    So, now don't we need the 0.95V A03 Mod BIOS anymore? You have the option to change the GPU voltage to more than 1V. Is it secure to put it on 1V? Take a look by yourselves guys. I've downloaded it and, in fact, you can change the voltage to high levels!

    Doesn't work, the voltage just flips back to 0.9v.

    Same here. If so we will transform the m11x in more than a little beast, but a little dragon (Skyrim influence, I couldn't help but say it xD), doing higher stable GPU overclocks!

    Oh...did someone with the R2 test it? Especially if you have the Mod BIOS.

    Update: just tested it. Yeah, it just flips back to the default voltage. So I don't know why they release something that doesn't work, at least for us.
