Thank you both. I might have to do both things (lubricate to buy some time and then replace).

 

@Bidelloman In your post, https://notebooktalk.net/topic/125-official-clevo-x170km-g-thread/?do=findComment&comment=54716, you mention "taobao fans". I can't find anything online about those, can you please share a link to what you're talking about?

you can use fan from x170km or x170sm (fans are same). on ebay you can bought heatsink used, on aliexpress also can find heatsink and fans separately

yes, the ITE will be replaced and programmed.✌️

Did you check dump or cutting adress from bios? when i replaced New chip i dont flash anything (because not have programm tool for ite microcontrollers) and it working.

My KM-G computer broke down. After turning on the computer, there is no keyboard lighting and no image. It has been tested, the CPU and GPU circuits are intact, but the keyboard (KBC) is not okay. The chip needs to be replaced and programmed first. I hope it will be fixed and usable again. This is not a small time... Has anyone experienced this before? 🤔😥

on my 170km shorted power bricks even plug in - i changed ITE5770 multicontroller - this is weak point. about your problem - i dont know but i think it can be Multicontroller

Hi Guys,

I have a PCSpecialist's Clevo x170km-g with RTX 3080 and i9-11900K on bios v1.07.07

 

I tried to ask on pc specialist forums with no luck, I want to know if someone managed to update the bios to v8 or xmg v9 without issues.

They said that different SIs makes different configurations that makes different SIs bioses incompatible....

 

It seems strange to me... I hope you can help!

 

Thanks

KD

i updated my Origin pc 17x  to XMG bios (on xmg site ) following the instructions - no any issues, but this bios cannot be unlocked in future and i flash clevo stock bios back (not EON, because i not backuped it)

Thank you @ssj92 I removed the 572 driver and installed 419 and it correctly swapped to the p4000 for benchmarking and games. Graphics score in firestrike went from 5615 to 12310 which is a significant improvement. CPU should be arriving today so I will rerun with that. @kela-slk could you explain how you overclocked your 3740qm in the bios? I was under the impression that you had to have an XM chip to overclock in the M17xr4. 

 

In the bios there is a setting for PowerXpress Setting - should that be set to Full dGPU PowerOff Dynamic Scheme?

 

Also has anyone found updated fans that are compatible than the originals, seems like there might have been some advancements made since the laptop was released. The RAM is also DDR3 1333 - would it make much of a difference to upgrade that as well? Thanks again for your assistance and feedback. 

all 37xx 38xx  has a partially unlocked core clock multiplier, allowing up to 4 turbo bins to be applied across its existing turbo behavior.

If all turbo bins are utilized, these would be the new maximum core clock frequencies:
• 1 core: 4.1 GHz
• 2 cores: 4.0 GHz
• 3+ cores: 3.9 GHz

Memory i use DDR3L  Gskill 2133Mhz )))

best first pugrade CPU to most supported than 2 -nd gen. maybe problems in intalled cpu. On my m17X r4 i use P3200 without issues. 60hz lvds lcd. SG Mode bios boot. cpu is 3740qm overclocked to 4Ghz

enabled and working

Who was able to run rtx2080 on x170km? I bought heatsink from SM version and put in rtx2080 8gb- laptop is startup, loading windows, but video card is not visible in device manager, not recognised, and has PCI error, cannot install any video drivers because not visible in device manager, only AIDA64 in PCI video show RTX2080. 

Anyone have solved this issue (acpi error) ? 

TESLA m6 CANNOT WORK IN AW 17 r1! I confirm that, not detected in Bios at any reason (flashed 10 vbioses from tesla\gtx980m\quadro m5000m). Do not try. 0 results

i have 1080 Aetina too, tested on AW m17xr4 LVDS 60hz optimus enable (SG mode) and working but without extra power drop core and memory clock, because max detectrd TDP 3sec than drop - is 150W and without EXTRA power this card cannot working! And this card cannot working as PEG, because its GFX accelerator, as Tesla M6... 

hi. nobody not reply because nobody now doesnt use old hot and not reliable, and all owners already use Maxwell or Pascal video cards which not have problem with cooling VRM (much colder than old 675m)

I bought NVMe adapter and Samsung 990PRO ( because it should be faster than my SSD ) but version with heatsink and... 

 

 

it's little to high 🙂

 

I decide to take the radiator out and try to put it back in, but I'll wait for a precision "star" screwdriver. I'll spend the next 3 months in the hospital and I'll wait about a week for any parts or tools when my family comes to visit.

