    Unfortunately, the CLEVO servers suck big time, you'd be lucky if you were able to complete a download and even if you did, you may or may not be able to successfully extract the zip file.

    Example of how long a single download takes on my 100 MBPS connection:

    2016-01-06_200053.png

    I have spent a lot of time downloading and testing these drivers so I have uploaded them for you on Media Fire.

    Below are the links and their recommended installation order.

    Note 1: Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools then right click on Services and send it to the desktop as a shortcut. Reason being, it is best to have the Windows Driver Foundation set to Automatic rather than manual during the drivers installation. After we are done with everything, set it back to manual.

    What I recommend you to do is after every restart, double click on that Services shortcut that we created on the desktop and double check that the Windows Driver Foundation has not been set back to manual. Some drivers set it back to manual for example, the Fingerprint scanner, the moment you install it and reboot, the service would be set back to manual.

    Failure to have the Windows Driver Foundation driver may result in some drivers not properly being installed.

    Note 2: When asked to reboot, for the love of God you have a super fast system, follow the instructions and reboot it would only take a few seconds. do not take any shortcuts, I personally reboot after every driver installation whether or not I was asked to reboot by the driver and/or Windows itself.

    It is best to install all the Microsoft Visual C++ Libraries in order for all the drivers and/or games to work properly:

    Download Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Installer (All-In-One) Installer

    Windows 10 Drivers:

    1) Intel Chipset Software v10.1.1.33

    2) nVIDIA GeForce Driver v378.49 (If you have an SLI system, after the installation is complete go to the nVIDIA Control Panel and enable SLI mode selecting AUTO as your PhysX Processor then apply and reboot once it asks you to)

    Also see this:
    nVIDIA Telemetry in their latest drivers


    3) LAN Killer e2400 Driver v9.0.0.42 (go to device manager, then right click on the ethernet controller(s), then choose Update Driver Software, then manually browse to the folder which you extracted

    Then do the same for the 2nd Ethernet Card. This way we have the driver installed but without the problematic Bandwidth Control tools that are available in the full suite.)

    4) Realtek S5250 Card Reader Driver v10.0.10586.21291

    5) Synaptics Touchpad Driver v19.0.24.1

    6) Airplane Driver v1.4.0.3

    7) Control Center AP v5.0001.0.50 (AKA Hotkey Driver)

    8) Intel Management Engine Interface Driver v11.6.0.1039

    New Note: After downloading the ZIP file and extracting it, I advice you to go into the MEI-Only Installer MSI folder as that will only install MEI without the other junk as shown below.

    After IME has been installed, it automatically installs Intel Security Assist which is useless to the average consumer, so just head over to Control Panel > Programs & Features then uninstall it.

    Uninstall.png


    9) Intel Thunderbolt Driver v16.2.52.250

    10) Realtek HD Audio Driver v6.0.1.8004

    11)
    - Intel Wireless Driver WLAN v19.20.3.4 / BT Driver v19.30.1649.0949
    - Killer WLAN Driver v12.0.0.285/BT v10.0.0.279 / [Killer Suite links removed due to how many problems it creates, stick to installing the drivers manually via device manager]
    - Realtek Combo Card Driver (WLAN v2023.33.415.2016, BT v1.3.886.3)

    12) EgisTec Fingerprint Scanner Driver v3.5.1.0

    13) SoundBlaster X-Fi MB5 AP v1.00.18

    Right after installing the SoundBlaster X-fi MB5 app, when it prompts you to reboot now or later, just alt tab to go to your desktop, then launch Autoruns64.exe as admin, then delete the updreg entry completely as it's only a registration reminder for your SoundCard but I found that it sometimes causes an error when trying to launch. Bloatware that is.

    I hear you bro, I gave up on downloading it on my machine as I am using it and sometimes have to reboot so I setup another laptop just dedicated to download from their crappy Taiwanese servers! very pathetic that at this day and age, such a rich company selling some of the most expensive laptops cannot have a properly working drivers page. The European Servers / American servers NEVER worked for me, I got them all from the Asian Servers but at super slow 50 KB/S download speeds! Imagine!

    Even though the VGA Drivers is a bit older 359.00, it has the latest GeForce Experience, that's the only change I did to the drivers, I removed the old GeForce Experience folder and replaced it with the new one juts for ease of installation if one decides to install it. other than that, the drivers are untouched.

