no, it is not auto detect. Unless you are running Win7 and have the reboot after sleep issue do not bother with bios versions above 9c.17.00 as they will by default raise the GPU idle temps.............................

how do i downgrade from 9.23 to 9.17 i think its the reason im having overheating problems and fps drops in games. btw i am a complete noob when it comes to computers so a noob friendly step by step guide would be super appreciated.

edit: wow literally all i did was click on a link provided by tanware in another thread and extracted the file, clicked setup and it updated to version 9.17 and booted for me. now i have version 9.17, thank you so much. i saw ppl talking about all this complicated stuff in downgrading i hope im fine? says i have version 9C.17.00 12/xx/2008

man i miss my fan being this quiet, ive had 9.23 for so long now and gaming my fps has dropped so much when the fan starts overworking, so happy

Hey TANWare you happen to have a working link to 9C.17.00 , i notice that my laptop runs much hotter since i updated to 9C.23. Also i got a few question i hope someone can answer. My laptop is P-7803H-CA its a model i don't see people talk about often , the native res on it is 1440x900 so i was wondering if i can swap in a 1900x1200 screen from higher P-78 models. Also if i downgrade to 9C.17.00 will it have issues detecting X9100 CPU when i got to install it?.

1,) yes other 1920x1200 screens from P78xx's should work
2.) 9c.17.00 works fine with the x9100
3.) Search my posts (as the user above did), I host all the bios versions in a single zip

Thank for the reply great help you are. (Yoda), also while your at it does this laptop support 8gb 4x2 i have been hearing that it can't support it. Running at 8500 1066 works but not quite sure about 1333 10666, higher latency and a bit of a boost would be nice if 1333 is confirmed for this laptop memory specs.

I have a P-7811FX and I just put 2x4GB sticks of GSkill 10666 1333 and it seems to run just fine but I think it's still running at Frequency of 533 dual channel which I think is still only 1066 so unless someone can tell me us how to make it run at 1333 or 667 dual it may have been a waste of money.

This Phoenix BIOS really sucks!

The PM45 chipset max is 1066 or 533 and dual channel..................

Hello I came here to personally thank you for this "IMV-026" bios. I have been struggling with overheating on my Gateway P-7805u FX. I had cleaned out the vents and everything, applied new heat paste/ heat pad to no avail but using this bios made my laptop run at 55 degrees up to 70 max at load where as before it was 70 at idle and 90 at full load with a lot of frame drops.
