Clevo BIOS Thread

[apex109]

Anyone have the W80CU/NP8690 link yet? I know it's new and probably not revised, but seeing as how it's apparently hard to get a download link I'd like to have a copy handy. I can host it as well, if we can get a copy of it.

Seconding this.... I need to re-flash my BIOS on my W80CU... but I can't find the original! Can anybody help?

Ask your vendor.

Any info on what the changes in this BIOS are over 216 LS1 for the 8662?

Is it worth it to update it if you're having no noticeable issues?

Are we oc'able now, or is that never gonna happen?

Have a look at this:
http://www.eurocom.com/support/drive...860tu_bios.htm

...but I think, EC Firmware should not be 1.00.12... on my M860TU (bought in 10/09) it´s 1.00.13 with Bios 1.02.16

By the way, have you tried the new bios? Any differences to the previous ver.?

There is a similar one for the M570TU, but I fear that if we use their website too much it might get blocked just like Clevo's BIOS support.

@Blacky: Do you also have an "ES"(=Engineering Sample?) after your P9700 in Specification in CPU-Z64_1.52.
Or what does the "ES" mean?

...clevo blocked... what a pity... perhaps somebody will make a "mirror"...

[Blacky]

Yes, I have a P9700 Engineering Sample.

@Blacky: Thanks for reply.
Do you know the difference between ES and "non-ES"? Any disadvantages?

ES CPUs tend to have their multipliers unlocked.
ES CPUs have no warranty from Intel and are not meant to be available to the general public.

Thanx to Intel's monopoly on the notebook CPU market, Non-ES CPUs cost an arm and a leg.

Ask your vendor.

I have asked my vendor... and they've sent me the BIOS, however apparently the bios they've sent me does not include the original "firmware" that I need. You see, I've flashed the incorrect BIOS image on my laptop, and now it's behaving abnormally....

If anybody wants just the BIOS that I've been sent, I can host it... but what I'm really looking for is the W860CU BIOS *and* firmware download. Otherwise my laptop is more like a $3000 brick, it seems.
