    Hello ^^

    Clevo P651RP6-G (Hyperbook SL502 VR) - Intel i7 6700HQ and GTX 1060 (MB Series P65xRP, ME FW Version 11.0.18.1002, BIOS Version 1.05.10 and KBC/EC Firmware Revision 1.05.08)

    I have a problem with XTU on my laptop. I can't use profiles, I can create one but after i can't use it, also after restart It can reeboot twice and every time after reboot i have set stock settings and a notification after run a XTU.

    There is a way to repair it / fix it or no ? Also if I will install Prema BIOS i will have this problem solved ?

    Can you please follow my signature and try my Control Station?
    It includes a tab called "Power Modes", enable it in the Settings tab.
    Let me know if those 4 modes is enough for what you are trying to achieve.

    I think it is. Hyperbook can't even give me bios updates to install, so I asked them that if you can't send me it so maybe i will visit you and you will do this -> I was there and they said that i have the newest version haha xD

    C6 is the latest one.

    Ok. Maybe you can update to latest MEFW using Prema's ME 11 Tool.
    John at Obsidian: is it safe to update ME FW to latest version? I'm not familiar with steps to update Prema BIOS.
    Add/Use TS instead of XTU.

    I don't have Prema BIOS. I have Clevo/Hyperbook one. I will contact Prema, hope that someone will help me.

    What does it mean "TS" ?

    Control Station is just that panel, the circles in the top will not work unless you install them (they are different apps that can be found in my signature), but please notice are not free, only Control Station and Keyboard LED are free, so i would focus first on solving your Undervolt issue. And if you sort out WHY your XTU is not working then you can just use Control Station profiles and you are all good.

    Basically, Control Station is just an interface to control XTU (you need to have it installed) and it can kill the XTU service after applying values (that´s the stop XTU service checkbox), the advantage of Control Station is that it allows for Power Modes profiles, and that´s it for now.

    ME is one thing, BIOS is another.
    You can indeed update the ME, just follow Prema thread, all the instructions are there, very easy process.
    BIOS version 1.05.10 is indeed the latest for the P650RP6.
    Are you using other software like Throttlestop? Because XTU can go crazy when you have multiple apps like that. Usually disabling them and Loading Setup Defaults will clear that up.

    I´m about to release yet another cool feature for Control Station!
    The ability to automatically change to Battery mode when you disconnect from AC ;)
    Update rolling out in 10 minutes.
