This mod version include the enable/disable sli without restarting?

Yes. Mobile drivers have extra registry keys that disable that, but proprietary/unique mGPU solutions on notebooks don't (like Lenovo's GT650M SLI and GT755M SLI notebooks) and desktop drivers don't either.

Someone know if CLEVO p751dm-g supports i7 7700k ?

 

and someone can help me to change the bootlogo ?

this is my stock bios  CLEVO p751dm-g

Physically yes. BIOS-wise, not yet.

I just got an external kit for my p570wm. What do I need to do to get it to work? It's a nvidia 3dvision 1 kit. when I click on the nvidiawiz exe, it says this laptop's panel is not qualified for 3Dvision. why would it say that when it is 120hz?  Does this have to do with licensing too? Or would flashing to the 3d version premamod bios fix the issue? LGD02C5 is the hardware id for my screen.

 

I really thought you meant the internal emitter couldn't function because of the license. Did you mean the screen too?

 

And if so, What if I put my 780m from my other machine in with my 980m machine? what would happen? would 3dvision activate again?

You need to use an external screen to use 3D vision with an external kit. nVidia are money hungry.

i'm using XTU but can switch to TS if needed thanks.

I think the current systems need a very drawn-out process to switch from XTU. Clevo's fault.

Hi my new wingling is here! This 120 hz display is great!

 

Here is my score

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/16950825

 

 I hope Prema BIOS and vBIOS will unlock the full potential of this rocket-pocket...

 

Anyone knows any way to rid of current thortling without Prema BIOS? I have put high Iccmax 175a, turbo boost windows is set on 1sec and turbo boost power set to 155 wats...

Try using throttlestop alone to fiddle and setting current limit to 256A (I've seen some notebooks have 255A as highest; this may work too). Your CPU is throttling pretty hard though... it says 4GHz but that score should be closer to 3.4

Some more info on the automatic linux fan control:

There is some strange thing with the EC about querying GPU data. CPU temperature is always stored in 0x07 and CPU fan duty in 0xCE.

0xCF stores the GPU fan duty cycle, but only after starting the Hotkey utility under Windows, which seems to bring the EC in a different state. Booting Linux straight, 0xCF seems to store a constant random value.

As I could not get this running under Linux, I query GPU temperature via nvidia-smi, CPU temperature via the EC.

Once in a while, the EC reports a very low CPU temperature (< 15 deg). These values are filtered out.

Fan control application is implemented as simple user-space process. A kernel module might be better, but would be more effort and I am too lazy. I assign the FIFO scheduler to the application, so in theory it should not be interrupted, and there is a background-process that restarts it if it crashed + a check that nvidia-smi actually delivers new temperature data. In case of failure, a high fan speed is assigned as safety measure.

Running since 2 week now without issues, so I am rather satisfied and think this is stable enough for my purpose - until I come across a way to do this inside the EC.

That would have the advantage to work under Windows as well. The application could be ported easily, but I would be afraid about interference with the hotkey utility - or perhaps I should just toss hotkey completely.

If you could create a utility to adjust fans and the keyboard backlight feature while we did not have Hotkey software installed, you'd be doing all current-gen clevo notebook owners a ridiculous favour.

There is no publicly available mod for the P750DM2-G. I don't understand why you flashed a P750ZM BIOS mod to it. Even the P750DM-G BIOS would not work.

You'll need to modify the .inf file in the downloaded drivers to get them to install.(And disable driver signing while installing)

Not with Prema mod & vBIOS.

So basically I downloaded the mod from here https://biosmods.wordpress.com/p150sm/

Followed all of the instructions and was successful.

 

PS: Donated 5€(isn't much I know, sorry, but am in a tight budget right now). Will donate more in the future.

 

So, now that I did this, will I be able to just mount a 970m/980m in my P150SM, install the NVIDIA drivers accordingly(before installing them, of course, uninstall the drivers of the previous graphics card, the 770m) and be ready to go and play some games?

 

I really need to make sure of this because if it's not possible at all, I'm going to lose a lot of money because not only are either of those cards expensive as all hell but I'll have a hard time reselling them from where I am from(Portugal).

Use DDU to clean and shut down for your nVidia drivers, then install the card, then boot up and install drivers fresh. That's the best way.

Otherwise, that's basically all you need to do it, as far as I know.

Artifacts is always a faulty bga. It can likely be saved by baking it. Let me know if you are interested and I'll tell you how to bake.

If it will help, I can definitely try. I don't know if I have the correct tool to bake it, though.

Does it need to be artifacting in all games? So far it's only been one or two. The other issues (99% util at ~60% of the other card, random split-second freezes once every couple hours, etc) are universally persistent though.

Only Prema Mod? Nothing else at all? IF that's all that I'm supposed to be doing, that's good. But need some clear info.

Yup, that's it. Suggest prema mod on the GPU too after you install it but stock vBIOS should work.

