    Hey PWn3R,

    Any luck?

    Can't speak for anyone else that has the 7970M, but mine are not functioning in my R2 - no display whatsoever. I was able to hear Windows start up through the speaker and the cards have been confirmed to work in my wife's R3.

    I'm currently stymied by the flex cable from the MB to the power button/touch control panel that's keeping me from taking it apart and continuing my efforts to get the 7970M going. That part should be in my hands by next week sometime. Until then, my 7970 project is on hold.

    Which model of 7970M did you get? Clevo, Dell, or Eurocom?

    I'm hoping he got a Clevo card. I really want Dell's 7970M version to work. I don't have the cash to buy one from Eurocom but I do have my Dell Preferred Acct.

    I got 2 x Clevo based cards. I flashed them through the R3 to the same vBIOS that ichime had to successfully get his cards working in his R2.

    @WhapAChow what vbios are you using for you 7970m, dell's? is it possible for you to upload it here?

    I'm getting quite frustrated as my dell 7970m shuts the machine down when it is reaching 87 degrees, and I don't really see the reason why it is happening?

    Any help would be grateful!
