    Anyone able to post a link or upload the vBIOS? I'm sitting on 2 x Clevo cards for my R2 and would like to get them running in my machine.

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't have a link or files, but I too am interested in obtaining them.

    Just heard from Ichime, he states that the Dell vBIOS is the same as the Eurocom version. Waiting for him to send me his vBIOS, then I'll flash and get back to you.

    I really dont understand why you need vbios ?
    aren't they plug&play ?

    from where do you have the cards bro ?

    Eurocom (mr Dan Ross) told me they have tuned the ''eprom'' ?? in their cards, and they should work like stock cards basicly.......dell version of 7970m have fan stuck at one speed (in m17x r2)....

    These are Clevo based cards from RJTech. I just did a blind flash to the dell OEM vBIOS and was unable to get them to work in my R2. I think the next step is to get it installed in the wife's R3 and see if it'll go from there.

    Ichime or svl7, if you come across this in the meantime, could one of you post a link or forward a copy of the vBIOS to me? I PM'ed both of you already.

    Thank you.
