    Does your 128Gb work and the USB type c ports too?

    On 1.07.29 me and @dsanke fixed the USB type c ports so that's a lie.

    Normaly yes but the usb c port dosent work with 128Go because the thunderbolt 3 is disable. But if you want 128Go works you need disable intel me and tb3.

    About the 1.07.29 the 128Go dosent work. BUT my apologie is true the usb c works.

    Hi guys. I bought some time ago a used P775dm3 with dsanke bios. I don't know wich version of the bios it is. Even if i had many problems with it ( i'm not a specialist ), it worked kind of fine except that dual channel is impossible. But today i had to reset the bios to default, and now my cpu is stuck at 873 mhz and i absolutely don't know wich options in the bios i have to change to make it work normally ( 6700K). As i don't care about unlocking the bios, i'm really fed up with this ( many problems with ram too ) and i'd like to go back to a stock original bios.
    Is it possible ? How do i proceed ? Is there a tutorial to flash clevo bios step by step ?

    I think you're better off setting your current bios right. Someone with a dsanke bios should be able to help you with that (I don't have one). It sounds like a power issue (unless you're severely temperature throttling). Do you know how to work with something like HWinfo64? What are your temperatures?

    I actually solved the problem. I had to disable all override cpu voltage and control. If i touch anything in the bios like powervoltage, fanspeed, or anything, i can't use my cpu. And i still have all my troubles with ram ( all slots work fine one by one, all my memory sticks work fine, but if i try dual channel => no boot. And only slots 0 and 3 work if i put 2 ram sticks. I have 3 x 2x8gb at different speed to test, and all work fine in another laptop ). I'm not a power user at all, just want my clevo to work as intended, undervolt my cpu with throttlestop, and fed up with this complicated bios :p
    So i'd like to reverse flash to a stock official bios. But i'm afraid as my graphics card was flashed with the gop thing ( 1080 ), and with EC and stuff, don't want to brick it ( no programmer and wouldn't even know how to use it ).

    Thanks. That's right i have actually no use for dsanke bios. Thanks for the link. To reverse flash it, i actually follow the same steps as the first post ? Won't it brick my computer ( don't know wich EC i'm on, my gpu was flashed as described in the first post with the gop thing ).

    The BIOS flash changed my UUID so Obsidian's fan control now has reverted back to the unpaid version. Obsidian aren't replying when I asked if I could have my UUID changed on the account. Has anyone got a work around before I go back to CCC?

    You'll need the BIOS programmer and clip to write the BIOS directly at this point. Do you have that hardware available?

    go flash your original backup and never flash bios in this thread. modified unofficial bios is not suitable for you.
    if you do not backup, just ask yourself why you do not follow the guide.

    It can be that the flash is reported as successful, but the flashing has failed. This tends to occur when you skip one or more steps in the instructions. You really do have to remove all storage, the battery, and so on. Those instructions are not accidental in nature. It also indicates in the instructions that you can still potentially end up with a black screen and a machine that can only be recovered with a hardware programmer to flash the BIOS back. This requires you to locate the BIOS chip on your system board - you can either dig up the service manual for your specific machine or ask for advice / confirmation in these forums. You really, really don't want to flash the wrong chip.

    Note also that there can be significant work in taking the machine apart to get access to the BIOS chip (I don't have your particular machine - it may be more or less work, others can comment).

    Also, did you backup the original BIOS during the process?

    Hi, i have a Clevo P775TM1 with stock bios EC v1.07.16, my 1080 died and i replaced it today with a rtx 2080 from ebay(eurocom). the notebook is starting and running so far but the bios dont recognize the card. i want to ask if some pro here have a idea what should i do. should i try to get a spi flasher and update to this bios here or is there an another solution? thanks

    EDIT: my problem was i wanted to upgarde on 1.07.29 but clevo want you to upgrade step by step. so i jumped on 1.07.20 and then the rtx was running nativ with it. thank for your time mates!

    Hi guys ! Just flashed my clevo p775dm3 with Dsanke BIOS 1.07.29, and its working perfect with my i9 9900 ES, QQBZ :) Many thanks for any help. Just last question, is there any chance to enabled Sound Blaster X-fi 5 card, for better sound instead of Microsoft Hight Definiton Audio ?

    Hello all, this is my first post here, long time lurker though.

    I have a Clevo p750dm2-g with an RTX 1070 and Core i5 6600k. Yeah, original hardware, I know.

    So I finally decided to get proficient with the SPI flasher (ch341a, using asprogrammer) and managed to TDP unlock my graphics card (yay!). Now I want to buy a new Core i9 9900kf and upgrade my mediocre CPU. Maybe get an RTX card down the line.

    I have gone through the files, instructions and this thread and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger.

    I only have one doubt though: how can I make sure I have never updated the Intel management engine? What version should it be in?

