    Hello everyone!
    I have a question for the wisest out there: which is the latest available version of the Control Center? I do not understand why each model on the Clevo website has a different one: for example, my P670SE has v5.0000.0.11, the P870DM has v5.0000.0.35, etc...I know there are drivers buried within it but they seem pretty much generic for every model, is the difference between versions only the support for newer models? Or are there some bugfixies actually? Would it be safe to use a later version than the one listed for my model? By the way, looks like the latest would be v5.0001.0.39, found it under P6xxRx drivers.

    Also another thing I do not understand, what's the GPU Performance Scaling option in bios supposed to do? Does it have to do with overclocking?

    Thanks for your patience! And sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language :D

    So far as I'm aware, you can use the latest version number on just about any current system, although certain versions may be ideal for models with no backlit keyboard or, at least, a non-programmable backlit keyboard.

    The GPU scaling option is indeed for overclocking. :vbcool:

    You did great!

    If you download that v5.1000.0.39 Control Panel Hotek and extract it, then right click on setup.exe, then go to details, you will notice it says v5.0000.0.36

    This is not the first time the Clevo Drivers Clowns team does this, on my P870DM-G if I download the v5.0000.0.35 drivers and extract it, it says v5.0000.0.32 for the actual version.

    Classical Clevo swiss cheese

    Thanks for your help Prostar, trying to do the best I can! Really love english, much more than my own language u.u

    Yeah, just checked that out, they have a very weird version control (like all those nice XML blob errors when downloading drivers)...v5.0000.0.35 from the P870DM list indeed says .32 under details. So I've just downloaded again v5.0001.0.39 from the P6xxRx list hoping for the best, and under details it actually says 5.0001.0.39...is that a mirage? :D Got a screen, language is italian, but I've hilighted the version line.
