    Hey Pheonix I prefer to keep matters like that private between myself and who ever I support so I wont be joining this particular campaign, I have always suggested to people to leave something if I direct them to his website and will continue to do so.

    I do like the community banding together to support someone who has given so much :)

    BGA checking in. In fact I'm planning on buying a new P650RG with bga but will still have the prema bios.

    Nothing wrong with that, but like HIDEvolution would be the only group getting your actual name if you wanted, Phoenix can just keep your username.

    After I donated, Ted e-mailed me to ask what my username on NBR/T|I is or if I wanted to be anonymous. They are not disclosing your name or username unless you choose to.

    Yep, that's why I've donated about 10% from the total cost from each of my two laptops (in the past). He really deserves it. :D

    Every time I buy a laptop and there's a Prema mod available for it, I will donate 10% of the cost of the laptop to him. :)

    For those that don't know why some of us are such big fans of @Prema, press F2 on your Clevo and poke around in the BIOS.

    Then watch this video.

    I bet he tries to make alienware great again ;)

    Yeah my 680m died two weeks ago, using a heatgun I managed to prolong its life by some days. I'm totally on the Pascal train and ordered a affordable used (Dell) K5000m in the meantime!

    Also donated to prema as well as svl7 in the past, when I get my next paycheck I'll chime in here too :)

    Alienware is second rate now and I am glad I ditched them in favour of the clevo camp.

    I would have love to donate as I have much appreciation for Prema and his work, but i have never used a a Prema bios or even a clevo machine in the past. What i dont understand is why people who have benefited from his work are not coming forward. Maybe people dont realize what difference it makes.
    For example, I have been using chastity's moded vbios (and her suggested bios version) for my G73JH since the time i got that laptop and i think it is a major factor why my laptop hasn't got the issues other people had with this model. If it wasn't for her, my laptop would have died long time ago.

    Hey everyone! Just returned from a very long trip...

    When people told me about this 'idea' I had no clue that it has already manifested in such a wonderful way.

    You guys are simply amazing! :)

    THANKS TO ALL OF YOU! SLI, here we come... ;)

    P.S:

    Just went through the premamod blog-stats and, yeah, it's been a while for us in the land of the blue-sky (藍天 aka CLEVO):

    You deserve it mate. I donated to prema not so long ago but will make another donation via this thread once I've been paid if it's still running (if not I'll just do it via his website again)

    it's running until the thread is closed. Making donations here is better as this will be used towards Prema's new system from all of us and HIDevolution

    I don't work for them :rolleyes: I live in Dubai and have purchased multiple systems from them :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    HIDevolution's donation comes in the form of providing Prema with the new Clevo P870DM refresh laptop. They will provide the base system and our donations go towards suping it up with the latest specs :rolleyes:

    First base is definitely a second GPU to go SLI!

    Never owned an SLI system before so looking forward to be able to recover bricks during Pascal development without having to re-route and socket the vBIOS chips like before... :)

    Also have an HTC Vive and NVIDIA does push VR SLI support in AA+ stuff...so yeah! :D

    Those would come last on my list...

    First those things that are a headache to change later:

    - SLI GPU & cooling setup
    - 4K/120Hz-ish screen

    If funds allow then some 3200Mhz 32/64GB-ish RAM...
    A man can dream... :eyeroll:

    Yes that's what's mentioned into post 1 of this thread bro. You send your payment to HIDevolution's account directly with a note (Prema Donation)

    I don't take any donations myself that's for HIDevolution since they are handling this gift.

    PS: you cannot PM me. I can only start a PM with someone.

    I understood that perfectly well, what I meant before was sending funds without being logged in to PayPal myself. Anyway, I recoverd my old credentials and it doesn't matter anymore ;)

    Oops, I did i typo in the donation to [email protected], I sent it yesterday. I don't think you counted it because the total sum should be a little bit higher. I accidently wrote perma donation in the comments section, instead of prema donation. Also sent an email to [email protected]. You might have not received it because my email address looks like a spam mail account. Also had a typo to perma donation instead of prema donation. Could you please sort that out for me?
