    Sorry, I couldn't find the right topic, so I'm creating this one.

    I have the m11x R1

    So, I did the 2GHz SLG pinmod last week and I'm running pretty stable. I'd like to know if by upgrading the Bios to the modded one is going to reset the settings or keep them, because if it exits overclock mode when I upgrade the Bios, my laptop won't boot anymore.

    Can I change back to 0.9v without changing the Bios? Is there an option for it or does it get stuck in 0.95v?

    I heard that if you try to disable the intel card, the Bios bricks, is this true? Is there any other issue with this Bios?

    And finally, how much hotter will the card run? Because the temperature can easily reach around 40C (104F) in spring and summer in Brazil, and I'm concerned about overheating.

    I got 78C in the GPU with the room temperature of 39C last week 335m@(563/1341/917)

    Thanks, I just downloaded it. I didn't flash it yet because I want to make sure first it won't disable overclock mode.
    Is this Bios A04 or A05?