 

Now my M18xR2 is my media and entertainment center 🙂

 

 

 

 

hi. i see ithis is cheap china MXM adapter , did it support boot mode OS in bios or this mxm adapter working only as secondary SSD ?

Yes, i flash - your bios , but on my 870km flashed bios not supported SLI mode... I cannot enable it.

FOR MASTER GPU 

nvflash -i 0 -6 GP104.rom

 

 

second GPU in SLI systems

nvflash -i 1 -6 GP104.rom

what model your laptop? 870dm3\km\tm?

Just flash your vbios - do not have SLI configuration in Nvidia Panel... Disappear settings. Only PhysX available settings, i cannot activate both cards 😞

Reinstall Win 10 - not available SLI menu

Inslall Win 11- same as Win 10...

I have this now, flash old (OEM) 86.04.56.00.2B 

your is for SLI? Gsync support?

flash this vbios for each cards but before do it keep a vbios backup file in a usb  

GP104.rar 150.26 kB · 2 downloads

Gop higher than 30006? Because i have unlocked bios ported from TM (maybe prema or Dsanke) and need newer GOP version vbios

the vbios of each cards is the same ?

Of course same 😉

try each card separately without the other in a master slot without OC to determine the broken card 

if you do all of this and two cards works great on a master slot and the problem remains the same , can you send a pic of the cards in their ports with the thermal pads on them ? and a pic of the heatsink, of course without thermal pads on the copper side ?

I've already tried. Separately working perfectly, all tests passed. Thermal pads is new, thermal paste is Arctic cooling MX6. No overheating, all need smd components are cooling, i inspected and checking few times. Its not heating. I think its problem with synchronization both cards and video output signal on LCD, but cannot check its video card issues or mobo issue... Need another 100% working p870dm3/km/tm for test cards, but in my country this is unreal. Video card bioses are flashing on another versions (g sync/ no g sync, gop vers 30006 low and high) - not solved issue, no change working status.

Maybe the sli cable is broken try another one 

Bought new SLI cable - no success. In window mode stress tests 2 cards in SLI working perfectly, but if stress test in Full Screen mode - after 2-3sec artifacts and black screen, if waiting 40-50 sec with combination driver reload (i hear sounds with black screen) - laptop is wake up and show image. Doesn't matter if i run stress test in 4K, in FHD, HD resolution in window mode - doesn't crash, bit if run in full screen mode - in any resolution - 2-10 sec crashing... 

I install many drivers, reinstalled win 10 5 times, intallind and uninstalling Clevo control center, with updated all drivers and with all manufacturers (old) drivers - no success... Video card separately working flawlessly, in full screen/windowed mode, but in SLI both (and if swap each other) - not properly working in fullscreen mode.

Hi. Bought p870km, 7700k + 2xgtx1070 SLI.

If SLI Enabled, laptop is constantly freeze during boots, slowly boot windows, and after booting if run any benchmark - artifacts, and after 5-15sec - black screen ( or reboot, or after 3-5min can if press win ctrl shift b - reload driver and screen power on). But if tested with disabled SLI or Each one in master Slot separately - video cards in testing no issues - loading 100% stress test, no artifacts, no black screen. I flash bios from TM modded for 8 series and 9 series, flash video bios (because GOP version was old) - nothing changes - in sli mode black screen ( and in original bios KM bios show 2 video cards, but in modded from TM - Show only one video card)... 

How can test second video card without enabling SLI to understand whether it is a problem with the sli bridge connection hardware or the second slot hardware, or second card in second slot not want working 😕 

what should this thermal pad be like? and what other ones should be on the motherboard?

First in the 11700KF/3080 category:)))

 

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (notebook) video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-11700KF Processor,Notebook X170KM-G (3dmark.com)

 

14K precisely :)))

 

 

Will be second;)

Why you have more points in 3dmark? 

What do you have lcd? Downvolted? Overclocked?

For the GPU Extra power conector, you have the two 4 pin conectors (you can see both of them in  the first picture), wich has two + and two - pins. They suply the exact voltage needed, exactly 19.5v. 

 

You just need to do a cable mod like in the image.

this is only for 870dm because by the factory there is additional power supply, and two at once. in other laptops alienware, msi, precision - there is no additional power supply and you need to understand where to get it from. also where to get 3.3 volts from. and perhaps the video card will work differently because all laptops have the optimus function enabled.
