Guest Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Super noob back with a couple more questions. Just got the modded bios from rapidshare. Do i need to change anything in the fparts file or do i leave it as is? And how recommended is it that i flash from 1.02.xx to your supplied stock bios? (I just don't want to screw things up some how xD). Last question, do i need to reinstall windows after flashing the bios or is it fine to keep my current installation? I know I'm probably asking loads of stupid questions but it's my first time at this and just want it to go well. (To note, i have win7 installed on a mSATA SSD rather than a HDD incase that has implications). Just flash the latest Mod version, the only reason I have made stock BIOS available is that some people need it for warranty purposes. First make notes of relevant current BIOS settings like OS select (Win8 or 'other'), 'UEFI' and maybe 'boot device order' and repeat those settings after the new BIOS is flashed. There is also readme file included in every Mod, just follow each step and you will be fine. I currently own the "W350ST". Can I use the BIOS you're sporting for the W350ET on this machine? I would like to set my own fan control parameters as there doesn't appear to be any logical pattern currently. The CPU will happily hit 95 Celsius before the fan spins up to it's max speed, The CPU can be at 100% utilization and still the fan will not kick in till it's throttling time. I've managed to play around with VBios settings getting a far greater GPU overclock using the Kepler BIOS tweaker but it appears that the CPU is the main threat cause the TDP of the heatsink can't handle the 4700mq. If your current BIOS for the "W350ET" works just as well then that'll do great! Otherwise is there any tools out there I can use to modify the existing BIOS from this page here: W35xST/W37xST Series ??? Thanks in advance Nope we can't crossflash a W350ST to W350ET, they are entirely different models. A W350ST Mod will come in due time...

In your case that would be v3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero.EXE Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Your BIOS is GODLY!! Thank you so much for its creation. My temps are down a lot with this mod. Ran fur mark and temps took ages to break 70C with my 680m (with OC!). The CPU is cooler too, ran TS Bench n the highest temp was core 3 at 79C on the 32M run, interestingly my lowest temp was on core 1 was 69C, i sense something off with the cooling there. How do you adjust the BCLK btw? I didnt see it in the BIOS menu at all but i am using a p150em w/ i7-3630qm (1 below your allowed OCing but thought BCLK/RAM timings would still be available). Im enjoying the new BIOS. Whats the highest stable BCLK anyone's got to for OCing? I get 104.88MHz with my 3630qm which knocks it up from 3.2GHz to 3.35GHz. CPU-Z proof =) ¦ v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin2free Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Copy that,So i can use the latest V3 (non Ram OC) version and i will be fineid like to oc the memory but seems i wont be able to :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crotonic Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 The 1.03.xx BIOS for P570WM enables IV-E support, if people downgrade to old stock or Mod version it simply won't boot anymore as those don't support the new CPUs.Also certain downgrades have been proven to brick Clevo systems in the past, so it's not recommended in general even with stock BIOS and has nothing to do with the Mod in particular.As of now 1.03 is not relevant for anyone except P570WMx user that have an IV-E, they can not downgrade to an older BIOS. For others I would suggest doing it...I should have mentioned I have a W230ST based NP7330 with a 4700MQ running Windows 7. What is the risk to my system of going from 1.03.02 to your custom BIOS/EC (download name: W230ST_05_05_PM1.rar)? Do you know anyone who has tried this? Thank you for the info!

ldkv Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hi Prema,Do you have any plan to release the v2 mod for W230ST (with BIOS .06) ?I am currently using the stock 06_05 on your site, can I flash your v1 mod (which is 05_05) safely? Is that considered as a downgrade ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiggy Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hi Prema,I am very excited to see your modified BIOS version, but I do not see my laptop in your posts. I own the following system:PCSPECIALIST - 3711 Laptops, 3711 Gaming Laptops, Build Your Own 3711 LaptopPlease advise, I am going to donate too.

When I tried maxing out my ivy bridge I found that I lose my dGPU over like 103MHz. I might drop PCI-E down to 2.0 (doable with a registry edit) for testing but I haven't bothered.

locking86 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hi my clevo is a P15xEMx. I should use the P151 or the P150? or none of than?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero.EXE Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Interestingly its my iGPU that packs up first, tried adjusting its multi for a bit of fun (and possibly improved dGPU throughput? You know, cos its wired weird) and it froze up instantly, stable at 105.0616MHz reference clock (actual clock is around 104.8), no higher, i get a couple of seconds shaved off bench times so its all good, only worth about 1 frame more in games at best though xD. I also need to check the cooling job on my cpu because core temps have around a 10C discrepancy between core 1 and core 2/3. Also OC'e my RAM to 1961MHz! (With increase in cycle times however) - - - Updated - - - Hi my clevo is a P15xEMx. I should use the P151 or the P150? or none of than?Thanks in advance Mine is reported as a p15xEMx too.

Zero.EXE Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Happy to report I have my BCLK up to 106.53 stable. Turns out it was my RAM not my iGPU. I reduced the multi on the RAM and turned the BLCK up more and it was fine. My system drops the dGPU around 107 so that's a no go sadly. But i have my 3630qm running at 3.4GHz as standard now xD. My RAM speed is 1920MHz now instead which is only a small difference. Truly awesome BIOS for unlocking the computer's potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I already answered your question. You can directly use the mod.An update is going from a lower version number to a higher one.A downgrade goes from a higher version number to a lower.If you downgrade to v1.00.04 you kill your system!

trias10 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hi Prema, cheers for the latest release of the W230ST v1.1 BIOS! May I ask if you tested the HDD password with this release? Were you able to get the mSATA drives to become password protected? I remember that the v1 BIOS were only able to protect the regular 2.5in SATA drive, not the mSATA ones.

Guest Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 HDD pass is limited to main drive bay on all BIOS, doesn't matter what it is HDD/SSD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk00t3r Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Not sure how I did not find this site sooner. I cant wait to mod my bios.

Q56_Monster Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Looking to upgrade my Sager NP9280 (Clevo D900F). I too never knew about this site. Followed my friend Johnksss here If I'm successful in acquiring a new Sager/Clevo, I'll be testing some of your BIOS, Prema. Thanks for the work you put into these.
