Solution
You can try googling the file name - just be careful about where you download from if you get it from somewhere besides TI. You might get more than you were expecting.
To overclock a laptop, you'll need to find a custom BIOS that's compatible with your model. Just be aware that flashing a custom BIOS will most likely void your warranty, and there's usually not much headroom, especially limited by the cooling capacity. Basically, don't expect to see results like you can get on a desktop.
 


um explain to me the steps of doing this i wanted to overclock the gpu not cpu
 
Doesn't usually matter which you want to overclock as laptop BIOS is usually locked. You can test it by downloading GPU overclocking software like EVGA PrecisionX 16. If it doesn't work then you'll need to find a custom BIOS. What is your specific laptop model #?

Prema Mod BIOS and vBIOS are as good as it gets for Clevos. There's a link to Tech Inferno down below, but I'd like to repeat - this will void your warranty. You do this at your own risk. If you go for it, make sure you follow the instructions very carefully as a misstep can result in a bricked laptop. I would suggest that you read through the tech info and the forums enough that you're thoroughly familiar with the process and the errors people have experienced with it before you commit.
