    Hello. This could be the best upgrade ever in MXM terms if someone can help me. I tested the RTX 4070 MXM and RTX 3080 (X-VSION) without any heatsinks to see if it displays something on the X170SM-G. Nothing. Backlight mod is on. I can change the brightness of the display but there's nothing on the screen. Both of the cores are cold in the touch. These GPU worked in a P775TM1, M17X R4 120Hz and P870TM1 (Also the Precision M4800 with the 4070). These P775 and P870 work with any RTX 20XX and 30XX from Clevo. So they use eDP in DP_D like on the X170SM-G, meaning they are electrically compatible. So my 4070, 4090 are working in my P775TM1. The RTX 3080 Clevo also works in my P775TM1. So what's the catch there? If SM/KM Clevo cards work in P870/P775, in reverse, why can't standard MXM cards work in the X170? Even my Quadro P3000 UEFI doesn't display. The laptop refuses to boot with it but with the RTX 4070 and 3080 it boots (no display). That could actually help me answer some questions: Did any of you try a standard MXM 3.0/3.1 card like a GTX 1070, GTX 980M UEFI, Quadro P3000, P4000, P5000 in the X170 laptop? If none of you can't get these cards to work in the SM-G then what's wrong? Help please. Will the KM accept the standard RTX, Quadro better than the SM-G? This X170SM motherboard I was using has an issue with the dual channel and it's coming from the PCH, so are the PCIE PEG lines impacted? It displayed with an RTX 3080 Clevo before.. I hope I didn't waste tons of money in the heatsink because of that...

    Lossless scaling at least helps the 21X to stay alive. It also helps utilize the the second graphics card to some degree. Thought I'd share that with people that own the Acer Predator 21X @Zeck @ElLoco93

    Hi I see in your computer list you have a M17X R2 with a newer quadro card. will a dell 970M card work in a M17X R2?

    I have both. Samsung tablet which is good for youtube stuff and a Dell laptop for real work.

    Hello. It would be better to get the RTX 3080 to run in a nice 120Hz eDP laptop such as the M17X R4. I got one on mine 120Hz in UEFI. Sadly due to the AVX2 missing set on the core i7 3rd gen, it won't be wise to use these Ada and Blackwell cards anymore. However these cards would be good for some Dell, HP and Clevo laptops! (AVX2 laptops with better single core and eDP display) 4090 is cheaper than the 5080. 5090 is unknown to work on eDP laptops.

    Hello. I tried the RTX 4070, RTX 3080 from X-VSION with the backlight mod v2. Backlight is enabled and brightness could be controlled. But, both of the GPUs are cold, not hot. The laptop boots but displays nothing. However these GPUs work in my M17X R4 120Hz and P775TM1. The VBIOS is in UEFI and the DP/EDP are set in DP_D. What is the issue? I use 1.07.04 bios. For the other laptops I have, they use the default BIOS, no modded ones. I tried to clear the BIOS settings by holding the power button for 60s with the CMOS battery being unplugged. I tried to do FN+D+Power. Nothing. However this laptop had a Clevo RTX 3080 MXM and it worked, displayed. Or is the motherboard 100% dead? Since the dual channel on this doesn't work. Can the PCH impact the PCIE PEG functionality? Did anyone try a Clevo GTX MXM or a standard MXM 3.0 card for testing? If yes, did it work? Will a X170KM motherboard work better? Why did the 3080 Clevo MXM work but not the 3080 from X-VSION? Makes no sense.

    Then flashing another BIOS would be your best bet. But it is a problem since the system doesn't detect it... You could try your luck and flash a vBIOS with the corresponding software, despite the GPU isn't recognized. Backup your original first and try another vBIOS

    Unfortunately I am referring to both The forum is not what it once was, modding cutting edge laptops is a dying hobby. As you are aware newer laptops are not so modular with upgradeable components. Although some of us are into retro No true DTR for some time now

    am i assuming from the diagram above no interposer board is needed? just looking at sources for the cables at present. LVDS elitebook ones seem viable on ebay.