    I checked the BIOS and it states I have an Intel ME version of 11.0.18.1002. I google it and it seems to have come out in October 2016, so instinct says it should be alright. Can someone confirm that?

    I don't think I've updated, but who knows what I did in the early days of owning this PC. It's still an expensive CPU and I'd like to be sure before I go out and buy it.

    Thank you all in advance for your help and congratulations on the great work.

    Edit: My BIOS version is 1.05.06 and the KBC/EC Firmware Revision is 1.05.03. VBIOS 86.04.72.12; build date: 06/14/17

    Hi Doze,

    The BIOS strings are saying P7XXTM-1.0, so I wouldn't try that on a TM1-G.

    The BIOS for the TM1-G Model should actually say P7XXTM-1.1.

    Hi All,

    I'm new to Notebookforums but actually active for pretty long in the BIOS-Modding Scene.
    I saw that this BIOS was asked but I couldn't find it anywhere inside this thread.
    So I've created a custom BIOS especially for P775TM1-G Version 1.07.28.
    As base image I used the 1.07.28 version from XMG (Since I couldn't find any 1.07.28 for TM1 in repo.palkeo).

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MZQPtMjaTAZ6TjhBl9S6sF-0vsIdcxGI/view?usp=sharing

    128GB Ram is supported, Overclocking Menu enabled and other essential Features are unlocked. (-50mw pre-undervolted)
    If you want to run 128GB ram, you may run into "Insufficient PCI Resources! Message"
    So don't forget to set ME to disabled, also disable "Above 4G MMIO BIOS Assignment" and the message is gone.
    Type-C and Thunderbolt is working just fine.
    Flash-procedure is the same as described in the front-page.
    Don't forget, to always make sure to have a backup copy of your current BIOS before flashing anything!

    I uploaded these BIOS with 16 threads support, and BGA1440 adapted CPU support( ME Disabled edition).
    Including perfect BIOS for DM1 series , which have no reboot or audio issues, because I made it from original BIOS, not port from TM series..
    I will rewrite some documents when I have more free time.
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZRLYpWUCwY9bsUpyEIVMrKQz7ID2JzEi?usp=sharing

    All based on latest official BIOS I've found.
    No port at all so everything should have no bug.
    BIOS only have menus about 4 cores and lose G-Sync/Optane RST are normal.
    DC = DD, DM2 = DM3, KJ = KK, KM = KM1, N950 = N957, P7xx = P75x + P77x, x = any number
    DRAM SPD Write Protection disabled by default.
    IGFX Low Power Mode disabled by default.
    Showing all hidden menus by default.
    This time I do not use iasl to disassembly ACPI table, I edit binary to inject CPU 8+ logic manually without disassembly.

    ME disabled edition support BGA1440 adapted CPU, but those CPU have bad memory quality.
    Do not distrust BIOS when you using those things, all problems are related to adaptor hardware.
    And ME disabled edtiion support 128GB DRAM when using 4x32GB, which may showing a Pci Out of Resources error, just use ESC Key to skip that. I have no method to fix that now. Changing Above 4G may result in black screen, need recover from SPI flash.

    128G suffix of filename means the same as ME Disabled.
    If using port BIOS and lose ThunderBolt/Type-C, try edit BIOS Setup->Advanced->Intel(R) Thunderbolt->Thunderbolt(TM) Enumeration Mode->Legacy

    Sounds interesting. What issues were present for audio and reboot before, that are now gone? Is there any risk/benefit to using the ME disabled versions? Just wondering whether the changes are worth an update from your previous .29 release for a 9700K/GTX 1080 (Gsync) p750DM3G

    What's wrong with my expression? I said that's DM1, but you are DM3, which do not have these issues from the beginning. You dont need flash anything.

    The phrase 'Including DM1 series perfect BIOS, no reboot or audio issues.' suggested to me a set of global enhancements that included the DM1 series - not that the audio/reboot issues were specific to DM1. The 'including' keyword is what gave me that impression, as in "now including DM1, perfect BIOS...."

    Thanks for the clarification. :)

    please tell me. after installing this BIOS, ME disabled, any processor from this series will work for me on Clevo P870dm ? BGA 1440, mutants. QQLT, QQLS, QTJ1, or is it necessary to add microcode with the Cofetime program?

    on the bottom of main thread.

    the me disabled bios i posted above support all bga1440 adapted cpu which you could get, you dont need edit anything. but you may still can not boot because compatibility of dram or unstable installation,cpu issue, not bios issue.

    do I need to select a suitable dram? like stationary computers? these processors do not work with all memory sticks. but is it possible to select the correct memory sticks and run the system on these processors? Yesterday one familiar person tried, he could only enter the BIOS. windows could not install, writes, mouse and keyboard stops working before installing windows.
