    Hi Folks,

    I have one of the earliest Clevo p370em with CFX 7970m .

    I am looking to update the GPU bios(es) so that i can have the FN+1 fan control option - which is NOT currently present on my machine.

    I was wondering if someone could point me to a link for this bios that i can install , safe in the knowledge, that i am unlikely to brick my cards.

    According to display properties my current 7970m bios is : BR42768.008


    Advice from someone with the same set up as me, that has flashed the GPU bios to a version that allows FN+1 functionality , would be much appreciated.

    Pij

    the fn+1 fan has nothing to do with the gpu vbios but just with your motherboard bios. I personally activated the fn+1 by flashing a prema bios , ofcourse this is on a p150em but he also made a bios for your model you can find here: P370EMx / NP9370 | Prema Mod

    Just flash that bios and you will have the full fan option( on fn + 9/fn + 1 depending on your keyboard layout and bios you select)
