Clevo Bios Mods

[jigglywigglyx]

@BSF31, Prema did a hybrid BIOS with CPU microcode from bios .06 and implemented that into .14 bios, and he also changed the turbo boost settings, so that the CPU turbo boosted longer, giving a welcome performance increase. I also had the 2720QM ES.

Yeah prema has the stuff, I think the best version was not that version though.
Just the old bios with increased TDP.

If there was a way to dump my BIOS, I'd give it to you, it performs really well.

I have a Sager NP8130 with 2620QM and 560M. When do I need to use a modded BIOS for this machine?

When? Just for increased TDP so turbo lasts longer.

Does this affect also the non-ES CPUs? I reckon that you are using an ES CPU.

I wonder if Prema has a mod for the P170Em equipped with a 2860Qm, that cpu can boost all 4 cores to ~3.8Ghz I'm wondering if I can keep it up there for longer.

Too many things going on right now...give it some more time...

@Prema

Can you help me with my question?

[Prema]

Oh sorry Kevin, didn't see your question!

YES, the TDP & time limits work for all cpus that throttle too early (before reaching high temps = 90c+).

fingers crossed mate take your time, I know you have a trick or two up your sleeve.

No problem

So how do I know if my CPU is considered throttling? Can you help me test it? Do you have a modded BIOS for the latest BIOS version of the Sager NP8130?

I have the below firmware info. I have an i7-Q2760QM and a Geforce GT555M.
Can someone help me with a unlocked firmware and a full procedure/guide on how to flash it. As I don't want to brink my lappy.
Is there any newer firmware available as well?

Thx
