    Hello im new in this forum and a new clevo user i have some problems and questions if you can help me i would be very thankful.

    Specs:

    17.3" N173HGE-E11

    5700hq

    960m 2gb

    Intel wlan 7265

    alc269 audio codec

    elan mousepad

    1x sata for hdd

    1x m.2 sata

    Photo of the device: http://puu.sh/m2BAw/90ab35a4b4.jpg

    yeah it's dusty [​IMG]

    So i found prema mod thread and i couldnt find my clevo stock model anywhere i want to know if there is a bios mod for my model.

    Also there is a program called control center with the drivers and if i dont install i cant play games. 960m doesnt seem to ramp up when i dont install control center funny part is they give this as Hotkey program. Is there anyway to fully use my laptop without installing this crap. Another thing is sometimes when fan control is set to auto it doesnt ramp down the fans when im not using anything and temps are low but when i set turbo and back to auto for a sec it returns to slow fan speeds.

    One more thing there is strange thing with Autocad program when i use it with battery, program lags a lot. It shows graphic card in hw acceleration intel hd even though it uses 960m and while i use i checked gpu-z card doesnt ramp up its speed it stays around 33mhz core clock it but normally it can go up to 200~mhz core clock speeds while on battery. My old laptop with 630m runs Autocad flawlessly on battery.

    Ask me if any other info is needed.

    Thank you

    Did you try speccy or msinfo32.exe?

    I highly recommend installing the drivers for your Clevo - they make them for a reason, so you can use them.

    That ALMOST looks like a P770ZM.

    Also note that all my Clevo models from different resells had the original Clevo sticker underneath along with the original Clevo S/N and model number. Maybe yours is just like mine and the reseller didn't remove it from the bottom cover.

    I get my drivers from here: http://www.sagernotebook.com/drivers.php .

    I wonder if the drivers from other vendors would work, since some update the drivers and some do not.
