    Hello,

    I own a P775DM-3(G). It is on earlier bios and I was just wondering if there any reason to updates the bios. I currently have issues with not being able to undervolt within the bios (using throttestop) and No audio through HDMI. Wondering if these issues would possibly be resolved by doing an update or just make them worse. Also is there a way to pay for PERMA bios after the purchase. I've looked far and deep and just can find anything really useful regarding this.

    Specs= i7 6700k
    P775DM-3(G) = ORGIN PC
    16gb of ram
    GTX 1080
    4k Screen

    Thanks,
    your friend Drew

    Not sure about audio via HDMI, but the dsanke bios does have all options unlocked so you can change voltage etc, found here :
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...clevo-laptops-rtx-cards-now-supported.825558/

    Note, make sure you confirm your video card GOP version as per instructions.

    Another benefit of the modded bios is 128gb ram support from what I read in the thread.

    No clue what benifits the Prema version has over the dsanke bios, dsanke bios is comprehensive so I'd imagine functionally no real difference.

    Thank You! I have tried everything to get the HDMI to have audio. The Control panel detects the audio device but no option within the sound settings. Maybe I will create a new thread if the bios update does not seem to do anything.

    Also, can I even use that bios if I have an i7 6700k? or would I need to upgrade that part of it?

    If you plan to use skylake or kabylake CPU, you don't need to flash the BIOS.
