    So I have a Sager 5792 from around January ~
    What VBIOS should I be using? I Read that some VBIOS arent as good? Or may be the cause of Downclocking?


    Which VBIOS are the newer 8800MGTX's coming with? Which one should I be using?

    the only reason you really need to update is if you have one older than .14 or you want to make a custom clocked one. otherwise here really only is one (.14) in use right now..

    have you updated the bios yet to 1.00.08? and the keyboard firmware to 1.00.07sh? that should be what you do first if not

    If the fans annoy you by going slow fast slow fast, then get it. If not, then you're fine
