    1. System BIOS 1.05.03 for P75xDM3(-G) and P77xDM3(-G) only.
    2. Solve “can’t control brightness and G-Sync for NVSR panel” problem.
    3. Refer to readme.txt to update BIOS.

    Now this can be a useful BIOS. Hopefully Palkeo will fix the link or MySN will update their download page (they only have 1.05.02 for download)

    Lmao I'll get it one way or another I suppose.

    Edit* I'd be more then willing to donate to prema, I have no clue about how this bios and ec funny business even works.

    Although seemingly I got flamed seems I did a no, no. Lmao someone like TBoneSan must be one of those 400 pound hackers trumps talks about. Good things I'm voting for him, go Trump!

    I asked my supplier for it and they sent it over this morning, and yes it is for the P775DM3-G as that's what I'm using as my personal machine

    doesnt matter, right now its just about how to source it once its available. potential options are not that many: either choose a different prema partner shop or contact prema himself to arrange for a personal prema mod for a proper donation. if you try and convince another member to give you his/her copy ull both get in trouble...

    Was I made aware of that, no? All that happened was I was hung publicly. I would be more then willing to donate a good amount of money to prema, if that's what it takes. It seems like I entered into an occult meeting and you are about to sacrifice me for asking why you worship the devil.

    If I've been understanding @Meaker@Sager's posts correctly, Sager machines have a better BIOS than what the standard Clevo. So, between that and @unclewebb's ThrottleStop maybe you can find what you need.

    However, if you want the Prema BIOS's then please contact the Prema Mod project group - https://biosmods.wordpress.com/contact/, and perhaps you can strike up a conversation to help support their work, which in the end helps to benefit you and others that are the end users of their work.

    No. It's not that. Prema and his work has been ripped off earlier this year. So, when someone comes in and tries to bypass the channels of BIOS distributions, the community feels it is happening again. No hard feelings. Just contact the folks working on the Prema mod, and see where it goes from there.

    Exactly the kind of constructive post that I was looking for... Lol I'm practically clueless when it comes to this. I did use throttle stop, didn't know if I still needed or what I needed for this brand new machine.

    But appreciate the direction you gave me, seems less like a witch hunt now.

    You may not be doing that but surely to God, TBoneSan could of said this to me rather then attempting to make me look like a fool? Which quite frankly if I look like a fool trying to learn what's available to me then so be it.

    Understood. That's the problem with this medium, there's no way to know what the motives or the problem a person may have. Due to recent events, @TBoneSan's reaction is understandable. We're all *HUGE* @Prema fans! And don't want to see that happen again.

    In any case, hopefully my post helps you with what you seek.

    You're trying to bribe me to pirate a member's work for you, then you've got the gall to say I'm the one with the problem?

    We've seen enough sleezy people over the years pirate members' work.

    Please remove the criticism. Members can be constructive while you like to hate/shame people. :)

    I had no idea there was such a wall between getting a BIOS for a computer. But another member helped me go to the right place and possibly donate to prema. I'm glad my money will go to someone who will use it to help everyone.

    But continue your witch hunt <3.

    Your question could have been phrased much better, like - "How to get Prema BIOS for systems purchased through non Prema Partners?" "Is it possible to get the Prema BIOS for systems purchased form non Prema Partners?" etc.
    Even though your intentions might have been legit, but the way you put it in the first place, made it seem otherwise.

    We have had a really big issue with someone who donated to the author ( @Prema), who then reverse engineered it and tried to distribute it as his own work. Maybe that will explain the "hostility"and "skepticism". And then PM'ing a member to get the BIOS is more so of a bad move. You could have just gone ahead and PM'd Prema in the first place.

    Also Prema has been around a long time, and for the most part has been helping the community for free for even longer.

    Exactly?! You expect me to know all about this when I have only owned my sager machine for less than a week?! TBoneSan should have never been so hostile point me in the right direction? I did contact prema and offered to donate... I had no idea bios dumps are forbidden here, now I do.

    Really helpful review, thanks. You touched on many points nobody else has. I was also considering one of the other CPUs with lower TDP rating but wasn't sure how big of a difference it would make with normal or heavy usage. How hot does it get under continual load?

    Could you also elaborate more on the quality of the keyboard? I thought it looked pretty decent and the size and proportion of the keys looks standard to typical 15" laptop keyboards (and 13" without numpad) which I'm already accustomed to. Also, is the soft-touch finish similar to the rubber finish from some Asus laptops (if you're familiar), or did you find it cheap or not durable?

    Just installed this bios and I am not quite sure that its 100% OK. In the bios it reads the version 1.05.06, however in windows even after a clean install, the softwares read 1.05.01. Also, the size of the ROM is much smaller than precious versions.

    Which software are you using to read it?

    CPU-Z reads it as 1.05.06

    This was an official BIOS from the UK Clevo distributor. If it wasn't correct it wouldn't have installed.

    CPU-Z and HWInfo.

    Just installed 1.05.02 and that also reads as 1.05.01TPCS.
    (Laptop is from PCSpecialist)
    Really strange. In the bios it is displayed correctly, wonder why it is read wrong in Windows.

    Can't you ask them to send the latest EC too? :)

    Both programs show 1.05.06 on my laptops.

    Try unplugging it from the mains and removing the battery and see if it then sees it properly

    After installing Corsair Vengeance 32Gb@3000, the machine detected it running @2666. I went and enabled XMP Profile 1, and now it is running @3000. Any risks in terms of temps, stability and wear?

    What really sucks is that I cannot change it from T2 to T1 (CR)

    P.S. AIDA64 stability test failed @3000Mhz...nice :(

    Well I have it on 3 laptops now and all show it as 1.05.06.

    The fact that you put 1.05.02 back on and it was still misreporting implies it's not the BIOS but something else causing the issue

    Alienware? Had no idea about this Cleveo stuff. I told everyone I was well aware of prema for Alienware and that they are freely distributed. I eve donated money to a member for a dump of his unlocked Alienware 17 r1 bios he had found.

    join the club buddy, ive also been trying fruitlessly to get those sticks to run at 3000 mhz stable (i have the same kit). always coughing up errors in memtest86+ try and loosen up some timings, maybe thatll give u more stability. forego the oc now (concerning command rate) and focus on a stable base before u try tweaking for more performance...

    did you remove the power adapter after flashing the BIOS once the system turns off? you need to keep the power disconnected for 30 secs.


    Try reflashing your BIOS and do this if you haven't.

    On a side note I am in the finals of ordering a 120hz 5ms screen from Eurocom. It costs way more than it should (680USD), but I did not find anyone else who are willing to sell this part :(
    XoticPC does not sell parts, MySN UK same, MySN EU and HIDEvolution did not even reply...
    Eurocom replies to my mails in a few minutes.

    There is a Windows executable in the folder. Maybe that screwed up everything and stored the previous bios name to a block from where win reads the bios name.

    sure thing, at the gym now though, so itll have to wait a bit :) i can give u some pointers that enhanced stability in my case, but i havent gotten it fully stable yet either. but maybe itll be enough for your machine :)

    Then I'll remove the BIOS and remove those before putting it back up. There's usually a readme file that states it has to be done in a pure DOS environment, those are probably files left over from Clevo as the BIOS was a request for me and Clevo tend to be messy and leave other bits in the folder that you aren't supposed to use. I just assumed you knew that it should be done in a pure DOS environment

    Have you encounter the problem that after changing Memory Profile and restarting BIOS, the laptop is just showing black screen. Irrespective if it was changed to XMP or default.
