@GreaseMonkey90: Hey, great review, thanks. I see you have the 2920xm in your system. This CPU has an adjustable TDP as well as adjustable turbo multis, I'd really like to know whether these features are locked by the system BIOS or not.
Can you manipulate the multis and the TDP with some tools or maybe directly in the BIOS?

sadly the TDP is locked in the bios  as well as throttlestop. dell wont let me OC it higher than 4.8ghz

Aww, sucks. Too bad. Would've been hell of fun to overclock it, just like the 920/940xm CPUs biggrin.gif And the voltage of the 6970m is locked as well.... why?? This really limits the OC fun.
