    HIDevolution is the best. See how awesome their warranty is for international customers provided you choose the global warranty not the standard one: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/hidevolutions-warranty.784735/

    With the Prema BIOS, just choose XMP Profile 1 then save and exit and it would run your RAM at its advertised speed.

    PS: you didn't get the NBR member discount because you don't have a lot of posts. I don't know what is the minimum required post count to be eligible for the additional discount though

    It's like the lottery. You have to get in it to win it. It's not like asking for the blood of your first born.

    Hi Viw,

    I could not answer you 100% because my machine is not already in my hands, a lot of trouble with this order, My machine was stole in US before the shipping ! So I'm waiting a new one, with Kaby lake CPU now.

    This is strange but this is the second time I'm purshasing a Clevo machine, one from XMG (Schenker) and this one from HID, both have been stolen at the firsst shipping ....

    Never mind I'm preatty sure the invoice is from UK because you don't have to paid import taxe from US and you have only UK informatique base taxe to paid !

    The reason support told you not to install CCC is by default, it also installs the built in Intel XTU overclocking feature which messes up the fan tables and makes them randomly spin loud for no reason.

    You can however install the latest version via the Obsidian Tool, just select your laptop model then your Wifi Card (Intel or Killer) then go to the 2nd tab to install the missing CCC and easily update any old driver. The Obsidian Tool installs CCC without the built in XTU Overclocking tool so it doesn't mess up your fan table

    The Prema BIOS will be available soon once Prema makes it so don't worry, HIDevolution will remote flash it for you

    If you're online now, I'll send you a PM so I can help you with the headphone jack issue.
