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

I'm still having issues with my 870TM1. I upgraded the bios susussefully to install a i9-9900k to replace my -7 -8700k. like a dummy i sold my 8700k before installing the i9. when i installed the i9 the system would just power on and overheat really quickly and shut down. i thought it was the processor and the bios settings so i went out and brought a cheap i3 to run the pc and changed the bios settings. i think when i first installed the i9 i blew out my video card because i now get a bunch of lines on the screen and the video card memory doesn't show up in cpu-z or gpu-z. and in windows it says the 1070 has a driver issue when i didn't even upgrade the drivers. i cleared the cmos removed the 1070 and when i do that it won't boot. when i put back the 1070 it boots with the lines on the screen and the resloution is stuck at 4k. i can't change the resoultion and it doesn't reconigize the intergrated graphics card in the i3 9100. i went out and brought another i3 9100f to see if it was just and issue with the i3 but same problem. i'm typying on the pc now but i can't get the video card to work properly and none of the video ports work (hdmi,dvi) i went into the bios and turned on the intergrated graphics when i have the i3 9100 installed but then it doesn't boot even if i clear the cmos and remove the battery. the only time it boots is when i have the 1070 installed. the i3-9100 boot swith the 1070 but with the display issue. the i-9 boots with the display issue but powers off within 2 mintues and the i3 9100f boots with the display issue. if i remove the 1070 it won't boot even when i reset it both the regular way and by removing the cmos battery. i will upload pictures and video if anyone can advise/help. i posted earlier for help but i figured that the i3 would solve this issue since if the video card was bad i could run off the intergrated graphics. It makes no sense to me why even when i clear the cmos and reset the bios is still have issues no matter what processor i used. when i upgraded the bios before trying to install the i9 the i7 8600k was working fine with the new bios with no issues. at the time the video card bios was at a version to support the new bios and i even upgraded the video card bios on the 1070 but i stilol have the display issue, I'm still kicking myself for selling the -7 8700k before making sure eveything worked.

 

The IGP is not powered.

 

Powered? The i7 8700k had the intergated graphics also. There was no extra cable or power going to it. I have all the same wires connected. Is there something i'm missing ?

 

It's more that there are no power phases for the IGP present on the motherboard.

 

so how could the i7 8700k graphic work. does the 9th gen intel need something different?

 

Have never worked. It's impossible.

 

No power goes for it, so it's impossible for it to work

 

No. Don't mess with the EC. Don't flash anything to it. If you hardbrick a EC chip you might need to buy a new motherboard to get a new one working

 

i don't understand the answrs my i7-8700k always worked and both the 1070 and intergrated graphics worked before. Why would intergated graphics need any extra power.

 

Please listening... iGPU don't function in the Clevo LGA powered notebooks. That's it.

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/voltage_regulator_module

 

P8xx series and P7xx and new X170SM don't have voltage to iGPU afaik

 

That is correct. It is not connected to anything. It's just sitting there and wasting space under the CPU die. It has no functionality. As far as I know there has never been a Clevo with a desktop CPU that had functional Intel HD Graphics. That is one of the things that makes them desirable.

 

Yea, but i wish the intel hd works, can be very helpfull if we doing some stuffs in bios of gpu and if goes wrong there we can use the integrated and make a recovery

 

Get another model then. Not a P8, P7 or a X170 lol

 

What you say is true, but it ignores the underlying reasons for it.

The people that buy these machines generally do so because they prefer how they are designed and the advantages require compromises are not compelling enough for them to be viewed as tolerable tradeoffs.

 

Lol.

Nah, i will not search another model because that.
I only search good business
I won this clevo because that, it was a good business.
I buy it for 600€ with i5 6600k and gtx 1070
I had a desktop with i7 6700k with gtx 1070.
I change the cpus (put i7 on clevo and i5 on desktop) and sold the desktop for 750€
Now i buy a 8700 for 180€, make the ugrade and will sell the 6700k for 140€/130€
=)

 

Indeed, if you want the iGPU/Optimus ability you'll need the tamer BGA models like PB71DF2-G perhaps? But is it worth losing CPU/GPU upgradability, CPU overclocking potential, etc? Only you can decide.

 

For me it's a simple NO, it's not worth it

 

I wish to push it to 19000k, but almost

 

My P775DM3-G is almost at 20k:

https://www.3dmark.com/fs/21452716

Almost there lol

 

Nice! You can make it over 20k if you really want. Is your 1080 vbios modified with TDP tweaker?

