    Hey everyone.
    I have a question to Chasisty and Gary and anyone who know how edit/do any custom vBios to our G73JH?

    There is some way to edit G73JH vBios/Bios to set clocks on "Energy Saving" on 300/300 GPU/Mem and 0.90/0.95v and 830/1130 on Best Performance ?

    I want cool notebook and long on battery time when i needn't performance and best performance when i play in something...

    I tried Radeon Bios Editor (i tried edit Chasisty overdrive vBios) and i set on that timings - but after restart timings go on 700/1000 or 450/1000 on PowerPlay

    Then - is it possible to edit it and set 300/300 and 830/1130 ?
    Best way its 300/300 0.90v and 830/1130 1.20v - i wish be in Heaven ;)

    Huge problems with the Vbios for the G73JH and many tried to get this to work correctly and it was never done. What you can do is to flash with the .93 modded Vbios for lower battery timings and then go into power settings and switch ATI power management to battery mode and the clocks would then drop down to the minimum 100/150 at 0.9v which is what I did and I managed to get by. You could also setup a hotkey to Powerplay to be able to switch it on and off to drop the clocks as well if you would rather.

    Remember as well the Asus 5870M was hard wired so your mention about having 1.2Volts is impossible sadly no one attempted to hardmod it and there is little point in doing so because it will be met with failure so you only have .9V and 1.1V to work with.
