No. Then why do they work in the P570WM3 (2012 laptop) and on the P775 and P870? It makes no sense. I contacted kela-slk since this person tested a lot of MXM 3.0 GPUs but without telling the results at the end when he fixed his laptop.

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...

Wonder if XVsions new RTX 5090 would work on these rigs?
SuperMG replied to Busta Bloodnut's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
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.

If the 4070 doesn't work then the 4090 won't work either. Will the KM accept the RTX Ada better? 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...

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)

I got that to work in the P870 and P775 without the power connector! You just need a new heatsink for it.

Hello. Won't the RTX 4070 MXM fix your issue? It performs like the 3080 150W and it only uses 115W. You need to cool down its VRAM chips too. The GDDR6 on those can achieve 90C max if well cooled. The VRM don't get too hot and I never had any shutdown issue with it. Second option: You can use an older Nvidia driver, it's a bug that allows to set the power limit.

Hello guys. What are your scores in CPU-z with an i7 11700K? (Undervolted). Because I'll soon test my RTX 4090 MXM with my backlight mod v2 and a custom made heatsink for it with CPU part being watercooled (hopefully) This card worked on the P775TM1 with 9900K

Only sm can't support 11th, only supports 10th

It supports 10th and 11th gen. No 9th gen support.

At least I found a KM motherboard that's like 2.5 times cheaper than on AliExpress. The dual channel and the rest work. This sm motherboard has too many issues, new ones appearing each day. No idea if that i9 10900KF got defective because of that motherboard or it's just an unlucky chip.

Got 4070 to work. 4090 will work too, need EDID override and maybe a watercooled heatsink for it since 150W is hot

The whole laptop is glitching now. It was working before. I didn't use it for a day. No it's not a faulty GPU. No error 43 or BSOD. No artifacts just doing some screen flashing flickers The screen flickers crazily and the laptop always goes to sleep mode after 10 seconds. Dead PCH? Dead motherboard. Waiting for the 300USD KM-G motherboard replacement and my custom 2 in 1 heatsink with watercooling for GTX 9XXM and RTX 40XX MXM

I did update the BIOS with ch341A. I erased the entire BIOS chip and flashed a stock 1.07.04 clean BIOS. EC seems to be working. The EC doesn't control the RAM. EC is 1.07.zT. The laptop is a zTecPC variant and I can't find the 1.07.04zT bios for it (Prema) Laptop works only in single-channel. Tried to adjust the LGA bracket pressure, cleaned the socket. Can't get it to work with dual channel.
