    Not only that, I email eurocom recently and they quoted me $85 (USD) for the latest bios update. Insane.

    Sorry, but we have nothing to do with their firmware or the money they are taking from customer.
    I've send you the Prema Mod as PM. ENJOY! :)

    From what I have seen... The overpriced "unlocked" Eurocom Bios don't even give you maxed out performance from your notebook.

    Thank you so much Prema! I perfectly understood, it's a terrible practice I've never came across before.
    We need more people like you!

    Have a great day :)

    At least they can give you something. :confused:
    I am looking for an unlocked bios update (if someone see that somewhere) for the P751DM2G if it exist. 1.06.05 is mine.

    I have also contacted eurocom for unlocked bios for my p775tm1 - bought it from a friend, branded as PC Specialist Octane, but so far PC Specialist support worst ever - they told me they cant provide any drivers/firmware/updates as i do not have account with purchased laptop in their system, however provided all details such as s/n, id and so on.

    The eurocom quoted bios and it as it was 145 USD. However there are no any indications that it is @Prema bios - just " Unlocked System BIOS with Overclocking Capabilities"

    In my opinion it's kinda too much for bios update) So i was also wondering if it is same bios as Prema or just firmware with some unlocked menus..

    Prema mentioned it isn't his work, and rather primitive to the work he has done.

    When i bought mine, I. It was early 2018. And in my bios it's marked "prema" when i enter in.
    But my laptop is a 2016 model, skyx4e2. For the skyx4c I think it's different they don't have that bios anymore since they stopped the partnership.
    Prema which are your partners now?

    @Prema I have P157SM but when I insert an MSI GTX 1070 into my computer I get fans on full blast and loud beeps until shutdown. I suspect this could be resolved by having your latest BIOS/EC for the P157SM? I would gladly pay you for your services. I hope you see this soon, as I have a limited time to return my GPU if I can't get the card to work in my laptop. Thank you.

    Hello master Prema,
    Could you send me an updated modded version for my p157sma too?
    1.05.01 has been created for Win10 with better uefi boot and vbios+gop it seems.

    Thank you very much for everything you have done. Donations to you are never enough

    I would love, ( and be willing to show that appreciation in a tangible, money related way) an unlocked bios for both of my clevos, a p870tm-1 and a p650hp6

    Excuse me, can I ask you @Prema would you accept payment or any monetary compensation for your services rendered? I'm thinking of adapting a GTX1070m into my P150SM-A, which is now currently running a GTX980M, but I heard that I'll need to use your BIOS to make it work. As in no BIOS, no work. I've heard that you once offered your BIOS for free, but there was some sort of incident to which i'm not aware of, so now all the BIOS that you've done are all private. That is why I wanted to know if you're willing to accept some form of monetary compensation / payment, should people like me seek to find an updated unlocked BIOS from you.

    I would love to hear a reply from you.
    If there's any way to legitly pay for your services rendered for the BIOS, please do let me know. I'm willing to. Cheers.

    @Prema If there is a PremaMod BIOS for P157SM that is more recent than 1.03.04v2 then I would gladly pay for it. I am investigating whether an updated BIOS could help my computer detect the MSI GTX 1070 MXM card.

    Hello and good evening,

    is it possible to send me the modified BIOS for NVME support n170SD / XMG A705? That'll be extremely helpful. Thanks so much in advance.

    Hello All !

    I'm a happy owner of a clevo p150SM-A laptop.

    However I would like to unlock my mobo bios to fine tune my cpu and fan settings.

    I've tried to find Prema Bios on Prema website buut that is gone silent :(

    I've seen few treads about Prema has stopped working on custom Bios :(

    My question, did anybody saved any latest Prema Bios for the Clevo P150SM-A laptops ? I'm looking after one desperate to unlock the bios.

    Any help/support is appriciated !

    Thanks

    There is a fair amount of tuning available on the stock bios, have you exhausted that?

    @Prema I purchased a P870TM-G a while ago and at the time didn't know how limited the stock BIOS is, and I'm willing to compensate the work done for a proper BIOS.
    Please, PM me if you're able to help me out.

    Thanks in advance!

    Not yet, I was hoping to get a response from Prema and get his mod. I have 2 toddlers and a company to run so I only have so much spare time that I'd rather pay for a proper work someone already has done.

    Yes, that would require a modded vbios. Which I understand has also been done by The Man himself?

    I just tried to reach out, and see where it got me and if unlucky, back to Google stuff to get every bit out of my ~$4000 workhorse until I see what Ryzen 3rd gen is made of.

    It's my first Clevo ever, and when I made the purchase, I didn't know everything I know today. If I did, I'd have bought from a partner in the first place.

