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.

Dropped the price of the backlight mod v2 pack to 35€ (was 39€) on ebay and 30€ with Paypal F&F. Shipping to USA is no longer an option because the shipping prices are ridiculous and got increased by almost X2 for just a small package.

Alright the motherboard is faulty... I tried with an i3 10100F known for working with dual channel memory. Same issues as before. For some reasons it booted with 1x16 3200MHz at 2666MHz and 2x16 3200Mhz at 2666MHz in single. It also means the I9 10900KF is half faulty. It couldn't run a single 16 nor 2x16gb. Can only run 2666MHz sticks at 2133MHz
-
Yes I saw that. It's a LVDS display since the 120Hz requires a 50 pins cable.

No one helps where I live. They say they only repair certified brands, like what the heck. I hope it's a CPU issue. An "ebay" repair job is like 300-400€ lol and we aren't sure if they can repair. I'll try and see if one of my connections knows someone for repairs

I'll test the RTX 4090 MXM on the Clevo X170 when I'll get the heatsink for it. The 4090 works great on the Clevo P775TM1 with the custom heatsink. Great temps with my backlight mod v2

I'll buy an i7 10700K since it's an 8 cores CPU. If dual channel doesn't work then the motherboard is dead. I hope it's not the case. The motherboard costs more than the I9. Dead motherboard: It means that the ram traces are probably broken or a faulty PCH. I didn't see any suspicious liquid damage on the board CPU: It means the DRAM controller is dead.

So the motherboard is dead?

So single channel works in slot 1 and 2. When I try single channel for slot 3 or 4. It doesn't boot. CPU socket pins, everything looks clean. Nothing is broken or missing. Used an air blower and a brush to clean the socket, still the dual channel doesn't work. Is that a motherboard issue or a CPU issue?
-
Hello. I'll try with another CPU. Like the 10100F. I have a none bent socket. Found one CPU locally for 35 after taxes
-
I try this with 2 slots (1 and 2) in single: 1x8GB (2666MHz) works at 2133Mhz, boots to OS 2x8GB (2666MHz) works at 2133MHz, boots to OS 16GB (3200MHz) + 8GB (2666MHz) works at 2133MHz, boots to OS 2x16GB (3200MHz) doesn't work, no boot. 1x16 (3200MHz), doesn't work, no boot. Anything in dual channel, no boot. All the RAM sticks get hot in the touch, so they are getting powered. Is that a CPU problem?

Hello. I bought a Clevo X170SM-G with 10900KF and RTX 3080 16GB with 32GB of RAM. It has the watercooling 2in1 heatsink. Laptop wasn't posting so I reflashed it with a 1.07.04 stock clean ME bios. Still no boot. So I had to remove the RAM from slot 2/4 and I only used one slot and it worked. The laptop only posts with single channel configuration and it runs at 2133MHz. The previous owner told me that the laptop was working perfectly fine and he didn't use it for a week and the laptop wouldn't post. I cleaned the CPU pads. There were some stains but this didn't help. Is the motherboard dead? Or is the CPU DDR controller dead? All the memory slots are working in single channel.

Hello. To flash the BIOS on the X170, I can flash any BIOS .rom from XMG/SAGER/Eurocom? Are they clean ME?
