    Hey guys,

    i was wondering if there's a way to modify my B5130M's BIOS, since Clevo's not updating it.
    I'm really annoyed by that fan controlling, especially that the trip point is set to about 40°C.
    I want the fan to start at about 50°C, like it's done in the new W150HRM.

    Is there any chance to get this BIOS modded? Is there someone among you who knows how to do that?
    I'm also willing to pay you out, if you could get my notebook quiet..

    Thanks
    Showtime

    Chances are you'll be waiting on one of two things, an update with altered fan tables or fan control software that supports these chipsets to come out.

    Theres no software out for working with the bios these machines run yet, they're based on amibios8 and none of the utilities for this other than the firmware update utility have seen light outside of licensee's hands.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news so to speak.
