Hopefully a new vBios for my AMD Radeon 8970M!

Okay, I think 1.025V is still a little high. Even at 850/1250, when GPU usage hits above 80%...temps get to 85C+! Once it reaches like 87C, the machine cuts off automatically. I really need to figure out how to lower the voltage from the vBios. The editors on this site don't work for me ><

Is it right that the machine is cutting off when it hits a certain temperature? I am not familiar with Alienwares since I got rid of my M11x but my Clevo P170SM simply throttles back the GPU if it hits a certain temperature (well technically the Nvidia bios does this but the effect is the same).

I would have expected the GPU to throttle rather than the system to shut down (at least in the first instance and at relatively modest temperatures for a high end mobile GPU (my 780M has built in throttling at 93 degrees...).
