P870tm-g bios update

[Afmatei1981]

Good moorning, i have a clevo p870tm-g (from pcspecialist but i am not the original owner and i cannot get in touch with him),with an i5-8400 and want to upgrade to a i5-9600k but i get a black screen, so i need a bios update for it, can please someone help me with the needed bios files to update and instructions because psspecialist told me to contact clevo directly but got no answer from them,thank you

You're in an awkward position unfortunately. I do know that PCS won't support a second-hand computer unless the original owner transfers the warranty and I can understand why that is. The Clevo download site also doesn't offer a BIOS for your model. I do have a link that might help but I'm reluctant to post it here, so I've PM'd you with it. Since you don't have a warranty you probably have little to lose...

I suspect it's the same link I've DM'd them with

The problem is that it's a two-part upgrade that involves the right level of EC for the BIOS and being done in the correct order with the correct versions of each.

Ok, so apparently the laptop does not support 9th gen cpu, only 8th gen, so can I buy a i5-8600k and return the 9600k? Would it be just plug and play

There’s be zero benefit to the 8600 over the 8400, why are you so intent on upgrading?

 

[Afmatei1981]

Because I feel like it is bottlenecks my system when playing games in vr

Its not the CPU that’s the bottleneck, it’s the GPU

What GPU does it have?

 

[Afmatei1981]

I have a gtx 1080

I have a gtx 1080

And what headset are you using? And which graphical output are you using?

 

[Afmatei1981]

I have a htc vive cosmos, even on low settings in some games I get stuttering, but not always, I was hopping that a cpu upgrade will solve it a bit

And what game specifically are you trying?

I think it might help if you listed the full spec of the laptop so we can see clearly what you have. [emoji846]

I5-8400, gtx 1080, 12gb of ram, 144hz screen, 330w psu 500gb ssd and 1tb hdd

All I want us to upgrade the cpu, most of the games i play are running just fine, sometimes I have stuttering in euro truck simulator 2 running it in vr but this happens since I am using the vive cosmos headset, before with the lenovo explorer was better, but since i got a good deal on the i5-9600k is not bad to upgrade the cpu as it is superior to the 8400 and it can be overclocked as well if i need to( i do not really oc the cpu's), but i need to flash a new modes bios to support this cpu

If you're not going to answer the questions, there's little we can do to help.

I'll leave it here. The CPU isn't your issue.

The resolution depends of the game, i am pretty sure the you can handle most of the games but i am not sure about the cpu, and the 9600k should give me a solid 10_15fps more without oc, at least the benchmarks on the web are saying this, like i sayd it is all down to some games I play in vr that is way a bit of more power will be needed

Of course you’re using userbenchmark or cpubenchmark which have no relevance to anything.

But its impossible to help without simple answers.

In have answered already, it depends of the game, for example if I want to play my pc games in vr desktop the performance is crap, on the pc i get 60fps but in the headset maybe 30fps, most of the vr games run fine, hi Alex on max i cannot run because i get low fps, so i need to turn it down to medium, same with project cars ,

I didn't ask anything about that?

On full he i get stutters on euro truck simulator 2 if I run it in vr, but it was much better when I was using the Lenovo explorer
