    I installed Leshcat Labs Catalyst 12.x Jun12 UnifL (Rel/UP1) for Hybrid Graphics and I now have some new global options and a persistent historical list of application settings.

    It's great having global options based on power source and a full list of previous app settings however these drivers don't seem to help with the Enduro issues.

    Also Intel SG driver updated to 9.17.10.2792 which is a Windows 8 driver I believe but seems to work fine on 7:

    Awesome! and shame it didn't solve any issues with Enduro :S

    I have two questions:

    You did a clean install?
    Did or can you install 12.7 display driver on top of that?

    Thank you,
    Best Regards to all

    Yeah clean install using YaD’s UnifL Cleaner which is included with the driver.

    Not tried 12.7 driver only on top as yet.

    True but I haven't found it packaged for Win7 anywhere so I assume this must be a modded Win8 driver.

    You can't install a standard Intel driver.

    You need to install an Intel SG driver as part of a switchable package.

    That's a nice new CCC interface, but are there any performance increases or any other benefits other than the brand new CCC? I'm tempted to get this, but I'm already too used to the old one xP

    Why are you all trying to find it at Intel.com? You can't use a standard Intel driver.

    The benefits are listed in the OP.

    I just installed the package, and I have to say it looks nice so far. I haven't really tried it with much stuff yet, but I'm getting very playable framerates in Skyrim on Ultra. Having the power-aware option is a really nice touch.

    One thing to note: in Skyrim and the Dolphin emulator, the HD 4000 graphics in my machine are listed as Intel HD Graphics Adapter.

    Can anyone say what the performance of this drivers with Max Payne 3?
    I can't get a consistent performance with stock drivers. Most of the time remains in 60 fps, but constantly falls to 35-40 fps

    I took courage and installed drivers Leshcat labs...

    I have only tested the performance on Max Payne 3 (ultra settings: most of time 60+ fps, but some drops to 45 fps) and Dirt 3 (64 fps on ultra settings benchmark).
    However, the temperature increased slightly (around 75-80 while playing max payne 3)

    Good perfomance, significantly better than stock drivers, but still not a definitive solution to enduro...

    For now I'm happy with these drivers! thank you

    This is not the HP forum, this thread relates to Clevo EM models using Enduro. This may or may not be useful for your machine. The OP was attempting to share a useful version of CCC which may help with problems some users are having.
    I suggest you read the thread, and keep the rude comments to yourself.

    EDIT: Sorry guys, this issue sorted by mods while I was typing

    I realized now. With these drivers, press fn + 1 set vent fans to max speed! that´s really nice ;)

    These drivers enabled the Fn+1 function?! Can others confirm? I'm really tempted to give these a try especially if this is true.

    It worked with my Sager np9170.

    First I made total uninstall of stock drivers: uninstalling + driver sweeper in safe mode

    After I installed the drivers following the steps which are shown in the program. When given the option to choose between two drivers from intel, I got the newest.

    These drivers improved performance in max payne 3 and dirt 3, and enabled fn + 1 function.

    However, I did not like the performance Skyrim. The FPS always remain high (almost always 60 FPS - stock drivers get around 50-55 fps).

    But some strange bugs occur, with some flashes and artifacts. So So I went back to stock drivers.

    But I will test modded leshcatlabs drivers based on 12.6 official, because i only tested the modded drivers based on 12.7 beta.

    It seems that something is not making ccc to start because it seems that you are able to install drivers but ccc not working. Can you try disable the service and restarted the service from windows services in control panel?. Also download registry cleaner and run it and make sure you download and driver from clevo website

    Wow I might consider doing this driver if that Fn + 1 max fan speed thing really works. Only thing is that FN+1 disables the touch pad right now. I actually use that function. I'm assuming that the new driver somehow overrites that hotkey combo?? I'm fine with that so long as I can disable the touch pad a different way. Anyone else had any luck with the FN+1 max fan speed on their np9170/p170em?

    Fn+1 isn't Fn+ F1
