L502X modded bioses download (GPU voltages and more!)

[capitankasar]

Back to your modded .85 A09 bios. I had issues with the .85 A10, and was using the stock A10, but the .85 A09 works great, much lower temps. I am not sure what's the difference, but A10 seemed to have issues running .85.

what kind of issues did you had with the A10 version?
crashes or temps only?

It seemed like I was getting display timeouts, like my desktop would lock up and become unresponsive.

uploaded two more bioses.

* A09 gt525m 0.83v/0.85v (I'm currently testing its performance/stability on games with some OC)

* A10 gt525m 0.83v/0.85v

if you want another version not present in the list, just let me know, also feel free to leave feedback of already existing bioses

I haven't had to use this fix yet, I just got my computer back from Dell. My warranty just ended and I figured I'd be screwed if it happened again, but seeing this has put my mind at ease. Thank you. Dell should probably give you a job, since you seem to do what they can't.

well, I didnt had any crashes with stock config, however I noticed messing with voltage improve the OC and also help to decrease the temps, so it basically helped a lot to optimize my lappy any maybe some others too.

in the case of gt540m user, well the crashes are a problem for many people ,i'm glad this helped people with that.

well, I am unemployed at the moment, but I highly doubt about dell will pick me xD


thank you

Hey guys,

What is the best way to test my overclock? 3DMark Vantage?

Thanks

@rackers

for other cards, tools like OCCT worked fine
however, with this laptop, I found that some clocks I though they were stable after hours of testing with OCCT crashed after 20 minutes in some game.

for that reason I suggest to test OC in games, if they dont crash after hours, great!, else lower the clocks and/or try a different voltage setting

And if you have a DX9 game, run that as well; sometimes they are more likely to cause a crash (for unknown reasons)

yeah, you are right.

relating my tests, I found that dead space 2 really hate overclock

it crash with 685 core speed, but I can keep playing hours skyrim with 720 core and maybe more without crashes.

I switched to 0.83v/0.85v on my 525m, 0.83v while gamming crashed more often on higher clocks, however it is Ok with 0.85v

now I making a list of games and max stable clock for it on my card.

I just want to get the max juice from my GPU

Hi,

first of all thanks for this Thread ! Good Work

I dl'ed the A10, 0,83/0,85 Bios für 540m.

I tried the 1v for Oc'ing but it was unstable. With 0,85v I COULD oc... very easy to 775/975.

Gaming was perfect, no problem at all. BUT... in Windows the VDDC jumps to 1 V ... (remember with the 0,85 bios) and i will have a driver crash within 5 minutes just at surfing or just idling in windows. In games as i said it works.. start vddc is 1.. then it jumps to 0,85 and works rly fine with the oc'ed mhz !

I'm confused and dont know how to fix it... it cant be, that the games running good but in windows i get driver crashes ala (kernel blabla, have to restart driver)

Maybe some help ? I read about this before in the thread, but they had not my issues with crashes.

Temperature is NEVER over 70.

Greetings
