Hey OP, thanks for the details! I have a 860eTU and see that the latest bios supports Win7. Good thing I know that now, before I tried sticking in my SSD and installing.

Hi everybody. What am I need for update bios for support Intel VT after I buy new CPU with support Intell VT technology.

 

Clevo doesn't have any BIOS downloads for that model that I can find, and google turns up nothing as well. How old is it?

Perhaps it's CLEVO - Products ?

Latest EC firmware for your M771SUN is 1.00.05
ftp://ftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/M7xxSUN/77EC_05.zip

Latest BIOS is 1.00.06
ftp://ftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/M7xxSUN/77SUN0604.zip (take only the BIOS part of this because the above-mentioned EC firmware is newer)

 

Thank you! I upgrade it's
So. Can I see changelog this is firmaware?

 

sorry for bad english

My Notebook is an Positivo Mobile

In the Manual of Positivo appears motheboard model : M74xSG of Clevo.... and appears that supports 4gb max memory DDR2


But, my notebook only read 2gb max memory.

(In the Everest Ultimate Edition appears that motheboard supports 4GB.)



Does have bios update to my motheboard? Is necessary? The date of my bios is 29/09/2009


Thanks and Grateful

 

There is a serial number on the bottom of your laptop (a white sticker with code bar and a number starting with NKM..........), can you provide that serial number in order that i can help you in finding the proper BIOS update?

 

pkhetan, The serial number is 1A095RY5P


In the Bios screen, appears

M7x0S
BIOS REVISION : 1.00.19PO
KBC/EC FIRMWARE REVISION : 1.00.20NB


Thanks!

 

The serial number that I'm talking about starts with "NKM .............". If you can't find it at the bottom, you have to open the bottom and look inside you will find a small long sticker on the motherboard or on other components.

I don't want to give you a BIOS that is not for you because this will lead to unusable machine

 

Is there a new BIOS for the x8100 (Newer than 5/31's x8100 bios 7, X810704.zip)?

 

yes there is new BIOS/EC firmware for X8100

1. System BIOS 1.00.11 and EC firmware 1.00.07. - 2010/7/15
2. Support ATI HD5870 VGA.
3. Run step1.bat to update EC firmware, run step2.bat to update system BIOS.

the X8100 BIOS/EC above

Changes in the BIOS V 1.00.09, EC V 1.00.04 of the D900F: Support nVIDIA GTX 480M VGA card

BIOS 1.00.15 - 2010/8/6 for W86xCU/W86xCU-3D :
ftp://cftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/W8xxCU/W86CU_BIOS15.zip
Changes : Add Intel K0 stepping CPU micro code
and Changes for the previous BIOS 1.00.14 : Solve “HDMI audio has no function with nVIDIA GTS 360M” issue

Change for the BIOS 1.00.13 for W780CU : Solve “HDMI audio has no function with nVIDIA GTS 360M” issue

ftp://cftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/W88xCU/BIOS_03.zip
Changes : Solve “system can’t identify Intel K0 stepping CPU” issue
and Changes for the previous BIOS 1.00.12 is : Solve "sometimes EC reports incorrect EC version to BIOS" issue

 

Thanx. I will update the initial post.
Isn't there a new BIOS for the W870? There should be a 0.14 BIOS for that one as well ?

 

I don't see any thing for the W870CU, sometime there is 1 weak interval between the 870 and the 860, So hope there will be soon

 

The EC 1.00.07 for the X8100 dont work correct!! CPU Fan Speed under load!

I search myself the Bios 1.00.07BR from mySN for my X8100! Anyone can help??

 

hi all.

i would need the latest bios updates for a mk670su

serial is nkm670su7101605.

latest is 1.00.04 as far as i know. mine is older though.

would be nice, if anyone could help.

 

What VGA you have ? Go 7300 or 8400M G ? because the BIOS update depends on that.
For the EC/KBC they have the same update :
1.00.02 : ftp://ftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/M6xSU/M67SU_H802.zip

 

thanks for your fast response. its a go 7300.

 

The last BIOS for the M670SU with a Go 7300 motherboard is the 1.00.03a :
ftp://usftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/M6xSU/M6SU_03a.zip

But you have to update the KBC/EC firmware (the one in my last post 1.00.02) before updating the BIOS.

