    Just saw this, it's official and on the sager site. I installed it and all is good. What's cool about it is that it has the Sager logo in the beginning. :cool:

    The official Clevo 1.13 has been out for awhile, as well as the mysn 1.12 that has advanced options. If you have a 920XM, that would be the one you want.

    Yep. The mySN bios lets you upgrade your 920 to a 940 for the price of a download and a simple bios adjustment.

    Well I just see no point in overclocking. It'll just throttle down any ways. I don't think there is a discernible real world difference in the 920 vs. the 940 really.

    I really like the sager splash screen, so I'm keeping the sager bios 1.12s.

    And FYI: The sager bios is an iso file, so it's easy to make a bootable cd and the procedure is almost automatic. Would make it very easy to do a blind flash with, so it might make a good back up if you flash your bios a lot.

    You can run throttle stop and not worry about throttling if your that hardcore but truthfully you dont need anything more then the 920 for everyday stuff like games etc...

    If your taking a crack at some Benchmarking records though then yeah ;)....

    I am going to suffer with a i7 720 for awhile and see how impressed/depressed i am with that in my new 8760 ...

    My last W8760CU had a 920 and i was diggin it ... Not sure how i took 2 steps back in this whole deal but oh well lol....
