Official Coffee Lake Refresh Thread/BIOS for ALL Clevo Laptops - RTX CARDS NOW SUPPORTED

Thanks you are the best !!!

 

The update bios broke raid with hdd sata

 

I've confirmed it on two P870DM-G's that UEFI disabled really makes the systems go sideways.

1. Flashing, blinking BIOS menus that can and will freeze
2. Suddenly GPU isn't detected or you get two short beeps followed by continuous single beeps and a black screen on power up.

If you get 1, you can at least sometimes enable UEFI mode to get things back again.
If you get 2, a manual flash is required (again).

Also 980 desktop is still detected as "unknown" in BIOS and secondary fan may require manual fan control.
I finally had a chance to test a 980m and 970m. They are detected properly.

I downsized to a 970m in my personal unit to free up the secondary slot for flash fixes/testing cards that cross my way and working on an enhanced CPU cooling project.
Everything is running right as rain. With the beefy P870DM primary GPU heatsink/fan, 970m tops out at like 63 running Superposition extreme so
the system is ridiculously quiet when gaming now (Diablo 3 and WoW). Maybe a few years from now I'll throw in a 1060/1070.

 

Link updated. Do not flash TM_TM1 to DM2_DM3.

 

I got a P775DM3-G with a 8700k and a 1080 and i had the rtx BIOS from TM1 flashed (the old bios). Which should I flash?
P7xxDMx_RTX.rom?

 

Flash latest P7xxDM2_DM3_B0726.rom

 

Does that BIOS support RTX and GTX?
BTW there isn't a file with that name in the BIOS FILES folder. Only: P7xxTM1_B0724.rom

And according to the excel that isn't the one I should flash be the previous one I told u and asked about. (I even re-downloaded the file in OP to make sure I was up to date) as you can see here:

Guys,
I have shooted dsanke's bios in my backup laptop - p775dm3, and I have found out some piece of good news I used to have the chi-mei 1080p 120hz, which never worked with gsync, however it is a gsync display. The same used in the MSI gt73/gt75. I assume when the first 775tm1 came out, there was no ips 144hz, so they launched with this chimei display. After the new bios and screen replacement, gsync came up! Amazing. I have made some quick tests with my silicon lottery 8600k and wow! I have pretty good result, I will show you later! PRetty amazed!

 

Nice, the 120hz 1440p panel never was certified but the gpu must have been ready.

 

Anyone know where the U15 chip is located in the P750DM2G board? I found U16 easily, but U15 (EC2) is proving difficult to track down. I can't find any Boardview files for this machine, which would likely help.

 

Directly under the keyboard I believe

 

I found U16 under there, but U15 is hiding from me. I wondered if I really need to pull more off than just the keyboard for this particular chip - U16 is nicely exposed after just removing the keyboard.

 

You need to remove the whole chassis to view it. Yep, it's a pain in the ass to access

 

Update for P7xxDM2/DM3/TM/TM1:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qZMwHmjM0LGMfEb0eD2jqGYRsEtkVWXf

Sync Clevo official version 1.07.27.
Do not flash my provided TM_TM1 to DM2_DM3.

Changes from Clevo official version:
Unlock all options
DRAM SPD write protection disabled

I don't know what Clevo updates.

 

So which one should I reflash? I did flash the previous posted one by dsanke lol

 

If you do not know , then you just stay your current BIOS ,do not flash anything to your device.

 

The version you posted in your previous post is running great. No issues of any kind and the fan tables seem to be smoother than the previous first. So far so good

 

The former P870TM/DM3/DM2 1.07.15 (I named RTX for them) should support 128GB RAM ,is there someone tested?

Uploaded all BIOS with patched for 128GB RAM support : https://drive.google.com/file/d/16bVQWbQmwPUvbRt0S4V6Avrdv86UqAsw/view?usp=sharing

 

the p775dm3 is also compatible 128GB ram

 

I don't know whether it can support or not , I need someone test and tell me result.

Edit: I received the result , it works.
CPU is 9900K.
P7xxTM ,with ME FW 11.8, everything is OK.
P7xxDM2 ,with ME FW 11.6 , post time is very long , and ME FW shows 0.0.0.0 in BIOS , but MEInfo shows CurrentState is Normal.
P7xxDM2 ,with ME FW 11.8 Alt Disabled, everything is OK.
Seems ME FW 11.6 has compatible problem with 128G RAM.
It's hard to use ME FW 11.8 and CFL CPU in a Z170, especially for Clevo , which will force device shutdown when set ME to Alt Disable Mode, I must bypass this verification.

 

Thanks you guy !

 

The BIOS 1.07.27 for P775DM3-G (modded from TM1) also supports 128Gb of ram?

Edit: I see someone asked already. Hopefuly someone can test and provide a positive result

 

Question between . . . for future Hardware Upgrade on P750DM(non-G)/ P751DM(non-G) are the Linked Bios-0s in this thread are Compatible to Pascall and CoffeeLake ( ES) ?

Example I7-8700-ES and GTX1070 ( Deskmini or Zotac version with normal-normal MXM-3.0B format ;-)

Good Luck @ all !

 

Bug with nvme raid bios version 1.07.27

Nvme ssd not recognized in intel Irts menu but the hdd work great. @dsanke

Édit : without my 2 hdd only the ssd nvme the IRST menu detects no disk but without raid mode my ssd are detected.

Édit 2: I go back to the 1.07.26 version and my ssd are visible so the version of bios 1.07.27 has a problem with the IRST nvme.

