    Surprised to notice that nobody has brought this up:

    Driver Details | Dell Canada

    Fixed issue: Under setup menu MSATA and ODD show "not detected".

    I downloaded and tested it, no problems detected at all. Turbo boost for CPU now is switched off? Because I played Crysis 3 and I didn´t get those 89°C temps, it remained at 75°C but I haven't checked this yet.

    Could anyone tell me what the difference is between this "Specter MLK" bios and the normal A08 one? I installed this one without noticing there was the other one
