  1. I installed a GTX 970M (3GB version) MXM card that was pulled from an MSI into my Clevo 151EM (w/ Prema Mod BIOS) with no issues. Details on this page: Procedure: - after physically swapping the MXM modules (with proper heatsinks and brackets) and using new 180w power adapter - uninstalled any current Nvidia drivers in the system - modified the inf of the official Nvidia.com drivers - installed the driver (I'm using Win7 Pro x64) - restart, it works now for games and benchmarks. (And Optimus graphics switching works fine if you use the official Nvidia drivers) Temps: - Idle ~42 C - Load ~81 C (with FurMark - Burn-In mode) Done.
  2. UPDATE: was able to modify a MSI GE62 drivers to work with the GTX 970M (3GB). UPDATE 2: same modification works perfect with the official Nvidia.com laptop drivers for the GTX 970M (3GB). I found the version of an MSI (MS-1W0J1) Nvidia GTX 970M (3GB version) (N16E-GT-A1) that matches up in the drivers, so I modded the inf to make it work with my MXM 970M 3GB that I just put into my Clevo P151EM (w/ Prema Mod BIOS). This might be different to someone reading this depending on which notebook you are modding it for. My subsys is for Clevo in this inf modification. File name: MSI's 359.06 drivers UPDATE: works with the latest (as of this post) 381.65 official Nvidia drivers as well. Lines I edited in the "nvmi.inf" (or "nvmii.inf" if you are modding official Nvidia.com drivers): 1.) Replaced: NVIDIA_DEV.13D8.1134.1462 - with: NVIDIA_DEV.1618.5105.1558 2.) Replaced: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D8&SUBSYS_11341462 - with: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1618&SUBSYS_51051558 Note: the SUBSYS is unique to my notebook (Clevo P151EM), if you have a different notebook, you should modify this value to reflect your's for the modded INF to work. Procedure: - uninstall any current Nvidia drivers in the system - modified the inf of the 359.06 drivers I got from MSI's site (or the official Nvidia.com drivers) - installed the driver (I'm using Win7 Pro x64) - restart, it works now for games and benchmarks. (And Optimus graphics switching works fine if you use the official Nvidia drivers) Temps: - Idle ~42 C - Load ~81 C (with FurMark - Burn-In mode) Hope this helps someone in the future. P.S. I will see if I can get the latest Nvidia drivers and edit them. Hopefully the videocard will still function. UPDATE: latest official Nvidia drivers work with the modification, and it works better since the Optimus switches off the dGPU when its not being used. Yay.
  3. Just wanted to say thanks for the forum. Had my Clevo P151EM (a.k.a. Sager NP9130) with GTX 670M for years now and updated to the latest Prema Mod BIOS (P151EM_17_11_PM_v2_K20), all is well. And yes, I got a 180w power adapter and the proper heatsink and brackets when I did the upgrade. Just bought a GTX 970M (3GB version) that was pulled from an MSI. its mounted fine and is detected by the Device Manager, problem is that its not switching to the Nvidia graphics for any games or benchmarks. And it seems to not get detected in the BIOS (says "VGA Card: Off" at the Main screen).... could just be the BIOS not reading the VBIOS, but it is detected inside of Windows. I have downloaded the vBIOS for several Clevo GTX 970M (3GB) and used multiple version of NVFLASH (Certs bypassed) and keep getting the same issue: "Board ID Mismatch" Example: nvflash -6 970.rom NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility (Version 5.287.0) Modified Version By Joe Dirt Checking for matches between display adapter(s) and image(s)... Adapter: GeForce GTX 970M (10DE,1618,1558,5105) H:--:NRM S:00,B:01,D:00,F:00 WARNING: Firmware image PCI Subsystem ID (10DE.0000) does not match adapter PCI Subsystem ID (1558.5105). WARNING: None of the firmware image compatible Board ID's match the Board ID of the adapter. Adapter Board ID: E90B Firmware image Board ID: E91E Please press 'y' to confirm override of PCI Subsystem ID's: Overriding PCI subsystem ID mismatch ERROR: Board ID mismatch This happens with every Windows version of NVFLASH that is compatible with the video card. - uninstalled all Nvidia drivers, disabled the video card in the Device Manager, tried to flash in Safe Mode - all the same result I cannot seem to bypass the "Board ID Mismatch" error. Is there another method to using nvflash? (whats the difference with that and "mnvflash"?) Any suggestions? Thanks. UPDATE: read next post. I was able to get the video card working without having to force flash to another VBIOS.
