Hello Everyone, I still have my old P170EM but the 79070M died. Which GPU can I use on a P170EM? Is there any bios modification to do? ( I am using the latest prema bios for this laptop). Thank you in advance, Best regards, N3ST

Hello Prema, Please find the latest version of the P170Sm-A bios and EC version : Bios 1.03.09 EC 1.03.09 Can you please do your magic on this bios and EC? Can you also update the differents Oprom of this bios (IGPU, LAN, DGPU, intel AHCI and RAID rom if possible). Thank you in advance, N3ST Edit : Tested biosand EC, it work fine, just waiting for the usual magic

Hello Everyone, After a year of testing on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, I can confirm that it break the gaming performance and experience on both Nvidia optimus and AMD Enduro. I tried on three differents Laptop P170EM (i7-3740MQ + AMD 7970M), P170SMA (i7-4910MQ + Nvidia GTX 880M), (MSI i3-3110M + Nvidia 640M). For exemple Guild Wars 2, on Windows 8 and 8.1, the FPS and GPU usage is heavely fluctuacting the game is not stable ( I tried different driver set and all kind of configuration). I went back to Windows 7 on the P170SMA, and now everyhting works fine, Guild Wars 2 on max settings is rock stable a 60 FPS all the time even in town!!!!. Normally Windows 8 and 8.1 should bring a better support for the dual graphic card system, this is nothing but bullshit!!. After one year of trouble to play and use my laptop correctly I can confirm that player using their Laptop should tsay away from Windows 8 and 8.1. @Prema, is it possible to implement the CSM support too choose which component should run with UEFI or legacy rom on the P170EM, There is a bug in the clevo bios whenever I use the non UEFI Bios and install Windows 7, I get blue screen with all the Intel AHCI driver I tested. If I used the UEFI Bios, I can see windows 7 Installation loading, but then as the GPU Bios is in UEFI I cannot see the installation screen to choose the drive and being the installation (blind Installation). Thank you in advance. Best regards, N3ST

Hello Prema and everyone, Please find the new intel orom 13.5.0.2118 Regarding the hotkey, it worked for a P177SM-A and a P170EM, the graphic card is now able to use all the power without any issue. BEST REGARDS? N3ST

Well, I had this issue on a P170SM-A and on a P170EM, both laptop are runnin only on AC and I removed the battery (I have a UPS). Try to remove the hotkey, use the maximum performance profile in power options and also use this tool to lift some limitation : https://bitsum.com/about_cpu_core_parking.php Let me know if you see the differences, but on my case I did some a huge improvement.

Hello Guys, Fater testing the modded bios from Prema a few month and also the Modded vbios for my 880m gtx everyhting is zorking fine. I also found something really interesting for all the clevo user : If you want maximum performance with you clevo please do not use the hotkey from clevo, I will epxlain why: When installing the Hotkey it is asking you to reboot in order to finish to install it, why? : Because it reboot to load the newly installed driver for the hotkey. After playing for a while with the hotkey manager I was not able to have the same gaming performance as when I was not using it, and I tried for hours to firgure out why, I was change the profile to maximum performance or game mode with no effect. I was searching everywhere and optimizing windows 8.1 like made, the drivers were already update to date. Then I uninstall the hotkey, and the issue was gone, instead of a 140 watt limitation I was able to use the full power of the laptop around 180 to 190 watt, no lags in game everything was working fine. All of the component are using the default clock. Please try on your side and let me know how it is, as this was a really strange issue. I also have a question for you Prema, have you seen new stock bios for the clevo P17xSM-A? The weekend is coming at last. N3ST

Ha ha , that is nothing, you work is really worth a donation, you saved my P170EM (still working fine, gona give it to my parents). I think that I can talk on behalf of everybody to say that you are doing an amazing work on the bios!

Hello Prema, I voiced it, can't wait for the mod to come

Hello Suoah, Thank you for your response. I wil just have to wait for prema to do his magic again on this new model . Prema, if you need help let me know. Best regards, N3ST

Hello everybody. Does anybody knows if the P170SM-A is compatible with the prema bios for the P170SM? I just received my new laptop today with a I7-4910mq and a 880m GTX . Thank you in advance. N3ST

I already disabled ULPS, and I can't oc my 7970m, even with afterburner, i tried to change the option in the general settings, nothing worked so far. Did I need to change the config file to do that, I am using the 3.0 beta 14. I can even flash the bios :/

Thank you prema for the ME firmware. Quick question I have a P170EM, but I can't find a way to OC my 7970m did anyone sucessfully oc his 7970m and how? thank you.

Hello Prema, a new ME firmware is available : Station-Drivers - Intel Management Engine version 8.1.50.1456

Prema you rocks, I can now use T1 timing with your new bios!!! , the bck is unlocked, the computer is running smoother than ever. We just have to wait for intel and amd to fixe their drivers once and for all, and I'll be able to enjoy my computer without any issues.
