Guest Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Omg ... where i can find EC V4?I thought, download from your post of #3, "P170EM_17_12_Stock.rar" Can i after this, dowload of post of #1? "P170EM_17_12_PM_v2.rar" From the first page: IF THE CURRENT SYSTEM BIOS / EC IS 1.00.03 OR EARLIER, IT IS MANDATORY TO UPDATE TO 1.00.04 BEFORE USING THIS MOD! I made and attached an easy to flash version of BIOS & EC v4. Create a bootable pendrive and follow the readme. Careful this is only for people with a BIOS/EC lower than 1.00.04! A downgrade from a newer BIOS/EC to this v4 WILL BRICK YOUR NOTEBOOK. Hey I am planning to buy a Sager NP9150 with GTX680M. I wanted to know what type of bios I need to overclock it. I am a noob so instructions will be appreciated. Welcome to T|I If your Win key is on the left use: P150EM_17_11_PM_v2_K2.rar If your Win key is on the right use: P150EM_17_11_PM_v2.rar Follow the flashing guide. For a modded GTX680M vBIOS please go here. P170EM_0404_Stock.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anos Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 UEFI is enabled by default...you may load setup defaults and safe and exit (UEFI gets disabled when switching to Win8 mode and then back), after that the F7 boot options should show the UEFI USB device... 1)Load default setting, save and reboot 2)F7, still no UEFI USB device detected nor UEFI label (defaul setting is UEFI: enabled, and OS: Others (win8/secureboot disabled) If i set OS to Win 8 (secureboot enabled), i can boot UEFI USB device, and install UEFI Linux or UEFI OSX, but on restart OS is not loaded because HDD is not showed anymore in boot setting (secureboot disable them). Please, check this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastnikita Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hi Prema, hope you're doing well.Could you please release the latest stock BIOS ?I'm especially thinking at w230st, that fan burst is driving me insane !As usual, many thanks for your time =)Clevo released the new 04 bios for W230ST today. Always something, but it will not have any new options, like Prema's mod's.Where did you find it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steberg Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 W230ST Bios 04, better yet, Bios 05EDIT: Links removedThis BIOS was released alongside a matching EC, which needs to be flashed first or it may end badly.The problem is that Clevos EC archive is missing an essential part...let me prepare an easy flash for everyone...

victortan001 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Prema, I've flashed the Stock BIOS & EC v1.00.05 for W230ST and the fans are much more managable now. Thank you for compiling it into a simple step by step instruction! However, there is tons of computer beeping when I'm in the bios, I'm curious to why it is beeping. Other than that, when I'm booted to Windows 8, it does not beep anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as it is unusual, I added the beep and remove PSU info for everyone into the updates readme...THX! I try re-install drivers, also i re-install new os with format hdd and i still have two options... Download the version for P170EM and try it...maybe an other driver (audio) needs to be installed before the THX setup... Is the Sager version out? Mine is already on Sager BIOS and I'm not sure if there's any significant difference between the versions on the W230ST.

lastnikita Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Cool =)One last question, your 05 bios version is only 4MB, while the one from clevo ftp is 6MB, do you happen to know the difference ?Cheers and thank you again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"OLD" ME firmware and will instead offer a separate flash with the latest ME soon...this allows me to push the more frequent ME updates independently from the less frequent BIOS/EC updates...

lonesyndal Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 In almost all cases the logo and naming is the sole difference to the Clevo version... I now remember why I despise the Clevo version.... "dat style note". I'll have to bear with it until your modded one comes out or when Sager releases their own version. Never had problems with flashing different vendors so shouldn't be an issue at all. EDIT: Oddly enough, my W230ST went up a full 8C since the BIOS update.I shall check if something is wrong since it used to idle 48-52C. EDIT2: So before, when running all 4 cores, I could achieve the 3.4GHz frequencies under all tests. Now I can only hit 3.0 GHz on 4 cores, but 3.4GHz on 1 active core. Not sure why this is... even with throttlestop forcing 34T multipliers, its still at 3.0GHz. Temperature issue fixed itself... its back at 52C. I guess when running on battery, the fans clearly dont give a damn. EDIT3: I might be switching back to my original BIOS... I want full control over all 4 cores again. EDIT4: Further testing, benchmark tools WILL NOT bring my cores to 3.39-3.4GHz. However, playing games and doing CPU intensive tasks that aren't benchmarking or CPU burn-ins will bring it to those values on 3-4 active cores... the hell? Someone answer ;P @Prema: You should kindly fix a version of the stock BIOS that doesn't have the cruddy Stylenote screen... I'll donate right away. Even a simple swap to a Sager screen would be nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_p Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hello prema, I have a couple of question about your bioses. Actually I have a P170em with a 3630qm, 8GB of 1866 corsair vengeance, a Crucial M4 256MB as primary and a 320GB as secondary, running W8 fine.My bios was 1.02.17 ans EC 1.02.12. I tried to update to you V2 bios K2/2T and couldn't manage to have it boot. Actually It seems that it cannot find the M4 SSD, and got BSOD.I think I tried all combinations of uefi, non uefi, ahci, ide mode... I have to revert to 1.02.17 stock that is working fine in ide mode, but this configuration is not working with your mod.Do you have any clue? I would be happy to run your bios for some reason, the unlocking of the BLK is one of them and more globally the XTU support.Thanks anyway for your work, clevo should retribute you for this work as it makes their laptop quite more enjoyable...
