sanji Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 running windows 8.1, after installing prema mod (everything works fine) ive been unable to access the uefi bios with F2 at startup, before I installed the mod I could get to it this way :/ Now I have to use shift/restart from within windows to access the bios... It's no biggie but if my os ever dies I'll have no way of getting into the bios to fix it :SAny ideas of settings which might have been changed to cause this? thanks (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanji Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 This hasn't really gone anywhere and it's not really a big deal for now but I do have another unrelated question, I have the GTX 880m , and with the stock vbios I'm not reaching anywhere near the advertised clock speeds... nvidiaInspector says I'm getting a max core clock of 875MHz, and GPU-Z says "perfcap - Pwr". I bought this laptop from PC Specialists with a 180W psu, but surely they would have taken the power supply into account when they bundled it with an 880m laptop?!

Guest Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 In UEFI mode F2 still works we just need to push it faster as the boot time is very fast.The 880M should be shipped with the 220W PSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanji Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks Prema, If it means anything I think I found out my original problem. I had my bios set to "legacy" mode, so I could reach safemode with F8 (I found it really stupid that I had to be able to access windows before I could restart in safemode) But after searching google further I found that legacy mode is causing people to be unable to access Bios at post... So now I have a choice of no BIOS access at startup, or no Safemode access at startup... hmm.. So it was completely unrelated to your mod anyways, just a coincidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanji Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Also, Sorry to post another question here, I just find it better than making hundreds of threads (:I've installed a vBios mod for the 880m, and it's all great! the pwr throttling mentioned above is all gone! But I do have one question, and I don't know whether it would be better posting here (since it's a clevo related problem) or in the vBios thread.. but anyways - I've done a mild overclock of +62MHz core and +157MHz Memory, while still keeping at stock voltage, and when gaming my temps rise slowly to 90C, at which point the GPU fan turns up to max and the temps drop to 82C again... 82C is perfectly great, but 90C is a bit high for me...My question is, are there any ways to force the GPU fan to max out at 82C rather than 90C? It seems pointless having it max at 90 only to drop again... I've tried speedfan and HWmonitor but neither CPU or GPU fan shows up :/ Is this a vBios issue or a clevo/bios issue?

Guest Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Select the cool FAN EC during the Mod installation. If you are already using it then that's how Clevo has intended it and I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejjjaaaa Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I have a related question - just installed some 8.1 windows update and my Clevo P150SM-A does not show Prema logo on boot... I tried to press F2 or F2 when switching power off, but still can't get to bios... computer itself is switching on, fans are working, keyboard is illuminated by blue light , but it seems there is no sigmal going to LCD (???) and I can't get into BIOS/no Prema BIOS logo... any idea what is happening ? thank yoiu !
