    850 core crashes on this particular card :/ No voltage tweaks though, and no repasting. ~81C max during 3dmark11

    I wonder if there is any way to edit the bios of nvidia cards like you can with ATI bios editor. It just needs a little more voltage for the core to pull a 80% oc.

    Maybe unlocked bios mod can reveal voltage control for Quadro through bios. I saw some one requested a mod bios in MOD-BIOS forum but the modder told him that the bios used on Dell M6600 was somehow different and not regular.
    Can you tell me what Bios does the M6600 use? Phoenix,Insyde...?
    Thanks.

    It is not the regular blue screen phoenix bios. Looks completely customized for the Precision line. This was the case for the older generation as well.\

    It appears to be completely made by dell.

    Too bad I hope they unlock the bios someday . If I am not wrong they have done this before maybe for the Alienware line .

    Yes I can flash vbios on my R2. that can increase voltage as well. I use throttlestop for cpu oc. But I dont think dell will do that ever for the precision lines

    Pretty sure the M6600 uses UEFI and not BIOS. It could still be done but it's way out of my skill set.

    Thanks dvanburen for the note. I made a request in Bios-mods forum for a test file. As far as I know it is possible to unlock UEFI. However, according to "bios-mods" the UEFI Bios is still under research and they will try to make test files.
    If they answer my request , I will test it if there is a way back if something happens.

    Dellienware how far did you go with the CPU overclock?

    just found out why it overclocks so well.. compared to the counter part of consumer end gpus, which probably has the same core anyways, the quadros are significantly underclocked in the first place. look at 5010M compared with 580M as well. So when I compare the clocks from its consumer counter part, I got about only 30% oc from "original" clocks. Which sounds very normal for nvidia chips... way to dupe us nvidia..
