    Very unlikely he'll even respond, I don't think he even made BIOS's for the R1-R5. Your best bet is to try and see if Svet has them. I believe the R1's mod is still up on the forum's somewhere

    @Brenden Weaver if your still interested I can ask dsanke only if you can provide the bios. He made my all in one bios to support features like raid, coffee lake cpu's etc.

    I have a 17r4 I would like anything for vbios, bios, you name it. and a custom vbios for my 1060, or 1070mxm cards would be cool. I'll take whatever I can get. :)
    I know pascal is hard to do anything with but maybe some more voltage? I dunno

    No.

    Only thing you can do to Pascal is TDP mod and that requires another computer and a programmer.

    Prema doesnt make unlocked BIOS for Alienwares anymore and arent publicly distributed. Anyone that gave it to you would be shunned out of existence out of respect for Prema and the work he does.

    You can use the core/voltage curve in Afterburner to tune the card to its best capabilities within the permitted TDP.

    Its a shame he is straight eurocom now from what I can tell but if dsanke can hook something up I'm down. I swear I watched a youtube vid on a 17r3 (bga) that had a prema vbios 970m

    They are still in the wild but they arent distributed anymore. So that is not surprising.

    I dont think Prema is partnered with Eurocom not sure but I know he is with others.
