  1. Hi Just a quick question. I have a old P570WM with a 2.1 motherboard, just need to know if the 970 or 980 GPU's are compatible ? As I been offered a pair of 970's for silly money, I know 780's wont work, not sure if 880's would either. Thanks
  2. Go to the main Settings menu in Windows 10, click “Recovery,” then click “Go back to Windows 8.1.” Follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. If I remember correctly the P370EM will only work at 60hz, fitting a 120hz screen is unlikely as uses a different connector on the motherboard (50pin for 3D and 40pin for 2D). I also seem to remember some P370EM were fitted with both connectors (50 and 40 pins) in which case you would need to flash a 3D bios as well. You would need to check if you have a dual connector board.
  4. Had tried everything you suggested and still no joy. However have now got it working. Ended up uninstalling the drivers for the WiFi/BT card, shutting down the machine. Removing the card, restarted Windows, then shutdown the machine again then put the card back in and restarting. This time Windows 10 picked up the WiFi/BT and installed its basic drivers then installed the Intel drivers. Everything working as it should so a happy bunny now.
  5. Ignore Windows 10 updater, Just upgrade/install Windows 10. Others have done it with a modded inf. See post below. http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo/10685-%5Bwindows-10%5D-clevo-laptops-issues-solutons.html#post141181
  6. P570WM/980M in SLi. In place upgrade from Windows 7. Only a couple of slight issues, manly with Hotkey app..Can't turn on the Bluetooth (either in Hotkey or Windows) and the Hotkey for WiFi switching has no effect either on or off thou can be turned on/off within Windows. The hardware indicator lights for BT and WiFi stay lit regardless if on or off under Windows 7 they would switch on and off. And when you change the keyboard colours, the keyboard graphic/area selector is oversized, you need scroll the screen to exit the setting app. Hotkey 6.0100 for Windows 7 also have tried Hotkey 8.0153 for Windows 8 both do the same thing. Other than that everything else works just fine and Windows 10 is way better than 8, thou I really hate the flat look everything has and those spud ugly icons. UPDATE: Even after a fresh clean install still cant get bluetooth to work (Intel 6235 with Intels Windows 10 drivers).
  7. Thought I would create this thread for all Clevo users that have or are about to upgrade to Windows 10. Please report back on an issues and solutions you may have with Windows 10. Include details on your Clevo model, GFX cards and which version on Windows 10 you are running (Home, Pro, Ent, 32bit or 64bit), fresh install or upgrade (from what version of Windows).
  8. Looks like you are flashing in windows try creating a bootable DOS USB Flash drive and flash that way. You can use Rufus to create a MS-DOS bootable usb drive. Just make sure the option (Create a bootable disk using " is set to MS-DOS. Extract your flash files to the newly created DOS usb drive, then boot your machine. Press F7 at machine startup and select the USB device. Then follow the instructions included in the Vbios. Hopefully you'll be able to flash a working Vbios. Rufus https://rufus.akeo.ie/
  9. Don't think it will - Not a size issue, but a slot issue. AC1525 uses a M.2 slot not the mini-pci the P???EM series use. You can fit a half-sized card with something like this JUSTOP Half to Full Height Mini PCI Express (PCI-E) Card Bracket Adapter: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
  10. Try looking here :-> https://biosmods.wordpress.com/p170em/ If you flash either the K1 (Win key right of keyboard) or K2 ((Win key left) of keyboard) versions of bios, your memory will run at a T1 state (make machine a bit snappier) however if you get ram issues/crashing etc. Just flash the T2 version and your memory timings are returned back to stock.
  11. Liquid ultra/pro is best suited to CPU (CPU's with integrated heat-spreader and copper heat-sinks) use. For GPU I would go with Liquid pads, which allow for uneven heat-sinks. Easter to install (Just cut to fit) and far less risk of eletrical shorting
  12. You can get the 970m from Eurocom for 535 euro (+shipping). Thats the full kit 970m card, new heatsink, X frame, Thermal pads and the thermal paste.
  13. Don't use the Vbios pulled with GPUz, use the nvidia flash util to make the back up. As for editing Vbios have a word with the master Prema
  14. Much the same temps for me, your about +3 higher than mine. Can be down to much paste, warped heatsink etc, each machine is different so dont worry about it. The temps are good.
  15. The P377SM-A uses a 4 pin din (also used in P170EM, P370EM/EM3, P570WM/WM3 X7200 machines) type of connector so unless your machine that type of connector your out of luck, unless it can be modded to suit your needs. If you have a P150EM then you have the more standard barrel connector (centre pin outer-edge type of connector). You can use a modded Alienware M18 psu, have a look in the hard mods thread.
  16. The tests i did are over the top, after all your not going to be running your system cpu/gpu's at 100% load all the time. Under normal usage you should be fine on a 180watt. The 3920xm will use a bit more (rated at 55watt) which maybe just a bit to much for the 180 watt (remember things like 180/200/240/300 watt psu's are rated on peak output, meaning they should only be run at 180/200/240 etc watts for a short very period of time. Prolonged use at max output will kill them). So when you upgrade your cpu and gfx, do think about getting a better psu esp if your going overclock either of them.
  17. Not sure how you came by those numbers. I've been running a 980m in a P370EM with no issues on a 220 watt psu. Have done a bit of testing today with the 680m and the 980m installed with the power supply connected to a load meter. And with the 980m card idle it uses about the as the 680m, much the same story at 100% load the 980m uses about the as the 680m. Even running the 3rd gen i7 and the 980m at 100% load the wattage was on 2 watts more than 680m. The system never hit any more than 170 watts (in total) running either the 980m or 680m. Update: Just run the total load test again this time with 980m in SLI on a 330 watt psu, total wattage at 100% cpu/gpus was 248 watts. And 680m in SLi was 247 watts.
  18. Impressive temp drop, by the sounds of it your gpu heatsink wasn't sitting very flat on the gpu core (A free design flaw with most Clevo machines) or it had a very bad paste job. Hopefully should you need to replace the pad (for whatever reason) it will come off clean and you've not had any liquid metal leakage.
  19. To be honest I wouldn't recommend them. Expensive. Little improvement in temps. Can be difficult to get to phase change (Burnin) without the gfx card(s) shutting down due to overheating (Act as insulators until they change phase). Nightmare stuff to clear off at a later date. Just go for MX4 or Diamond pastes, Cheaper, more of it and instant results.
  20. Yes - you may get less or more overclock, every cpu/paste/cooling systems are different
  21. Yeap I've used Coollaboratory Liquid MetalPad's on 680, 880 and 980's and to be honest made very little difference to temps maybe -1c or -2c compared to MX4 paste.
  22. Got the same cpu in a P370EM with 980m and can't say I've noticed any bottlenecks cpu wise. Biggest bottleneck I had was with the old mechanical harddrive . Every game I've run has been perfectly fine in the cpu department
  23. The flat cable (with the white connector) is for power and data signals for the module.
  24. That cable (circled) is for a Bluetooth module. Most of us have wifi/bluetooth combo card installed so i's not in use.
  25. 1. I used 2mm and 3mm pads. 2. I think its EM cooling to SM (Seem to remember the EM has more heatpipes, maybe wrong on that) 3. Have 980's in sli in my 370em/300w psu with some over clock with no issues. If you decide to upgrade your GPU's get them from Eurocom as they supply pads, paste, screws and replacement H/S with it.