    That's my bad, thinking that I'd get all the keys to my desktop replacement :D

    Yes, and that's why I want to give the best for my horsey. And from what I've read, Prema is that for a Clevo because it's not just an unlock mod but the way these should ship in the first place. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I wouldn't know because never had that

    Hello prema
    I installed excellent mod of bios, in Clevo P771zn g sync. The problem is that I changed the board of the portable computer and lost the bios, besides to be able to install ssd m.2.
    It would appreciate if prema is possible to return to obtain mod bios.

    Hi Prema :)
    I remember correctly that the Dream Machines reseller was an official partner with Prema, but it turns out that it is not on the lists of official partners. That's why I'm asking you because my friend wants to order a Clevo P751TM1-G laptop.

    Hi, I am looking to get the BIOS for the Sager NP8454 (CLEVO PB51RF) laptop. I purchased this from GenTechPC and have it up and running now. Would love to get the Prema BIOS. Do I need to donate since I didn't get it pre-installed through a sponsored provider? No problem doing that. Please let me know! thanks

    Prema has concentrated on the desktop CPU machines more than the mobile ones due to a design with larger design tolerances on power and cooling.

    Hello @Prema, i have a LDLC (Clevo W550EU) and my bios is stuck on 1.02.06 but my EC is on 1.02.07.
    It's possible to have your modded bios version? (sorry for my bad english, i'm french)
    Thank you my friend.

    Hello everyone !
    I've been looking for a modded BIOS for a Clevo P150SM / P15SM (that I got on eBay for a really good price :vbbiggrin:), especially for Prema's modded BIOS. However I can't seem to find any of those after searching for a while. I heard it could improve fans management/noise, that would be helpful since I noticed the fans are a bit too loud when gaming or doing intensive tasks. Apparently it seems to be a problem for a lot of Clevo laptops. I would also be interested in upgrading the laptop GPU to a GTX 980M. I've read that some people claims a modded Prema BIOS is necessary to get such a card to work, some others claims it's not (and that just an .inf mod would work).

    The laptop has an i7-4700MQ and GTX 770M

    So I was wondering if someone knows where it would be possible to get those BIOS files for this model. Or maybe if @Prema himself wouldn't mind to give me/PM me the files, if it's not a problem of course.

    Thank you in advance !

    Hi community,
    I hope I have positioned my request in the right topic if not be forgiving it is my first contribution.
    I bought a used XMG P505 (I7 5700HQ, 16GB 1866Mhz DDR3, 1Tb SSD, GTX 970M 3Gb) for a really good price.
    After thorough cleaning and applying liquid metal, the temperatures are really great.
    After 2 hours of playing with high load I have 72 degrees CPU temperature (-85mV) and 68 degrees on the GPU.

    I would now like to overclock the graphics card by more than 135Mhz. Even at + 135Mhz there are no problems and I have read several times
    that some of them should be + 300Mhz inside without any tension.
    Unfortunately I can not find a free bios. Many write about their great experiences with the Prema Bios but I can't find that anywhere to download.

    With NVFlash I could already save my graphic bios and edit them with the Maxwell Tweaker, but I can't get it flashed anymore
    which, according to some people, is due to the fact that my GPU is soldered and that graphics bios are inside the normal bios.
    Does any of you have any tips or sources?
    Best wishes

    Usually you would unpack the bios, insert the updated vbios and then repack. Power limits are worth looking into at that point.

    The only way to get it to boot is a modified BIOS. Not quite sure what you were trying without it since it's not supported by the stock firmware.

    i modified the stock Eurocom bios since my last post and added the Nvme dxe(s). works great now. also changed out some microcodes to mess with eratta on the xeon v3.

    i figured if it were a decent laptop for the time it would have already came with prema bios from eurocom or atleast have bootable nvme support since it has the slots in general. only time i had to manualy add the nvme modules was for my old msi big bang xpower II which didnt have a nvme slot in general, and alienware aurura r4.

    issue resolved for what i needed.

    That generation it was optional from Intel and came in very late.

    I have p751zm with some old premamod bios - should it "see" M2 SSD? All the questions I've found are related to booting from M2 SSD, but mine isn't visible anywhere, it is not recognised by the BIOS at all. When was the M2 support added? @Prema is there any chance you could send me the most recent premamod BIOS for my computer, with M2 support added? I'd like to make it my system drive. Thanks!

    @Prema Can you send me P370EM bios? I've bought 2x8GB Kingston 2133mhz sticks and without your bios my laptop won't boot. Checked ram on Dell M4700 and it worked. Thanks!
