    Just about to update my p370em , 7970m CFX with Prema mod so i can get the FN+1 functionality to turn on fans -

    However before i do i just wanted to make sure 100% i flashed the right one

    Its the V2 version (See link) but am unsure what 2T stands for - Do i just go for the vanilla one or perhaps the 2T applies to my model (Unfamiliar with this term)

    P370EMx / NP9370 | Prema Mod

    T2 is slower RAM speed to support 2133Mhz etc...just pick the regular version according to your keyboard layout.

    ENJOY! :)

    Cheers Prema - went smoothly - like the splash screen.

    Now can keep the temps right down on the 7970m .

    Having an early p370em , is there any benefit to upgrading the vbios to a newer version for the 7970m cfx ?

    Hey dear Prema,

    I have a Clevo P370EM with 2x 680M SLI and I updated to your modded bios
    version 1.02.08 PM v2 (date 07/01/2013) successfully.

    The FN + 9 key functionality is working correctly, however, the following features are not:

    - CPU Overclocking (3720QM+)

    >> I don't have the CPU adjustment menu in my BIOS? I'm running a i7 3840QM CPU.

    - iGPU Overclocking

    >> I don't need this so this is not an issue.

    Adjustable CPU TDP, BCLK & RAM Speed & Timings

    >> I don't have the CPU adjustment menu in my BIOS?

    Can you please check this in some way?

    Thanks!

    These features do work, but are not available from BIOS level. You need Intel Extreme Tuning Utility software installed on your system to adjust these settings.