@Khenglish any thoughts? This is what the dead 780M looks like 

 

I scrutinized them as best I could, but as far as I can see, the working former slave 780M and the barely-working former primary 780M looked exactly the same on all the VRMs, the core, the back, etc. If I didn't have different thermal pastes on the primary and secondary and you swapped them around while I was away from the system I wouldn't be able to tell them apart (except that ID tag near the core, of course).

Anything I could try? And/or would you want to buy the dying 780M off of me?

You will likely need a Prema mod.

180W and 980M should be generally sufficient if at stock and undervolting the processor, I think. The only issue would be whether your cooling can handle it, but I think it should be ok.

Okay, so card swap was a success. Primary card now in the slave slot displaying the same features. Less heavy artifacting with SLI on, none with SLI disabled.

Confirmed card is near dead, down to single 780M.

Let us know, if the problems persists after swapping the cards with the (maybe) faulty one as slave.

Oh yeah, for certain I will.

Will try swapping the GPUs tomorrow. It seems up until about 50% load on the primary card it's fine, and beyond that it has problems. Hopefully on single GPU the slave card will work fine as the primary.

Any advice on restoring proper functioning life to my poor poor workhorse? It's artifacting in some games, has random single-second stutters/not-smooth in others, and just performing extremely sub-par in others. Also, I cannot use NVENC to record anything (though CPU-based recording works).

Slave card seems to have no issues (I think, anyway... not sure) so if worse comes to worst I can still run single GPU for a while by swapping the cards, but I'm still going to be down a card and single GPU gets extremely hot for me here.

I have used DDU clean & restart and installed drivers fresh and still has problems (before I even enabled SLI) so I know it's the primary card.

Any black magic, voodoo, or any other thing I can use? Or maybe someone has a dusty old 780M laying around I can source for somewhat cheap? Or do I just sell this (single GPU, with second GPU cheap for parts) and go on the prowl for a new system entirely?

Here's an example of the artifacting in one game. Watch the flickering lights all over:

I see. Not all Clevo models can undervolt in BIOS though, even with a Prema Mod. My P650SG flashed with PMv2 cannot.

 

Those two settings, IOUT Offset and IOUT Slope, don't affect voltage.

Ah. Makes sense I guess. Maybe it's all about the models. I know the SM & SM-A series could undervolt (at least with prema mod). I know the ZM/DM can as well. Didn't know the P6xxSx couldn't. Can the P6xxRx I wonder?

im on v3b bios, i download the newest driver, run the installtion procedure, restart, driver is gone....

when i open nvidia experiance it wants to redownload the driver and reinstall the driver

if i do that, story repeats itself again...

 

so trying to install the newest driver leaves me with no nvidia driver

 

so just for fun i treid everything:

 

the above, most common way, downloading the new 1 installing it =no work

deinstalling software reinstalling = no work

deinstalling all software even in the system manager =no work

deinstalling everything going offline so windows cant install shit and cleaning with DDU = no work

 

device manager shows me that therre is a problem with my driver....

just spent 2 hours trying 2 install a new driver just epic, win10 + nvidia....

 

now rolling back 2 the old stable system

Just run DDU and use 372.54 drivers. Should be fine.

Also, ugh, W10. Hate that thing.

Those affect CPU TDP reporting. You can't undervolt in BIOS. If the system isn't stable it just means you've gone too far.

You can undervolt CPU in BIOS though. My model can too; I just don't because sometimes it resets.

Hello,  

  

         I recently tried to overwrite my stock BIOS with the V2 PremaMod BIOS for my Clevo GTX 980M and the latest NVIDIA drivers( 373.06). Everything worked great until I enter a game, after about 1-2 minutes the laptop shuts down and the LED located on the power supply also turns off. My laptop is a Eurocom X3 ( P157SM) which originally came with a GTX 780M and I still use the 180W Power Supply from them, could this be the problem?

        I didn't try to overclock anything because I know 180w is simply not enough. If I use the stock BIOS again, everything works back again.

Did you use both the system and video BIOS mods?

@D2ultima It seems that after pulling 255w (max) from the wall and a 1.2v aplied on my 970M the whole system said enough is enough and started beeping and flashing the led lights all over the place

 

Got a 8500 score, but that was about it. It was fun to push the system to it's limit, but now I'll be back to what I like to do most on laptops. Undervolt and reduce energy consumption without a hit on performance

BE ENTHUSIAST. GET 230W BRICK FROM P670RS. PUSH TO LIMIT WITHOUT BREAKING SYSTEM. OVARCLOOK. BWAHAHAHAHA ETC.

I think I'm hitting a limit on the power adaptor (measured 188w pull from the wall, I have a 180w adaptor) and the GPU probably can go further without another bump in voltage.

I doubt. 188W from the wall would have to be around 96% efficiency for you to actually be hitting a direct limit. It's possible but I don't think so; I suspect you should be able to at least burst-pull 200W from the wall. You could always consider using the 230W brick that's on the pascal P6xxRx models as an upgrade, though. Should have the same connector.

Yeah, just try reinstalling windows. And make sure you get logs of all of this if your company won't recompense you for it.
