    I don't think there's a Prema Mod for this specific model yet, same goes with the N150/170 SD/RD series.

    I do own the N170RF model. which has the 965M 2016 refresh with 2gb VRAM. @Prema , this model is said to have a 120w power adapter. May this be a limiting factor? And if it is not, is it possible for this model to have a bios mod?

    I just saw something interesting :D On biosmods.wordpress.com (prema mod website), in the benchmark section a benchmark with the N150RF model can be found, which has the 2016 refresh of the 965M. It scored 6094 in Fire Strike, with graphics score being 7051 :)

    It has a core clock of 1,372 MHz and the memory bus clock is 1,453 MHz :eek:

    Can it be that the mod is already available to download, or? :confused:

    EDIT : The description for the benchmark is : ”+ Core 220 + Mem 400 + VCore 62.5mV” :rolleyes:

    Those are some nice clocks, someone might be testing a beta version, I don't know.

    The recent incident with Prema being back stabbed by a user won't be helping.