 

Nah, don't have a flasher to flash a modified one. I'd love to but currently I don't own one. And my cpu isn't delieded yet too since it's in warranty and I don't wanna void it

 

Worth getting 2080 for P775dm3-g?

 

Waiting for the RTX 2080 Super instead
If you wanna order one for you my advice would be to order from Eurocom on Ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Clevo-P775...-/113656729019?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

That seller is Eurocom

 

You can still grab some points from your 8700K https://www.3dmark.com/fs/19279462

 

Just to end the offtopic here but yeah, my physics score is a bit off compared to yours

Will check it later but right now the machine is working great ehhehe

 

Got the old sound quality back by installing a custom driver and soundblaster x720 app.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B-gGCrMdQwFTFNm7N7px3fRkNPXZSLUW/view

Had to disable enforce driver certificate in advanced restart options.
Also have to completely uninstall the soundblaster xifi mb5 app and the old realtek drivers (and anything realtek sound related) via device manager, then let windows auto install a second realtek/Microsoft audio driver upon restart.
Install the custom driver via the have disk option and then the x720 app to get the old audio quality.
Profiles are back ! Different interface on the new app though.
Update: delete the creative folder from program files after uninstalling mb5.

 

Just an update for you guys, I know it's been a while (quite a long time) but I've got an update regarding people who have audio issues with P775TM/TM1 laptops, especially muffled audio or audio without any bass.

@Kunal Shrivastava found a potential fix which I have added to the original thread. Thank you very much bro

Hope this helps someone

 

Thanks for that, although highliting a couple of things here:
1) The audio breaks after entering standby(bug) , so make sure the close lid behaviour is changed to shut down.
2) There's a setting within the app to set the speaker configuration to integrated speakers-it's set to desktop speakers by default and the sound is distorted, changing it to integrated fixes this.
3) Fix should work for all PCs running Microsoft HD/Realtek HD sound drivers.
4) YouTube audio was echoey until I realized sound environment is set to reverb in the default profile, so disable that unless you like stageshows
5) Sound is identical to XiFi Mb5 in both loudness and separation.
Enjoy the return of sound profiles!

 

I intend to add iGPU power phase in P751DM. I might have all the missing components except the MOSFET driver.
However after some driver install it got screwed the lighbar option from backlit app, I wonder how the system BIOS will work with the iGPU powered? Is there a chance of breaking something else which is kind of unfixable?
Still I am not sure where the lightbar option is in the machine, is it in the main or second EC or both? Or in the PCH?

 

Hey Man, what a new laptop you have X170 with 1070? How's that? Wow!

 

Finally 19000 firestrike score with my GTX 1070 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/53137984

 

Awesome

 

Would P775DM3 benefit from better PSU? Found this on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/780W-AC-Ad...951306?hash=item1cf6d09dca:g:RWsAAOSwcYxZkcfz

 

Of course, in case you wanna overclock it. That's Eurocom selling the product BTW

It's a reliable seller

Edit: I believe they offer a period of warranty for products sold on eBay. Contact them thru eBay and ask about warranty

 

I have seen my 8700K go up to 143W on some OC try. Another question, how did made msi voltage curve work? On my gtx1070 voltage adjustment is locked.

 

You can undervolt using the curve. Look at this guide from @Mr fox :


To see the voltage and other adjustments use this:

Ask about that in the TDP TWEAKER topic as its off-topic here

 

Need a second Power Supply for 2080 or is one enough?

 

Watch my setup... i just have a 330w psu

 

Depends how far you want to push it I guess.

 

just normal 2080 without oc at the moment. My problem is that my new 2080 and P870tm working after ini mod but after 5min of gaming the machine shut down. Any ideas?

 

Change thermal paste for it. Did you try it already?

 

Yes already Changes thermalpaste. Any Others ideas why ist hard shut down after few Minutes gaming?

 

Nevermind. Bios working fine, thank you.

 

What was wrong?

 

Ever happened to you when running Gpu benchmark screen went black and full fans speed went on? Also LED blinking on laptop. I think it's my gtx1070 got pushed too much. Maybe possible to add more mosfets to 1070? I did it to my 980m P-150sma Maxwell was fun to overclock.

 

Make sure the thermal pads are making good contact to the existing VRMs.

 

My 2080 in the p775dm3 is unlocked to 200w and O.C ! I have 0 problem with my 330w PSU.

 

You have managed to unlock the TDP slider, or it is a 200W vbios? Is it coming from AW laptop? My friend tried in his 775tm1, and the card died instantly

 

with Vbios. the card of you friend is G-sync ?
