Clevo Bios Mods

[mgibim]

We can fix new values for Turbo Time Limits, short & long TDP, memory speeds etc...so ideally we are able to keep the CPU (normal & XM) in turbo mode forever without any throttle.
But only to fixed values...not able to unlock BIOS options, yet.
So we can only make a custom BIOS for each persons needs, nothing that you would want to pop up on the net as one persons safe values may fry an others Notebook.

Drop me a PM, if you want to join the effort.

Hey Prema I also have a W150HRM with I7 2630QM, 8GB DDR3 1333, GT555M.

Could you help me achieve the 'turbo mode forever'?

I apologize for my bad english. Brazilian user here.

Clevo restricts D0 stepping ES perf in later bios.

For P150hm, you need to go back to version 1.01.06.
For P170HM, it is version 1.01.02 which fits D0 es2.

Since you have a Sager machine, you should not flash clevo bios.
Instead, ask sager techsupport for a sager version 1.01.06 mainboard bios.

Aite so get that bios, then post it here, and then one of you lovely chaps mod it and flash?

EDIT: Wait I just looked at the changelog, and one of the changes after .06 is support for a 560m I have one D:

So even if the tdp value is changed with a newer version of the BIOS I would still be forced to 2.2 ghz?
if so, that sounds like I am SOL. and I don't got le dosh for a new cpu, d'aw.
Is 1.06 the absolute latest? Not 1.11 where 560m support was added? I don't want to flash 1.06 and then end up with a brick...

Though theoritically if I got like a 2760qm QS(qualification sample) that wouldn't be a D0 would it? QS are exactly same as OEM correct?

QS is D1 or D2 stepping.
OEM is D2.
ES2 is D0.

RELAX! You will be good either way! Do the updates as they told you so you have the correct EC base & check your PM in a few minutes

So Prema, you mean with the latest BIOS that sager sent to me correct? Not the old 1.06 right? Just making sure.

[Prema]

YES!

And just to make sure you know how to make a bootable flash drive, right?!

Please send me your untouched bios and if you know what you want your TDP values of choice (you need 5 posts to PM or be PMed)

i usually use the hp flash utility

[jigglywigglyx]

Just flashed, but the performance is the same, still throttles to 2.2ghz. According to throttle stop, TDP never gets past 55watts.

THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED OR SOMEONE SAID, IT IS OF PURE PREVENTIVE NATURE!

FOR EVERYONE. I DIDN`T OFFER TO MAKE CUSTOM BIOS FOR THE MASSES!

I will however try to help a few people as my time permits, granted that you guys know what you are doing.
But, neither can I walk each one through the flashing process, nor find out the perfect values for individual setups, that is your job.

So if you have no clue what this is about, if you don`t know if you have a Sager or a Clevo bios, how to flash it, how to run tests and determine safe values for your configuration, then either inform yourself properly or leave it.

I am sure resellers are watching this thread with horror in their eyes, just waiting for the call of the first DUDE, who flashed or burned his baby to dust and wants to RMA it.
I love to help you guys, but i don`t want anybody to lose their precious toy!
