I'm fairly new to the clevo scene and I'm very overwhelmed by how many providers there. Are there any providers out there that want to help make me a first time customer? I'm looking for these specs:
P775DM3-G
17inch 1080p
i7 6700k
No RAM
GTX 1080
No drives
No OS
Dead Pixel guarantee (30 days)
Intel 8260 wifi
2 Year Warranty
Mods, if this is the wrong place for this thread I apologize!

Next recommendation I recommend is LPC Digital
Beware that if you don't buy your system from a Prema Partner, it would come with the stock BIOS which is extremely limited in terms of options/configuration and no overclocking at all so you will have to use XTU which is a big no no on Clevo systems as it messes up the fan tables and make them randomly spin a full blast even when idle.
HIDevolution give you the Prema BIOS/VBIOS for free and is covered under warranty
Benefits of Prema BIOS:
- The ability to disable other drives connected to your system without physically removing them from your laptop, this comes in handy when installing Windows as you never want to have more than one drive connected at the time you are installing Windows otherwise the Windows setup will place the boot files on the 2nd drive it sees which hurts performance and makes it a headache when creating system images or restoring since the boot files are not on the main drive.
- The ability to overclock, increase Turbo Power Limits and System IA/Core Current Limits
- The ability to enable Intel Speed Shift Technology (it is disabled in the stock BIOS)
- The ability to run RAM with speeds higher than the standard 2133 MHz. I am not talking about overclocking here, I am talking about actual RAM sticks that are rated to run at 2800 MHz for example like the G.Skill 64GB 2800 MHz kit I have. With the stock BIOS, they will not run above 2400 MHz. In the case of the P870DM3, the stock BIOS now supports up to 2666 MHz. I believe but not more, so the Prema BIOS is a must again
- The ability to enable CSM for those who want to install other OSes like Windows 7
- The ability to undervolt the CPU as the stock voltage is way too high which causes the CPU to overheat much quicker and thus throttle under load.
- The ability to enable or disable CPU AES instructions or Virtualization
- The ability to disable hibernation from the BIOS
Benefits of Prema VBIOS:
- Power throttle disabled
- Over-voltage slider enabled and adjusted (up to a maximum of 1.2v)
- Activated and adjusted thermal slider (to keep it cooler if desired)
- Core overclock slider limit raised
- Power consumption meter activated
- Fixed 3D voltage base-line in order to stabilize OCs and voltage-match both cards in SLI systems (based on average ASIC)
- Thermal protection @ 92c (once*91c are breached the system throttles volts and clocks in order to protect it)
- Protection against Furmark and Kombustor GPU burnout (AVOID those software even with stock vBIOS)!
