Guest Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hi, the current bios Prema supports gtx 980 in clevo P170SM ? Yes, but you need to mod the driver .inf. I've made a version which works without driver mods but it isn't public, yet. sorry noob question.. at 2nd page whats ME firmware for?Sent from my SM-N9208 using Tapatalk It is to update the update ME Firmware, which controls things like board clocks. Like the BIOS it is hosted on its own flash chip and can be updated. @ prema, tq..will try flashing prema mod bios will get full x4 pcie lane speed right by using NVMe .. If you use it in the one port x2/x4 port, sure. my bios firmware already ME 9.1 .. means i cant overclock bclk? or i can downgrade the bios ☺Sent from my SM-N9208 using Tapatalk You can flash the BIOS Mod, it'll flash a modded ME Firmware.

patrykp84 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I have a question about GTX 580M vbios. This card would most likely be used in Clevo P170HM. For now I have found one statement on nbr that the gtx 580m from dell will not work in the Clevo P170HM. And now here comes @Prema biosmod Can your vbios for gtx 580m/675m (as this is the same card) be used in dell cards and then this card will be working properly in clevo system? Or these will not work at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laos Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hi there Prema and others.Looking for some help / suggestions. I installed the OC Firmware for the 980M and your Prema Mod for my CLEVO P150SM-A . I run 3DMark and I'm only hovering around 7000, and the GPU doesn't jump past 60 or 65 C -- I pushed +100 MHZ to 1200 MHZ on NVIDIA Inspector. Is there something else I should be doing? Should I just be bumping up the MHZ jump? Should I also be tuning voltage?NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4810MQ Processor,Clevo P15SM-A powered by premamod.comThanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into safemode and uninstall any GPU utilities like TRIXX, MSI afterburner, and Nvidia Inspector and see if that fixes it. If not then sadly you need to reinstall the OS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the NBR user was wrong as the 580m is a very similar card to the 485m, and historically Dell Nvidia cards work fine in Clevo systems. For HM series don't use the 675m vBIOS, use the 580m vBIOS. For EM laptops you would want the 675m vBIOS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaozBR Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi Prema!I'm using your vBIOS and it rocks, rock solid and all my old throttle problems and knicks has gone, thanks!But now, I'm trying to squeeze a bit of performance from my old GTX680m, could you please made a full unlocked vBIOS for the version 80.04.67.00.01 (this version haves UEFI boot, so we can install Windows in UEFI/GPT mode with this).The perfect thing would be a vBIOS for 680m, like your vBIOS for 980m G-Sync if possible, that vBIOS with all unlocked is a dream.If I could help in anything, I will be glad to.Thanks another time!

Vipriel Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Gentlemen, how can I tell if I have a P170SM or a P170SM-A? My understanding is that the -A variant is the new marketing name for the P170SM but if so, why was it stated somewhere in the middle of this thread NOT to flash a P170SM with a P170SM-A BIOS? What's the difference between the two? For the life of me, no amount of Googling has provided me any answers as to what the difference is.I have a Sager NP8278 which I think is a P170SM-A but how can I be sure so I don't brick the laptop by flashing the wrong BIOS?
