180W is the strongest for the P150EM/SM plug. To go higher you need to switch out either the motherboard connector or the PSU connector.

As for what PSU to get with a mod, I like the m18x 330W PSU the best. It's cheap, high power, and seems high quality. Beware that an additional mod must be made to the PSU though to make it supply over 240W. If you do not want to do this additional mod then I recommend the m17x 240W PSU.

Thanks man.

But how can I change the PSU connector? I have to stripping the wire next to the PSU connector, and then soldering the new connector?

And what mod need to be made on 330W PSU? Is there any tutorial how to do this?

PS: Despite my nickname, I know nothing about power and eletricity...

Hey guys.

Which PSU do you recommend for Clevo P150EM or P150SM ? I want a 240W+ PSU that fits into P150EM plug. Any idea?

Thanks

Thank You for response, and what about Your temperatures ? I had 88*C max playing Crysis 3 (1680x1050 and optimal set from GeForce Experience) It is "safe" Temperature ? - Im asking cuz it's my 1st laptop, since 2001 I always used Desktop PC.

BTW anybody else ?

@Prema

I have a problem with the 0.92V vbios

It start to Artifact with 740 MHz and the Nvidia Driver is always resetting. What can i do?

Maybe you reached your gpu overclock capability....

Beyond this, you may need an overvolted vbios to reach higher clocks...

What's GPU did you have before?

Can you get into BIOS?

Maybe you could sell it about 20% cheaper than a new one...

I hear ya. Ever since I got my W230ST I haven't touched my P150EM and am considering selling it. The 680m may be a nice boost, but the 765m can run every game so far at similar detail levels at 1080p, at only a slight FPS hit, and dropping some details can get it back up there. At stock voltage I can get it to run +150 GPU (1050MHz) and +550 vRAM (2550MHz) and 3DMark 11 scores are low 5000's.

I'd rather pocket $1000 for my P150EM than have it sit largely unused. It's always good to have a second gaming laptop, because I'm always paranoid for those "just in case" scenarios, but I have a desktop that I can use for a week or two for gaming if it ever needs to go in for repair.

Sorry about the offtopic, but what's the temps of your W230ST ? I'm planning to change my Asus G46 (with a GTX 660M) 14" gaming laptop to this W230ST, but the smaller case and just one cooler worry me a lot...

Thanks

I'm new here, tried to update vBIOS using nvflash for DOS, but didn't work on my Clevo P150EM. I had to use nvflash for windows, and then worked for me.

Now I'm going to try the OV version of GTX 680M. Hope I can get at least 1050MHz on core clock.

With the modded vbios, but stock voltage, the max I can get is 920MHz...

I have an Asus G46VW, with GTX 660M and a stock vBIOS.

The max that I got is 1175MHz for the gpu clock and 3100MHz for the memory clock.
