DELL M18X A03 BIOS THROTTLE REMOVAL GTX580M SLI

[barcode]

I HAVE TOLD YOU IN A PM THAT THE EMBEDDED CONTROLLER IS RESPONSIBLE THE FAN SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES THE THROTTLE TOO , IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM IS THE EC FIRMWARE AS IT IS NOT FLASHED WITH ANY BIOS UPDATE SO IT MIGHT BE THAT THE EC FIRMWARE WHICH YOU HAS NOW IS FOR THE A00 BIOS NOT THE A02 OR A03................I`M LOOKING DEEPLY INTO THIS , JUST BE PATIENT

I`M LOOKING IN A00 , A02 AND A03 ALL NOW TO SEE IF I CAN ADD 580M GPU SUPPORT TO THE A00 .

ALSO , PLEASE FLASH THE MODIFIED A00 BIOS ( MOD2 ) WITH THE MODIFIED FLASH UTILITY ( ATTACHED IN MY LAST POST WITH THE MODIFIED A02 AND A03 )

---

OK , LET ME MODIFY THE FLASH UTILITY NOW AGAIN ,WAIT FEW MOMENTS .

Ok throttle is still there in A02 but took a little longer to kick in in 3dvantage all unlocked options are the same as A03 which is good.

One question will the cpu fan options work now as i have not tested this part as im more concerned in throttle

I GUESS ITS A USELESS OPTION AS MODIFYING THE FAN SPEED REQUIRES MODIFYING THE EC FIRMWARE AS WELL NOT ONLY THE SETUP UTILITY .
ALSO , THE THROTTLE TEMP STILL AT 73 OR WHATS THE THROTTLE TEMP NOW !

CAN YOU PLEASE FLASH THE MODIFIED A00 BIOS ( MOD2 ) USING THE SAME FLASH UTILITY AND SEE IF IT DETECTED THE 580M GPU OR NOT !

The throttle is not kicking in at 73 my gpu temps has not reached 68 and throttle was detected.
Please understand im using the 0.92v gpu volt mod to test for throttle over 750mhz on gpu,
Because standard 0.87v only can give me 740mhz without artifacts (anything over 740mhz on standard volt 0.87v give artifacts and glitches),

I have to use 0.92v so i dont get artifacts over 750mhz but throttle is kicking in not specific to temp's must be load or something else.

Now as for flashing the A00 bios it's still coming up with an error rom not detected should i rename the mod2.rom file to PAR10MEC.fd but the file size is half the original PAR10MEC from A02/A03

I KNEW THE SIZE DIFFERENCE AS THIS IS A BACKUP NOT THE ORIGINAL , RENAME AND FLASH IT WITH THE SAME MODIFIED FLASH UTILITY .