 

new BIOS for W870CU

1.00.14 - 2010/8/20
R.N. : Update Intel CPU micro code table.

ftp://usftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/W8xxCU/W87CU_BIOS14.zip

 

I wonder which CPU's they added.

 

It's probably just recognizes the proper name of the newer CPU's correctly now. Everything since 1.00.10 seem to be the same in practical terms. Nothing special, typical minor update, Soviet tested and approved.

 

Updated initial post with new BIOS for the X8100 and W880CU (thanx to pkhetan ) and W870CU and W860CU.

 

Is it still speculation that the w88 BIOS will run on a w87, or has someone done it successfully? I keep seeing people refer to this, but I haven't seen a direct post about it.

 

I think only a reseller could tell us that. There is a high risk that one will brick his laptop trying that.

 

Ya, I'm in no hurry to try it myself. It's just that comments I've seen lead to believe it's been done already. It's only going to matter if the w87 doesn't get HD68xx support, which it might not.

 

What so special with the W88 bios ?

 

So the advantage would be true GTX 480M support and that it may get bios support for upcoming GPU which older models might not get - but it's all mere speculation.

What's wrong with the thread title lol

 

That is a bit of a random title change...

 

HAhahaha, what have they done to this thread?

 

Since this seems to be the place where all the BIOS gurus are, here's my question.
I just got my new W880CU with a GTX480M. Now reading on forums, the W870CU being slightly older, I saw that amazing things have been done on it such as HT enable/disable options, overclocking etc. I currently have the OEM 1.00.03 BIOS and .02 EC and I'm wondering if any of those customized BIOS are available for the W880CU. I'm not willing to try putting a W870CU BIOS on it since it might kill support for my GTX480M and I wouldn't be able to do anything with it until I get an HD5870 or GTX280/285M in it. I also have an i7-940XM so I could make use of any "extreme only" features.

 

if you want to overclock then google 'ThrottleStop'

 

Im going to update my bios for M570TU, i download the ISO file which looks like a zip file to me, how do i get it onto a disk so it boots?

Tried extracting the download file onto a disk and putting the downloaded file straight onto a disk, none boot.


EDIT : Nm, i think i have it. Right clicked the file inside the file that i extracted from the downloaded file and selected 'burn iso to disk'

 

Sorry for double post but...You might want to amend this bit

To:
1. Burn the ISO to a CD.
2. Now restart and boot from the CD/DVD.
3. put the disk in the drive and let it do its thing.
4. After it has run once press ctrl C to stop it running again.
5. Remove the disk and reset computer.


It also changed the KBC/FC to v.1.00.11S, is was 1.00.12 before is that good?

 

Thanx Bushmins, but this depends on what BIOS version you got. Sager versions are automatic and you don't need tot do anything, just like you said. Unbranded Clevo ones need more attention though and I made the guide for Clevo versions. Anyway, I will try to make some time and add instruction for Sager BIOS.

That being said, no, that's not good. You basically reverted your EC/KBC to version 11 from version 12. The "S" at the end indicates that you now have a branded sager version of EC/KBC release 11.

 

OK. Is there any way to get it back to 1.00.12 without changing the v.19? Pref with a downloadedable iso file.


EDIT. nm, i think i found the iso from else where in this forum. Will give it ago.

 

That didnt work. Still after an iso for 1.00.12!

OK. Seem to have done it.
Have BIOS v. 1.00.19 and KBC/EC 1.00.12

Phew.

 

If anyone notices a .12/higher (not the current .11/.11oc) bios update for the X8100, and especially a change log, please PM me. The current BIOS allow 5870ms in crossfire to be used with the machine, but they haven't worked all the kinks out yet, and Clevo dearly need to get a BIOS update out to rectify the issues.

 

On the M570RU, do I need the .12aSL version of the BIOS in order to control the fan speed? I have the plain .12 from clevo flashed and when I try Fn + 1 or Fn + 3, etc... it doesn't seem to do anything. What does aSL stand for?

 

Unfortunately I don't know. But it shouldn't hurt to try and find out.
