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

That's the point - i see version 1.0.7.16 available with the FN+D - as NOT USABLE, however i have it working on Eurocom modded bios for this laptop of the same base version...

Does it mean i loose it, when flash to Dsanke's mod?

I guess best way it to test, however not sure i get it back when flash back to Eurocom))

 

Yes you get it back when flashing your backup. Don't forget to backup your current BIOS

 

I tried to modify two versions of the BIOS with kofetime, for 870 dmg. The QQLT processor did not start working on a laptop. then I'll try a few more options. if possible, I will write.

 

I tried modifying the same thing, for some reason, the new flash just got my ME version to show as 0. I might have missed something. I did flash back to the normal version again and the intel ME version showed properly.

 

Did the CPU worked?

 

No, not even close. I put the older one in and that was the error I got.

 

The laptop does not even boot.

 

It does not seem to be a much thought after feature but I would need both 128GB RAM and a working Thunderbolt port for a P775TM or P870TM - can anybody confirm they got that working with one of these bios versions?
Not really interested in a big video card, "only" an 8 core / 16 threads CPU, 128GB RAM and working Thunderbolt.

 

Further to my question, i can confirm, that FN+D function for cmos reset works on DSANKE bios for p870tm ver 1.0.7.16 with EC ver. 1.0.7.8.

 

Does anyone have the vBios for the Rtx 2080 mobile with G sync ? Thx in advance

 

Make sure the device ID matches your gpu but the only one I could find is this one: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/208784/208784

 

I tried this one ... still not working ...i don’t know what to do ...

 

Should have backed up the original before flashing

 

Yup ... i know now ... but i considered that all rtx 2080 mobile video cards have the same bios ... and it will be fine ... my mistake ... my question îs if i can unbrik my card ..

 

They don't have the same vBios. Varies a lot from brand to brand

 

FInally getting around to modding my P870DM laptop, but I'm getting this error on flashing (after successfully backing up the BIOS).

"Error 318: The host CPU does not have read access to the target flash area. To enable read access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region."

This is an EVOC-branded unit. I've only found one relevant setting to disable via Google, and the ME is "Disabled".

 

Hi! Does any one can help me with problem discribed here

http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...tx-1070-to-rtx-2080-possible-problems.835258/

After installation of gf rtx 2080 to CLEVO P870DM2/DM3 ( BIOS Modified by dsanke from this post) power adapter starts switch of when laptop under load (games/benchmark). If any ideas - let me know.

Thank you in advance.

 

You need a beefier/better power supply. Even if you already have a 330 W supply, some are better than others. I ordered some 330 W supplies which were marketed as suitable and matched the manufacturer of the 230 W supplies I'd been using (Chicony). They would shut down randomly under spot load. I returned them and ordered Liteon ones. Those have been robust.

 

I have this one

I have visited today 2 separate service centers... both confirmed that power adapter IS OK...

 

I don't see those images for some reason. I just see broken IMG tag icons

TRY THIS ONE

Yeah, not sure what to say - I think it's really just down to the quality of the supply. I also need to correct myself - I had 230 W Chicony, and bought the 330 W Deltas, which were all I could find. They failed for my 9700K/1080 GPU pairing, where the 230 W Chicony were fine for my 9700K/1060 GPU pairing (the GPU upgrade pushed me up against the limits of the 230 W supplies). I returned the Deltas and have the Liteon ones, which have been perfectly behaved.

It seems that quite a few manufacturers cut corners and rapid changes in load will cause their products to trip. Under steady load without transients, I think they are likely fine, but the bursty transitions to ~200W or more pushes them over the edge. I don't think there's much you can do about it other than replace the supply. I'm not sure how your service centers validated the supplies - did they have your machine on-hand to see what was going on when they trip?

 

Yes, I have show them.

Mmmm how do you think, is it possible to repair (by replacing some Capacitors inside power adapter). There are no any same power adaptors on Cyprus...to order another one (for 100$) and wait for another delivery of defected product... it is not my sollution...

 

could it be also problem with BIOS settings ? How do you think?

 

You could try reducing your overall power impact by using something like ThrottleStop to force the CPU into a low power mode (e.g. forcing it to run at a lower clock speed to greatly reduce its power demands). That might buy you headroom for the GPU to flex its power needs, and also confirm that the power transients are causing your trouble. I'm not sure what, if any, options exist for tweaking the power profile of the GPU.

I'm not a power supply engineer, though, so whether it's mitigatable by surgery on the power supply, I really can't say. In my case, it was easier to just order power supplies from a Clevo reseller as parts, with the probably likelihood of success. The Delta packs came from Amazon, and I think that's where I went wrong - the resellers ship power supplies suited to the power demands of their machines

 

thanks a lot for your consern. I will go to another service tommorow to discuss your suggestion that problem is in power adapter...if they can fix it somehow...I will update this post.

ANY ONE ELSE meet same problem?

 

By the way I ahve tryed to force the CPU into a low power mode - without results.

 

Hi,
Have you tried superposition? It uses only the gpu, so the cpu will not use to much TDP. Secondly your 2080 vbios is the original 150W version? (not higher from any alienware card).
I had a 9900 + 2080 (150W) in my previos 870km1, worked flawlessy, used about 250-270W, so 330W power cannot be an issue with a 6700k + 2080 (150W vbios).

