Hallo.
I have an alienware m17x R2 and bought 2 7970m to run crossfire.
The cards are only working on my laptop with a particular test.Bios that one of the cards had in it (it is a black pcbus engineering sample card
The BIOS is rock stable and everything runs great BUT the problem is that this bios is overvolting the gpus at 1.1 V while the normal volts needed are 1.025V
I tried 4-5 other bioses that are suposed to run on these cards, they are flashed succesfully BUT they then dont work right in windows (the cards cant change power state and only stay at their idle speed of 300mhz and also their temp meters dont work etc.)
SO the only solution i see if someone can please edit the test.bios i have and just change the vddc (gpu volts) to 1.025
I am willing to make a good donation to his paypal if succesfull
the link to the test.ROM file is this :

dont forget that the 7970m has two states , one is idling 2d at 300Mhz GPU and 150Mhz mem at 0.825V (vddc) and the 3d state at 850Mhz gpu and 1000mhz mem at 1.025Vddc
Please some expert help me, you are my only solution and hope, as i have usual thermal shutdowns because of the 90C temps the card reach under heavy gaming.
Thank you