    The latest IME driver also comes to play well with the latest BIOS which has an updated IME firmware :)

    You don't need to go back. For fun I thought I'd try the new clevo one, slightly less fps than ngreedia's latest drivers. With gpu I think latest drivers from gpu maker are usually always best. Usually

    Noone told you to go back. These are the latest drivers from Clevo that are approved. The latest drivers have been very problematic recently.

    wow, this is alarming. I seriously doubt that Clevo will do anything about this, if they can't get a drivers page to properly provide downloads for customers with the latest drivers, they don't provide the BIOS to its customers directly, no way they will give us any BIOS update that will fix this. I may be pessimistic but that is simply because I am very disappointed with how CLEVO handles driver updates/lack of BIOS. Heh, and I used to think ASUS was bad in that department, CLEVO takes the crown of crappy consumer support.

    If anyone is gonna start bashing me and start telling me I need to contact the reseller I bought it from, well, the reseller can only help so much, they sell a system that is working, they try to help but thay cannot be bothered to follow up on each BIOS/Driver update. The ODM should make it easy for everyone to get these.

    I Believe Clevo will release a fix, I already got two bios updates for my system (P750DM) one of them solved memory compatibility issue which caused memory errors with kingston modules. (all P7xxDMG are based over the same motherboard)
    Also MYSN UK where I ordered my system are quite helpfull & honest.
    Anyway, having a "defected" system is a valid reason for getting the full money back...
    I'm optimistic... for now... :)

    Right, unless it is under the P870DM page I will not add it to the main post. When any other site posts it for the P870DM I will post it though be it from Clevo, Sager, MyMSN, Prostar, etc.

    Yes but not because I feel any speed difference, but simply because I want to have the combined extra storage of both the drives as I have a huge games library.

    I partition 200GB for C: (OS Drive) and 700GB for D: (Games, drivers and software folder) and leave 100 GB or so unpartitoned for OP (over provisioning) , Stripe size = 16K as that's the fastest for small files which are what the OS comprise of and 16K is also the recommended Stripe size for SSDs according to Intel. My two 2 TB Samsung Spinpoint HDDs are also in RAID 0 as well but with a Stripe size if 128k since they only contain gigantic video files so the larger Stripe size here is better.

    SyncBackPro, it is configured to backup certain folders like my docs, music, pics, software folder, etc. to an external USB HDD, when I run it, it only copies/deletes the changes so entire backup of everything after the first time, takes no longer than a few seconds.

    Hello, I became happy when I received Clevo P870DM-G :)
    Where can I download the latest bios version 01.05.03 ?
    I flashed the bios XMG 1/05/04 and bad :(
    I went back to Clevo bios 01/05/02
    However, version 01.05.03 was higher CPU performance power - a link to nowhere :(

    1.05.04 has been pulled by Clevo as it's a buggy BIOS you don't wanna use it.

    Which reseller did you buy your Clevo P870DM from?

    I also cannot find 1.05.03 I only have the link for the official Clevo 1.05.02 and 1.05.04

    1.05.03 is the best for now

    I got mine from Eurocom which is the reseller I bought P870DM-G from but that I cannot share. Can only share the official Clevo ones unfortunately otherwise it has to come from you re-seller, I am sure if you contact their support they should be able to send it to you.

    Laptop bought in Germany - CEG-Hardcorecustom with the BIOS 1.05.03 - bios perfect :vbthumbsup:
    unnecessarily I flashed the bios XMG 1.5.04 one big bug :wacko:
    I wanted to go back to the bios 05/01/03 but I do not see him anywhere ..
    I have uploaded 05.01.02 because only one found - but the performance is worse
    so I wanted to go back to 1.05.03 official Clevo

    you have the possibility to share with him ?

    my results are in the email signature has just to the BIOS 1.05.03

    LAN Killer e2400 Driver updated v9.0.0.37 in the OP, manually update your driver through device manager by pointing it to the extracted ZIP folder.

    Quick Q - should we install the Intel Rapid Storage Tech if we are not using any Raid setups?

    Would it hurt either way to just install it anyway? Thanks.

    yes, it is an improved driver for the AHCI controller. The default AHCI driver is very old/ancient.

    Every laptop I have owned, even if it didn't have a RAID setup, had the IRST preinstalled by the manufacturer always

    Why would you want the VGA driver from the Clevo website and not Nvidia directly?

    Not all drivers from Nvidia work optimally on the laptop. Clevo's own Nvidia drivers are more optimized for their laptops. Not always but sometimes. Nvidia has released a lot of trash lately.

    because until recently, all the latest nVIDIA drivers were crap, 361.43, 361.60, etc...

    So one would be better off using the approved driver by CLEVO even though it's older.

    Luckily, 361.91 is now stable, hence why I changed the download link in the OP to that after I've tested it.

    The latest Clevo Control Center .35 does not remember the brightness you set.... so at random when you start the computer it starts with brightness at 100%... it's extremely annoying at night time....
    @Phoenix do you happen to have the previous version the .34 ? Can you upload it please?

    Thank you !
