So got a X51 R1 board in! Working on unlocking the bios
Updated MC in UBU and tested. X51 A14 UBU'ed
In the setup.bin, I tried setting BIOS Interface Lock to disabled but that made no visible changes.
AMIBCP Changes result in a non-bootable bios image. (Tried User)
Thoughts/Help @Lost_N_Bios

I Brake and Fix, Not sure which order always ;P

@dragonsun252 - Please link me to the BIOS download page for this model, thanks And, before I download your file above, tell me what version it is, so I grab the same one at Dell's site.
FYI BIOS interface lock has nothing to do with anything you're interested in That is a security/flashing related setting

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM
I view the forum like this, please bump your thread 1x every 24-48 hours if no reply
