It's alright, I don't *need* to overclock the CPU, but it's always nice to just tinker with it

Understood. Thanks for your attention and input!

It is indeed the locked processor. I am not seeing any way to mess with the BLCK, though, at the moment :/

Well, it's an i7 3820, so it's locked down by default, but I presumed that one could play with the BLCK to boost a bit. Maybe I was mistaken though.

I had a weird error when I tried to update the ME from the flashing. Any ideas? Error 8193: Intel ® ME Interface : Cannot locate ME device driver. I noticed now that the Intel management engine wont start in windows either, hmmm Seems when I flashed the prema bios, the ME fixed itself? somehow. I'm not worried about it, personally. This bios is a lot nicer. Kudos! Lots of options. This is how the bios should be. On a side note, is there no way to OC my 3820 from the bios? I figured there would be some blck options at least. Am I missing something?

I am not using any 3d version, as to the best of my knowledge. As far as the EC goes, where would I check to confirm it? Also, it seems some of your last thought was left unsaid still Thanks for taking the time to reply to my thread! Oh, I forgot to ask, also, for anyone who wants to give input into this. How difficult is it to change the ram out in this laptop? I heard it was kind of a pain, but I know you guys on here have done it, so is it fairly simple or a real pain all around?

I'm grateful you have taken the time to do these bios mods. I look forward to using one on my p570wm setup. The stock clevo bios is so BLEH!

Hello all, I found this site after a brief search. Very informative, so far, from what I've read. Really informative stuffs. What caught my eye the most, is the modded bios for this clevo laptop. I was wondering if anyone more informative could give me some tips/information about doing a mod of the bios on this laptop for me. I have an i7 3820 in it, with 2x8gb sticks of ram. dual 680ms as well. I want to just..more from the bios, really. It's so pathetically bare! Why would Clevo have such a crappy bios in the first place!? At any rate, I found a bios mod from prema that I *think* will work for my laptop, but I was wondering if someone felt like taking the time to help me out and just confirm all my suspicions. I used HWinfo64 and according to it, my bios version is: 4.6.5 from american megatrends and that was last updated on 03/04/2013. If there is any more information I can provide to better help someone help me understand all this better, please just let me know.
