Yes i have 90C on stock vbios without oc.Thermal paste i use liquid ultra.I think this is the best paste for my gpu?No problem you help me enough;)

I had the same symptome when i used too less liquid ultra paste. Seems my heatsinks are not 100% "plane" i had to put a little more paste on the die and my temps had immediateley dropped down to maximum 63° GPU during gaming (TitanFall) and 78° CPU running prime95 with -125mV undervolt (W230SS with i7-4710mq)

Definitely with the 14" model idea, but keep Optimus. Can't see why we would want to rid ourselves of it.

you could use NVIDIA 3D features on external LCDs - for example.

If the Card could be switched.

Displayport or Mini-DP or thunderbolt on W230 models instead of VGA/HDMI

Sorry I am totally new regarding the vBIOS thing.

Where I can check the version?

I've also tried to download the drivers from laptopvideotogo.com after checked my vendor ID on device manager, but they wouldn't install either.

open NVIDIA Inspector - it showes the VBios Version.

I'll test it on my own system during the weekend...maybe it requires the driver to be installed after the change?

just tried for me it did not work. I removed the NVIDIA drivers. Set the Bios to

Chipset -> Graphics & Memory -> DGPU -> DGPU -> Auto

DGPU ASPM -> L0SL1

ASPM L0S -> Both

started windows - worked fine.

Installed the 344.11-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql driver my machine stopped (crashed) in the last step before i could click Finish. Had to hold Powerbutton to turn the computer off. Switched Bios settings back to disabled. Windows bootet but NVIDIA driver was not installed completeley. Installed it again - with disabled ASPM its working again. Well thats my machine with WQHD and "first version of normal Prema Bios" before there was the special QHD+ variant. Maybe i flash to the latest WQHD. But its all working flawless for me - only this ASPM bugs me.

So there's no problem on FHD-panels because nobody isn't compaining. There was somebody else with wqhd panel who has the same problem...

Was quite exciting when I made raid and restored windows installation.

I have the WQHD. And have no screen backlight (black screen) when i set non UEFI settings in the BIOS. With BIOS set to UEFI mode i have a normal piture during bootup, can enter the BIOS without problems.

Anyway - with non UEFI settings the HDMI is working with external LCDs. So that is my workaround after for example after a BIOS reset which sets by default back to the non UEFI Boot mode.

I'm not using UEFI, Windows 7 64bit. If I explain this way, there is no backlight in laptop screen until windows desktop. It's dead, nothing, blanko. Only I can see is blinking harddisk led. Am I really the only experiencing this?

I have the WHQD screen and on prema mod the same effect... The internal WQHD is dark during boot if you have not set "UEFI Boot" in bios. You can connect an external HDMI display and get into BIOS that way when you are in non UEFI mode. I have already reported that to Prema. Maybe he can fix it once his W230SS WQHD has arrived.

I use the non QHD+ Prema Bios version. and have Win8.1 in UEFI. So i'm fine with it. As long as i do no BIOS reset. After BIOS reset (non uefi is set by default) i need an external LCD to access BIOS and set it back to Uefi.

I am able to get my W230SS with the 2560x1440 display. Will the modded Bios work too?

Do you have a recommended ICM profile?

Had the same issue in my p170em make sure to use no other DOS Version than win98 with the HP tool..... That worked for me

well i had problems to flash my p170em's 680m under DOS so i decided to read all the posts here in this thread from the very first one up to the end (still have a headache from that)...

I found my mistake - it was a wrong MS-DOS version i had put on my usb stick created with a tool named rufus. I changed to the HP tool and the win98 files and nvflash worked like a charm....

I flashed the non overvolted Clevo 680m (80.04.33.00.10) 'OCedition' revised v01.

With stock ROM i had 5890 points in 3DMark11.

With the modded VBios i could go up to +282 on clock and + 550 on memory

[ATTACH=CONFIG]6108[/ATTACH]

and recieved impressive 793x Points in the same benchmark. Run1 / Run2 / Run3

no throttling and max temp of 77°C (had to do a heatsink fix with some ring washers on my Clevo Notebook to get more pressure on the GPU like posted on NBR)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]6107[/ATTACH]

without the mod my temps got up to 89°C.

I'm very happy that i found this awesome VBios mod done by Svl7. Nice work man - will donate you some beers soon....

.... the Clevo's kick in maximum fans at 91 degrees or so (actually there might be yet another step at 93C), and that means that often the NVIDIA throttling kicks in before the fans are at max. :/ ....

@Prema (or other Bios Modders) -> is there any chance to modify the EC for Clevo P170EM and change the temperature down ~10-15°C ?

seems i made 1 step forward - i installed a spare HDD with Win7 32Bit and now the nvflash win tool can find my NVidia Card.

Sadly DOS tool does not work. I'll try to flash it when i have some time for testing...

So my issue came from Windoes 8 64Bit in combination with the nvflash in version 5.117

(my card was not found by the tool. After uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers nvflash had reported that it could not start the needed nvflash driver ?!)

Hey - my 170EM has a bios of 4.6.5 (According to CPU-Z).

I used the 5.127 version of NVFlash. Pretty much just followed this guide:

http://forum.techinferno.com/general-notebook-discussions/2166-%5Bguide%5D-nvidia-vbios-flashing.html#post28018

could you please check your version in the system Bios:

What laptop? I have a Clevo 170EM, and can still flash in DOS (this system does have optimus)..

i have a P170EM with mainboard rev. 6-71-P15EO-D06AF

it came with AMD GPU so I had sent my notbook to Clevo (Germany) they changed my GPU from AMD 7970m to Nvidia 680m....

Madcat207 - which EC/Bios do you have? and which DOS nvflash version did work for you?

i think my problem -> 680m is not detected in DOS and Windows - comes from optimus switching (intel igpu / 680m) i found a person with the same problem on the NBR Forum he could only flash in Windows (a bootet USB Stick with DOS was not possible) and he had to deinstall the nvidia drivers first.

what are your experiences with nvflash (windows version) and Win8 64Bit?

Hi andiii

Your bios is fine, so i advise you the clevo 80.04.33.00.10 ov 1v for your card.

Remember to backup your vbios first

I tried to backup my vbios in DOS (booted with usb Stick created with rufus) but after the command "nflash --list" my clevo hangs up with constant beeping sound. I had to hold the power button pushed to turn the machine off. the command "nvflash -a" results in a lock up too - but the speakers were not beeping... i only had a blinking dos cursor

The windows nvflash gets the error that no adapter is found. With an game running in windows mode - the nvflash was able to detect my nvidia card.

Do you have any ideas what i should do to backup my 680m's vbios?

here the screenshot o my vbios

whats the difference between the three clevo vbios version? is any changelog existing?

my p170em has vbios version 80.04.29.00.01 (P2051-b002) on its 680m

Hi i am new to this forum (am active more in the german forums) and would like to give Clevo 680m - 80.04.67.00.01 'OCedition' revised_01.zip a try in my Clevo p170EM. I cannot download the file from the frist post a message come up: Andiii, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
   
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
   

why is that?

i have installed

EC 1.02.12.

and

Bios v1.02.14

on my P170EM, so a flash of Clevo 680m - 80.04.67.00.01 'OCedition' revised_01.zip should be the latest vbios am i right?

Hope to have a good time with you all @ techinferno.com.....
