BIOS Update for Deputy P40

[hamid35]

Hello everyone

From the zip package 00_Bios_Crawler_E40_Deputy_P40.zip, I tried to upgrade the pc BIOS by installing the inf 1 by 1 with reboot between each (1.07.09RME2/1.07.05ME2), but the BIOS manager at boot via F2 remains in version 1.07.09RME1/1.07.05ME1). However, the firmware in the device manager (firmware line in the tree) is 1.07.09RME2.

I've already upgraded my BIOS (Dell/HP/Lenovo/Acer) and each time it's done after a complete reboot of the PC.

My question is: how can I update the BIOS at PC startup so that the BIOS is perfectly up to date, independently of Windows (via Insyde tool, for example)?

Thanks in advance

Version Windows pro 11 22H2 (22621.2283)

Hi @hamid35 ,

if the issue is still present I´d be interested in the 8-digit MSN (3003xxxx) number, which is printed on the backsite of the lower case of your laptop.

Please also describe step by step the way you took when executing the update so that we´re able to ivestigate potential errors.

Cheers

There is nothing old or wrong with a one year old bios. Only if you experience faults or crashes or other disturbances, then a bios update would be of use.

So do you have problems with ypur PC? Please name them..

Hi Daddle,

Thankyou for your swift reply, I’ve just received my new laptop and want to make sure everything is upto date before I finalise my install as is good practice generally. No problems to report so far 👍

in this case I can offer you a current Bios version V1.07.09RME2/1.07.05ME2 , whcih can be downloaded via the MEDION service section

silly question but ive got into my own head and cant work out which is newer? i have control centre package v 6.009 installed is that older or newer than the one on the downloads section for the p40 defender that says version 6.0.4.2, mine on the laptop is older right? any help would be a prreciated

Hi @ANDYDENIS1979 ,

I unfortunately have no sample in hand,but suppose the 6.0.4.2 to be the recent one. Don´t forget to uninstall the old CC version, bevor installing the new one.

Hi,

I hope this message is interpreted the right way and not as a complaint but an observation to better an already very good product. Very happy with my machine but frustrated a little by buying a unlocked sku cpu to not have any control over the cpu in the bios as we all know the 13th gen processors run hot and some manufactures over volt the cpu's by default as is heavily documented on youtube over the past couple of years. and again in the past week.

i am a system builder since early 2000's and love to make my machines as fast as possbile but effienciently as possible and cool and quiet. I would like to know why this machine that is built by a custom manufacturer doesnt have cpu control in the bios to allow for undervolting for obvious reasons considering this is an unlocked sku cpu?

Again not a complaint but i didnt for one minute expect not to have the option when buying this laptop to control the cpu in the bios when buying an unlocked intel cpu. gpu already undervolted and performing exceptionally well, this allows more thermal headroom to cool the cpu but unable to control cpu voltage as you should on an unlocked cpu to bring temps down. When will there be a bios update to solve this issue please? the reason i ask is due to testing is the temps get very high very quickly and then the cpu thermal throttles with excessive voltages applied to the cpu and i feel this shouldnt happen or be the case. With a little tuning this could be avoided and have a stable machine that doesnt thermal throttle and does hit its boosts without the performance hit of the advertised speeds. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated in helping to reduce this issue.

and my earlier question about the control centre that has me questioning myself is because on the pic attached, wierd or what? on task bar says its 6.009 update for download says 6.0.4.2 which sounds like an updated version; but when i come to install the package, see attached?
