    I was wondering if anyone had them ?
    Is Prema still around? I don't see any movement over on his site.....I need help on this one and would appreciate any assistance here :))))))

    I have latest bios/ec installed, SAGER.

    I don't know if I can put clevo on it or not, so I haven't used the bios here VGA Bios Collection: Clevo GTX 580M 2048 MB | techPowerUp

    Can I just flash that one using the NVidia utility on the same site, off of a dos usb boot with a -6 and a y ?

    Just confirm all overrides with 'YES' and enjoy 3D :)

    Thanks Prema !

    I installed it, the 670m on my P170hm3 still shows up in device manager. How can I tell if it installed ?
    I am running laptop2go modded 314.22 NVidia drivers. What driver should I run?

    When I run Defiance now I still get the cursor surrounded by a black box on splash screen, in game it seems ok.
    Last night running old vbios it was extremely hot (85+ degrees) which it had rarely been before. All fans are working ok, so I turned on the F+1 and put a fan behind it and it was ok but felt hotter than normal.

    So you flashed the vBIOS and you mean 675M not 670M right? Try to Re-install the driver after the vBIOS flash...
