    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:

    [​IMG]

    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 v10.1.1.38

    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 v10.0.14393.21292

    5) Synaptics TouchPad driver v19.3.4.58

    6) Airplane Driver v1.4.0.3

    7) Control Center v5.0001.1.07 (AKA Hotkey Driver)

    To install the Clevo Control Center without the built-in CPU/Memory Overclocking tool (which contains XTU components):

    Edit the OEM.INI file in the Clevo Control Center driver's directory before you install it:

    Change SupportXTUFanTable=1 to SupportXTUFanTable=0


    8) Intel Management Engine Driver v11.6.0.1032

    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.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    9) Intel Thunderbolt Driver v19.30.1648.920

    10) Realtek ALC899 HD Audio Driver v6.0.1.8018

    11)
    - Intel Wireless Driver WLAN v19.40.0.3 / BT Driver v19.40.1702
    - 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) Synaptics Fingerprint Scanner Driver v5.5.204.24

    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.

    [​IMG]

    14) Intel Rapid Storage Technology v15.2.0.1020
    RAID Driver v15.2.0.1020

    Hi all,

    For some reason the European Clevo servers were working super fast today and I noticed there are some newer drivers available. All zips have been tested and work. Here they are:

    1. nVIDIA GeForce Drivers v10.18.13.6883 has been updated to nVIDIA GeForce Drivers 21.21.13.6926
    http://www.mediafire.com/download/o6byo95qy8rj13b/2_VGA_new.zip

    2. Control Center AP v5.0001.0.73 has been updated to Control Center AP 5.0001.0.83
    http://www.mediafire.com/download/8yslu0icqghmt8z/7_Control_new.zip

    3. Synaptics Touchpad Driver v19.3.4.14 has been updated to Synaptics Touchpad driver v.19.3.4.31
    http://www.mediafire.com/download/ix1szn4kn9i995n/5_Touchpad_new.zip


    Hope this is useful.

    Hi guys,

    It seems that the file named Control Center AP 5.0001.0.83 is not really updated and is still in version 5.0001.0.73 after setup.
    Did Clevo make a mistake?

    I've got a problem with the Control Center, because 1st, the CPU_DRAM_OC app cannot launch (it appears for 1sec in the task manager and then disappears), while the GPU OC utility does.

    The 2nd problem is that I needed the control center to adjust my fans behaviour regarding the temps. Is that normal that I can hear the fans on the right (gpu fans i think) when i'm just on the web . The overall fan management seems buggy, sometimes it's getting louder whereas i'm doing nothing needing processing power.

    Is there any other way to control the fans more efficiently? and is there any other way to make the CPU OC utility run without crashing immediately?

    Thanks for your answers

    Thanks, finally a legit version 83 download! I have heard talk of a version 88 floating around, I'll make sure to add it if I find it.

    According to @Prema the new .88 version solves some bugs from v.83. I had to go back to v.81 could not use .83 at all.

    Yes. .83 removed my CPU undervolt every cold boot so I had to reenable the UV every time. Once back to .81 it's keeping the UV even after cold boot. It also removed options from XTU. That was also back to normal with .81

    I have not found the newer version yet. Still on .81

    Did you download from ASIA server since the other USA and EUROPE are always late in uploading the correct file.

    When you download from ASIA server be sure to use a download manager. It's super slow. Like the old modem days! I'm downloading the .85 file now, only 4 hours left... :)

    The settings can make odd behavior when really it's just which profile you are on.

    However I would not like to assume just because mine works others are not having genuine issues.

    That looks awesome; however, do you know whether it's compatible with Win7? (Please don't blame me for using old operating system, I tried to use Win10 that came pre-installed, but I just couldn't stand it).

    It does, but I have not been having any issues with it. I'm able to change the settings in the bios and they stick.

    I'm using v88, I've found it had the least amount of issues of the v8 drivers. By that I mean the fans behave themselves, instead of ramping up at strange times. If you don't want to use XTU, you'll have to use v50. The version shipped with the laptop is probably reseller dependent.

    I think the default version in the Clevo Drivers disc is 81

    Still using V50 With mine. Haven't gotten around to testing V83 yet.

    .50 didn't work well with my P670RS, but .81, which comes with the system, seems to be OK, especially after I updated to the Sager BIOS.
