What you have to run depends on what you are trying to install.

In case of the P-EM models it is "update.bat"..."flashme.bat" is only for the old DOS ME installer

Hi Prema,

could you add a mod for the P150EM bios to remove the 2GHz CPU throttling when discrete GPU is in use?

Cheers,

Selphie

Throttlestop gets rid of throttling that I got when using the discrete gpu. It would be nice though to not need to run TS.

I have fixed it on my W110ER... ;)

Does the CPU Turbo deactivate while dGPU is active on P-EM models, too? Or how does it show?

 

OK I am going through the code, they use a different method on the EM series...

Turbo turns off.

CPU isn't really burning that much power btw. It reports around 25W high when dGPU is on without updating the microcode.

The current BIOS v17 code that is responsible for the throttle is equal in P170EM & P150EM, but it looks like on the P-EM Series the whole throttle thingy was only introduced in the later BIOS revisions. I am looking at an earlier BIOS it is absent, so are some sleep-states...but it helps me in isolating it, so let's see. I am digging :)

OK, I have isolated the code, ready for a beta run tonight Kheng-man? ;)

What settings are you using for ThrottleStop?

1) Launch Throttlestop v5+

2) Set multiplier to “Turbo” (Highest value) and check the box.

3) Click “Turn On” in the bottom-right corner.

4) Click “Save” in the bottom-left corner.

I am! Running a bit older bios anyway.

Did you also get rid of the stupid x15 multi limit when on battery? It doesn't save power at all while making things take 2x as long to load. TS kills it, but it's still silly.

Also the missing sleep states in early bios makes sense since the earlier bioses did have poor battery life. IMO battery life is still a bit short for an 8 cell, but 5h is still decent.

I have a Sager NP9150 with Corsair Vengeance 32Gb @ 1600Mhz. Win 8 Pro 64Bit.

My system currently is:

ME FW Version: 8.1.40.1416

Bios Revision: 1.02.17LS1 Sager

KBC-EC firmware Revision: 1.02.11SA Sager

Which Prema Mod should I use? The 1T or 2T version? I'm thinking 2T because I have 32GB RAM but I'm asking just to make sure since I'm usng Corsair Vengeance @1600Mhz.

Also my Windows key is on the left and my Fn key is on the right side. Do I need to manually switch the keys or is the placement fine?

Thanks for helping a newbie.

Try the T1. If it's unstable (unlikely) then you can safely flash to a t2 bios after removing 2 sticks of ram.

Try 1T.

I have Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 8GB*4.

No problem with DDR3-1600 10-10-10-27 1T.

and I oveclocked these to DDR3-1866(11-11-11-27) 1T.

It's stable and passed memtest86+ with this setting.

(1866-10-10-10-27 1T wasn't able to pass the tests)

Thanks all for the advise.

I upgraded with 1T and all appears well. I really like the feature where the cooling fan kicks in when the temps begin to rise at 49C keeping my laptop cool between 47-48C. Really great!

Where are these throttle fixed BIOS? Also can you change the boot screen, that huge circle one is hideous.

I can't get the system to boot in UEFI mode. I have Windows 8 installed on an NP9150. What settings should I have? With Sager's stock BIOS I could use UEFI mode with just having OS set to Windows and UEFI set to enabled. I could toggle Secure Boot on and off and the system would always still boot correctly in UEFI mode. Now, when I enable UEFI mode, the system will always boot and go to the BIOS screen. I can tell it my OS is Windows 8 or Other and boot in normal BIOS mode, but I can't get UEFI boot to work. I've tried all combination of Secure Boot settings and no luck. Any help please, someone?
