around 100 for very short time and stays at 80w when under load with 45c temp.

 

@Baqir Thanks. I will test it soon

 

45c sounds unbelievable?! Which vbios you have installed?

 

he is probability mistaken or is using it with liquid metal or maybe in snow. xD

 

Snow cooling? Why not

@Baqir Is it possible to implement your anti-throttling settings to svl vbios?

 

i don't know I got it done by someone if you can share your results

 

No snow
Conductonaut
New pads
High cfm fan
Pwm bypass switch
All copper heatsink
Modded U3 cooling pad
Noise canceling headphones
Vbios that came with the card
Its all here somewhere, browse my posts

but what about your watts?

 

@IVHOTEP Your vbios looks like stock Clevo.
It looks like I am to hot I made screenshot after 1 hour of playing RDR2.

 

Which pads u used?
Which fan did you changed?
Pwm bypass switch - what is this?

 

Which one you were using previously can you share

 

You basically cut the pwm wire and the fan will run at 100 speed there are different mods you, can do to put it on/off switch

 

Tommorow I will make same test with svl vbios. From previous test I think svl give best performance and lowest temperature. Your vbios behave like stock without pwr throttling, but today I observed droping frequency of memory during rdr2 sesion.

 

any updates on that?

 

I used Gelid Solutions GP Extreme Thermal Pad 80 x 40 x 2*1.0 mm 12.0 W/mK
The GPU fan is Alienware M17x R4 17.3" GPU Cooling Fan THPDJ DC28000BGF0

lot of work but the results are amazing

 

Heres playing world of tanks, ultra settings@120Hz display.
CPU/GPU @ 45c
I remember stock amd R9m290x was cooking at 90c years ago and theres much more graphics in the game now.
the bottom hwinfo graph is that of gpu power. As you can see its 80w flat mostly with few spikes to 100.
I'd call that a 80w card?
Is it throttling?

Baqir, I seem to remember we got the very same card.
I was just wandering what kind of behaviour is with vbios from your post #7

 

The green line in your screenshot shows the power throttling and i can see the voltage is locked at 1v which is not enough i guess.

 

So this vbios you posted eliminates that?

 

Exactly i had the same issue so i got it fixed by modifying the backup of original bios.

 

I still working on it. For a few days every vbios working great without throttling, but today after I switched back to svl and try new nvidia drivers, throttling is back.

 

alright keep me posted.

 

Summary: in my case every vbios (org, prema, svl, baqir) on different drivers throttle after cold start.
The only solution was hibernate or igfx bios trick. It helps every time until next cold start.
All vbioses dropped frequencies both on clock and memories, beside baqir's which dropped only on memories.
From all 4 vbioses I prefer svl version, it generate same temperature as all others and best performance. If someone can modify svl vbios to eliminate power throttle on clock and memories please let me know.

 

the voltage on slv is bit too low for me it's 1.0v where as in my bios it's 1.0370v you can probably use nvidia inspector to toggle that.

 

Voltage is no problem for me. Svl vbios is stable. Throttling is problem with all vbioses.
