Looking for premamod for p157sm due to fan being limited

Hello, this is my first post here after a lot of reading on the subject and i hope you can help me guys

The fan speed in my clevo p157sm seems to be limited to a 35% of its full speed, my guess is due to the amd driver, the graphics card is a Radeon HD8970m and the laptop is running Windows 8.1

I would like to try to solve it with the Prema mod for my bios since i have read it allows for a better/manual fan control allowing me to put it manually to 100% and it seems that the correct way to get the modded bios is to politely ask to @Prema if he will be kind enough enough to share it with me.

I would be very gratefull if he or someone can share it.

Thak you!

 

Fn+1 should work, have you tried pressing it?

 

Wrong, there is no fan control on your model, trust me I have the same as you do. Try FN+1 (not F1) and see if it does any better.

 

It doesn't change anything :s

The Fn+1 combionation doesn't seem to change anything, when i stress the GPU, the fan goes up to 2400 revolutions, and HWinfo says it is at 35%, can you tell me what speed should i expect at 100%?

 

Try another stock BIOS and EC, my XMG version of the notebook had no FN +1 feature either due to their EC firmware for some reason disabling it.

 

I had the XMG version too, i have flashed the same BIOS and EC from Sager i guess and now the Fn+1 woks like a charm, whith that and the liquid metal i can play now in the mid 50sº to low 70sº which is nice enough for this laptop!

Should i mark this as solved somehow?

Thank you very much!

 

We don't have that feature as far as I remember, just let the thread sink into the depths of necroland where someone in a couple of years will gravedig it back up for no other reason other than to make people spam "NECRO" and make a mod close it.

 

Does not tend to happen round here.

 

After some more testing i have found not only that i can now use FN+1 to go full speed on the fan, but also that i don't really need it because with the new flashed BIOS and EC the fan profile seems to work properly, 100% fan speed automatically kicks in once i reach mid 70'sº which didn't happened with XMG bios that apparently never goes further tan 2400rpm.

@Danishblunt a little off-topic, i will maybe open a thread on it later, you say you have or had the P157SM, have you successfully used Windows 10 on it? Everytime y try it i have random kernel power errors followed by spontaneous shutdowns, also intense lag on resizing windows, have you encountered any of this symptoms on it?

Maybe i should try with the new BIOS/EC

Thank you

 

When installing W10 immiediately disable bluetooth and fingerprint drivers, then install the newest one you can find and the BSOD should stop. Mine would freeze as well on stock W10 drivers.
