Any updates for the R12, including BIOS updates, will always be posted on the drivers download page: R12 drivers page
If you sort it by released newest the latest updates will be displayed first. I found that the easiest way to check for updates.
Currently the latest updates were posted June 17, 2021 (2 days ago) with an update for AWCC.
Reply Wait I don’t get it some people said that 1.1.1 bois update already fixed the issue https://www.reddit.com/r/Alienware/comments/nfb6zz/massive_improvements_after_latest_aurora_r12/
im honestly confused.
Reply There were 2 issues with the R12:
1. Slow RAM access speeds. (Memory read/write speeds)
2. Inability to select between gear 1/2 mode. (higher than anticipated memory latency)
#1 has been addressed with the BIOS update.
#2 has not been addressed yet and there's only Gear 2 mode available.
#1 and #2 are 2 different issues. Read/Write speeds and latency are 2 different things.

#1 has been addressed with the BIOS update.
Negative ghost rider, don't spread incorrect information.. There is still a major RAM latency issue - so the RAM issue is definitely not fixed
Reply That is caused by item #2. The read/write speeds have been addressed with the bios update.
See this report by an R12 owner with the latest bios: R12 read/write speeds

Yep r12 owner here and the ram latency is still crazy high. Still no word on a fix. It’s been a while since the latest update so who knows.

Can you update this post to tell me if they fixed it (later)?
