Can any M1730 owner kindly upload their 9800M GT BIOS image? I have searched and so far only found non-dell 9800M GT BIOS. It is also not listed in the vgabios database. Help!

here is the bios you asked for 1.rom is for master 2.rom is for the slave

Nice one!!! THX a lot. i compared them and see only a few byte difference betwen 8800M and 9800M BIOS.
So for that few byte difference we really have to pay an extra £400???:banghead:

Anyway i go flash it and test it...Blind-flash not a problem hence i did a few times...:slap:
will report back.

overclocked 9800m gt

given you have done this befor here is some instructions to over clocking a 9800m gt without heat issues


rom files again View attachment 9800m gt rom overclocked.zip flash them as you did before


download this as well

View attachment fan control 32bit.zip
View attachment 64bit fancontrol.zip
View attachment SetupReadyDriverPlus.exe

install i8kfanui the 64 if you on a 64bit os and the reg if you on 32bit
if your on vista 64 install reddy driver plus befor installing the 64bit edition

after completing the installation you have to auto run the fan control set force fan speeds to high now go to the advanced tab in options et first bios fan index to 1 and second bios fan index to 2

if you have the fan speed on high at all times they will never go above 60c under the most demanding load

if you dont want the over clock the can control still works well for keeping the gpus cooled off