 

Sorry, could you please advise what is superposition?

regarding vbios, I have used thisone rtx2080_p775tm1_10de1e90.rom (by recomndation from laptop and vga 2080 supplier)...

https://sun9-14.userapi.com/impf/4L...n=2211c4c5fb8ef61ce405c2d4de68e6f3&type=album

 

if you can share what kind of vbios i should ti use I will be very appriciated.

 

Also it should be noted that even if will restart laptop after power adapter will stop working after I put load to gpy/pcu (benchmark/games)...it still not wirking till I plug out - plugin PCU...

 

check with hwinfo what is the max TDP for the 2080. It could be also MB VRM issue. The had it prior the 2080?

 

I have used the same VRAM 2 X 16 GB DDR4-2400 DDR4 SDRAM (21-17-17-39 @ 1200 МГц) TOTAL 32 GB

TDP for CPU 95W

Regarding GPU...IT IS VERY STRANGE - i COULD NOT FIND IT:

https://vk.com/im?peers=111321&sel=4799954&z=photo3812694_457241459/mail131777

 

Oh yes I have tryed superposition benchmark - the same problem...

 

What was your previous gpu? Was it working flawlessly prior 2080 gpu?

 

Sorry for my bad ENGLISH

My laptop is P870DM-G. I had updated bios (BIOS Clevo ALL 9th.zip). Work very well (6700K)
but 9900KF cpu (Isolate-2pins) is not work (cannot boot)

Is not support 9900KF ?

 

Isolate pins cannot be an issue unless you cover other 2 pin. I have checked once all pin layout on z170 and z370, and the only difference, that for z370 these 2 pins shorts the cpu and let some voltage run thru it, hence burn down immediately, however these pins not needed. The only reason to cover, to prevent from burn, but you only need them if you wanna go back to 6/7 gen cpu (sidenote, I do not really the point of it).

 

@matyee

Thank you for your advice.
I confirmed (the link below) that Mod Bios(BIOS Clevo ALL 9th.zip) supports 9900KF.
I will try again

Update: Bricked my own P870DMG.

Wanted to double check a few things, so I re-attempted flash (previously, I had backed up and error'd out the flash).

This time, it appeared to be going through. After 99% erasure, it simply turned off. Now won't turn on. Yippee!!

So, I'm going to snag one of these and give it a go. I've never recovered from beyond the grave, but I have hot-swapped socketed BIOS chips for programming shenanigans ages ago.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/CH340-CH34...918876?hash=item5dae575a5c:g:HvAAAOSw1TxfLMBm

I've found a guide which uses this same device, clip, and process on Windows, but I'm checking here just to be sure.

One question, do I reflash the STOCK BIOS, or just hop straight to the money and flash in the new BIOS?

 

If you reflash the backup initially, at least you'll know that your backup (stock) is good (or not). Not sure how much disassembly is required in your case, but for my machine (750DM3G), all I had to do was remove the keyboard and the BIOS chip is exposed for easy recovery, so it wasn't too painful to experiment a bit.

Some of these programmers also seem iffy - I had one (looks very similar to your eBay one) that insisted it had successfully written the BIOS, but when I used the verify command in its tool, it would report mismatches. The board also got very warm after being plugged in a while, which made me nervous.
The one I trusted more (before it developed an issue) was like this : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Skypro-hig...205726?hash=item3378ee279e:g:YPYAAOSwxA1crcDC (except I ordered mine from Amazon for speed)

 

My system is already a naked board - No problems here

I'm turning it into an AIO like the Asus ProArt Studiobook - Mounting the LCD where the keyboard goes, and right-angling the HDMI and power port on the bottom to point out towards the rear.

Poor old guy is all parts - Only the motherboard and keyboard were a good salvage, everything else is dinged / bottom-end / cut up spares from my now golden P870DM2.

 

BTW the bios chip is not the one exposed directly under the keyboard. The bios chip is under the metal plate, under the keyboard. You need to remove the motherboard completely to access the bios chip in a P775DM3-G. I'm pretty sure you flashed the wrong chip.

See pictures of where the chip is located:



A friend of mine did cut the metal to avoid full disassemblies in the future and easy access to it
The advised bios chip flasher to use Is the TL866ii Plus to avoid issues or problems

 

The ESM for the 775DM3 board shows the board layout and the BIOS chip is located with the marked indicator (U16).

 

This model has 2 bios chips and the one I posted the photo is the one advisable to be flashed by a spi programmer

 

use tl866II plus because this programmer is very cheap..

Just edited 1.07.29 from dsanke with coffeetime 0.92 and it's working just fine with coffeetime fixes (128gb of ram fix, but cpu core sync and so on). Didn't try to change ME or even disabling it all together with coffeetime. If anyone wants it let me know. It has included the support for 9900kf and RTX and GTX

 

Your version has working Thunderbolt/USB? It would be useful, I think, to have available. I thought the previous 128 GB patch required the loss of some functionality, so I'm curious.

 

USB type c? Yep. Was fixed a couple of pages back. I'll post here a link for it as soon as I am in the laptop. Make sure you follow the first post instructions to flash it

 

Just to check, this also has Gsync support?