My laptop is a p775dm3.

 

Édit 3 : i found the problem with irst bios 1.07.27
Pcie storage dev on port 9 and 17 is no rst controled wowever with 1.07.26 is rst controled (view last picture)

My raid 0 nvme work again !!!

 

Here are the 1.07.26 for DM2/DM3/TM/TM1 with modified 128G RAM support:

Hello friends. Can you share what software you use to edit BIOS? Thank.

 

Hah... Ask factory.. No chance if anyone share this files..

Hello . . . tested P7xxDM.rom for p751dm with i7-6700t-gtx980m . . . result with programmer it worked !

But . . . have to .inf modding nvidia-driver is it normal - sadly the power with ac-adapter plugt in cause an restart .

Question . . . mean hat read ( dont know where hopefull here in forum, maybe someman knows the thread) that poweroff-restart goes away by install a Gen-8/9 cpu . . . thats right ?

Will Install a gen8 i7 EnergizerSample

Yes. Doesn't matter if is es or qs or oem. If is okay must work.

Hi everyone
I owned a Origin P870KM1-G it is possible to upgrade BIOS?

 

Could somebody measure the height of the 9900k chip please including the stock IHS.

I am coming from a 7700k to a 9900k and i have a 1 piece GPU / CPU W/C heatsink, so i need to know if there is a height difference between the 2 and if so how much

 

which machine do you sport?

i also have a unified heatsink in my machine and didnt experience any troubles switching from my previous 7700k to my current 9900k

It's a KM1 with a custom watercooled heatsink block from China for the 1080's and CPU

 

ha sweet i also had a 5.2 rated 7700K and was able to run it at 4.8 Ghz 24/7 (benching at 5.1 ghz, cpu-z validation at 5.4) hows the watercooled heatsink block working for ya?

i dont think you will have any troubles switching to the 9900K

 

Hey mate, it cools the 7700k really well.
Hopefully not, I'm going to get one soon =)
Just worried about the IHS height difference between the 7700k vs 9900k

 

9900k is 0.4mm taller from memory. I will have a look through old posts from Nov last year to check, I think Derba8er also mentioned this in one of his YouTube videos

The stock heatsink with its spring tension went on no problem

 

Just FYI on the P870KM1-G. 3k 120hz panel dual gtx 1080s in SLI

I got G-Sync back up and working.
Noticed...The bios for the 1080s is not 100%

-doesn't read the clocks right from the i9-9900kf correctly
-doesn't seem to be able to read XMP2 profiles
-g-sync does not work
-TJ-max is suck at 100c

I used the 2080 bios
-i9-9900 kf clocks read correctly.
-I haven't tested the XMP2 profiles yet
(Xmp1 work fine on both for OC ram)
-g-sync fully functional just as stock
-TJ-Max adjustable to 115c

so I didn't exactly follow the instructions on page 1. to the letter for flashing.
WARNING This is just a theory I don't intend to cause any damage to anyone system but it worked for me.

After reading through ALL the convos over the course of a few days in this thread, it seems like people have trouble mostly when flashing the 2080 BIOS on the P870KM1 and/or G over the 1080. Ending up needing to direct flash the BIOS chip with an SPI programmer...

When I flashed I removed nothing other than external peripherals.

-UEFI mode (vs legacy might matter I don't know)
-Battery left in
-Drives left in (raid-0 2x nvme 960s and single HP nvme) 1 Samsung 860 Evo and a spinner data drive.

I spent the extra money and bought the SPI programmer and adapter. Never came out of the box.

-I put all the crap on the USB
-Rebooted to the BIOS look for the USB to boot from before the drives.
-ran the command to clear and set fans to high speed it reboots
-after reboots fans are still on high at which time you type in the command to flash the BIOS.
-when it is done I took a picture of it with my phone. Held the power button down until the system shut off.
-took the CMOS battery OUT
-With the CMOS battery out and booted the system
-waited about five minutes for it to collect its barrings
-when you finally get the blue message saying that I can't find the battery and things have been reset
-hold down the power button until the system shuts off
-pop the CMOS battery back in
-start the system immediately press at F2 to get in the bios and tweak what was needed.

I use the same process with the custom 1080 bios and when I flashed from custom 1080 to the custom 2080.

I'm curious if folks aren't waiting long enough to see if the system will post? After the flash it took a good 5+ minutes of it being weird with a black screen for its come up with the blue message.

Or if it might be an issue with the vBIOS. I did flash stock files provided by PREMA on is website.

Take all this with a grain of salt this was just one man's experience. But since I haven't seen this procedure covered I figured I would bring it up.

@KKthebeast so you flashed the vBios of the 2080 in the 1080? Kinda stupid move.. Don't mix vBios for GPU's. Also i don't have any issues in my 1080 with 8700k (different laptop i know but still)

 

as far as i can see, he flashed the sbios for the 2080 machine but used stock vbios for his 1080s...

Eheh I know! All good my friend

 

Hmm thanks bud, 0.4mm would mess with my heatsink as i have already had this propblem when using the bitspower IHS which was an extra 0.4mm.

Do you think it's possible to lap 0.4mm off?

 

sure, dont see why not. but how was it messing with your heatsink? did u notice temps worsening? and weird that it didnt affect anything in my case...

 

Are you using the big copper all in one water cooling hestsink from the seller in China on tabao, same size as the vapour chamber but much heavier

Basically 2 huge slabs of copper, with a water cooling channel?