Edit: Tested the RTX 3080 MXM from X-VSION (works in my M17X R4 120Hz), same issue, no display. The 3080 still works in the M17X R4 120Hz after testing it on the X170SM. But... The Quadro K1100M from an eDP M4800 gets hot! But no display either! Maybe due to HBR1 limits? (UEFI, eDP on D, HDMI doesn't work). Yes the eDP M4800 works with the RTX 4070 MXM...

    I always preferred convertibles/transformers, so one could be a tablet or a laptop when I want to. The problem is finding the hardware that has tolerable performance for its dimensions. I haven't found myself a device that is not larger than 11" in size, thin and has an AMD Ryzen inside. Had to resort to 14" convertible which Dell Inspiron 7445 2-in-1 is.

    As of a few hours ago, it appears that the custom air RTX3080 heatsink for P775TM1 is no longer available - only the air/water version is now available: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005007688521117.html Well, it was overpriced anyway. I am waiting for a RTX3080 to arrive within the following days, so I am exploring alternative options. Are there any measurements-detailed instructions on how to modify the current 31-P77FN-401 heatsink (i.e. by drilling)? Any other options for heatsink mounting? How bad is it if I do not use any screws on the GPU side? If anyone knows of a modified 31-P77FN-401 heatsink that is compatible with RTX3080 and is available for sale within the EU please keep me informed.

    There's plenty of storage space; why would you spend money on such unnecessary things? I said the exact same thing when I saw it. 🙂

    Are you referring to the whole forum or just the discussion of Clevo modding and stuff? I know Clevo has stopped making the crazy dtr type laptops:(

    Hello. I got the RTX 4070, 4080 and 4090 to work in the P775TM1. Yes I'm late to announce it but they work with the backlight mod v2. No bios mods. Got 16700 in TimeSpy graphics for the 4080 Got 19800 to 20100 in TimeSpy graphics for the 4090. Running at 150W with the custom 2 in 1 air heatsink from Cicichen. Now I'll try to get the 40XX cards to work in the X170KM-G (PCie gen 4 + better single core)

    Hard to keep up these days, so many changes. mVolt 0.33+ add many new features, including fan controls, new System Clock and Video Clock Offsets. No idea what they are for. Also have a new Xbar Ratio that allows even higher Xbar according to some. https://github.com/b00nz/mVolt/ @Mr. Fox Sorry to hear about your fuses, but glad it was just that and you'll have them fixed up with higher amp versions soon.

    not to be difficult, UK users cant see IMGUR pictures, so all i see is a blue block. Awesome progress though. Shame the 8570W journey ends. Did anyone uncover the HP LVDS cable pinout diagram? i seem to recall its in an older post (i'll go hunt for it. Happy to try recreate the cable, just need to get a bundle of LDVS to sacrifice 😄
  24. Mr. Fox
    I do not disagree. It should be priced under $200 or not at all. But, less money compared to their other offerings. Their new loss leader for losers. The notion that they would sell a 4GB version is beyond laughable and worthy of harsh ridicule.
  25. Papusan
    For less money? Depends on the eyes that see. Still heavly overpriced. Should be more like "more garbage for more money"😎 PC Partner warns of rising GPU prices and budget card shortages — analyst suggests makers are hiking prices beyond memory costs The question is whether price increases have benefited anyone beyond those early in the supply chain. Jon Peddie, who has been tracking the graphics industry for about 25 years, does not seem to believe that all the graphics card prices are due to increased costs. "[This all does] not necessarily equal an increase in profits, although I suspect it does, and the AIB suppliers are taking advantage of all of the press reports on higher memory prices and shortages to raise AIB prices more than the delta in memory costs," Peddie said.

    Hi, I am not planning to sell separately the components, sorry.

    That little zip when the fans spin up can happen and doesn’t necessarily mean the fan is failing, especially if everything else is running normally. I’d keep an ear on it for now, but if the noise gets louder, turns into grinding/rattling, or starts happening constantly, I’d definitely use the warranty rather than risk it.
