    okay interesting. imho they don't list it for the aero models at all, though.
    if you're searching for aero 15 oled xc and advanced optimus, you won't find any info on their webpage, only in some reviews it's mentioned

    Will get the original VBIOS from gigabyte for the aero 15 oled xc most likely next week. Found someone on reddit who should have it anytime soon. Waiting for his laptop to return from rma.

    I gave up sending mine in, I guess gigabyte has simply closed my ticket, no reply recieved in over one week :/

    @hongkongphooey99 no, but 15p VBIOS should be available soon here as well.
    As soon as I found one for the 15g, I will share it as well.

    However, you could try the original vbios from the aero 15 once available, maybe this one will actually work for you, as well. If not, you know how to flash back, already

    This Bios says it's 90 watt on the web page. Is it actually 105?

    the aero is also just 90+15. nvidia settings for the clevo vbios does not show anything else than before, except for resizable bar enabled and a different vbios version, of course.

    but currently i have issues with fan settings. seems like only normal mode is working properly. i don't think it's related though since the issue accured just a few days ago

    Thats kind of ridiculous that we have to do that to get it. I am getting an MSI next year because of it. MSI is much more lenient on what they let you without having to void warranties or send a product back for a routine update.

    actually i tried to send mine in just for getting the vbios (and share it), but I actually wasn't able to. after a few emails, which took them several days to reply they've send me a link to a bios update and never replied to further emails telling them that they have clearly misunderstood my request... wasn't rude or anything, i just think they didn't want to understand (rma germany)

    Yes same as mine in 15p XC. This in not any new vbios. Just update with same as newer production. It does not matter if it was dumped from a new production laptop or update with official file.

    have you checked nvidia control center if resizable bar is enabled? i thought the new models should already have an upgraded vbios.
