Hi @Teo I believe my processor only draws 70W in Cinebench because I set the max processor state to 99% in “Edit power plan” in Windows. My cpu does not go above 3.5ghz with this setting. This does decrease performance in certain cases such as Cinebench, but when web browsing or playing certain games, the performance impact is minimal to none. In fact, I like changing that setting since it keeps the cpu temperature from spiking when doing tasks and it keeps the cpu temperature under control. This is important since I allow a maximum of 80% fan speed in Control Center. Fan speeds past that are too loud in my opinion, and keeping the fans at that maximum speed would cause the laptop to quickly reach over 90C in heavy workloads like Cinebench without my settings. 99% maximum processor state in Edit power plan and the -110mv undervolt allows for a very cool and quiet system. I actually prefer this over the potential speed of the 11900K. For example, in an indie title called “Beware,” with 100% maximum processor state and my undervolt, I would get around 120 to 130 fps. The system would get to 80C, though. With 99% maximum processor state and my undervolt, I got about 90-100 fps, but the system never went above 68-69C. I should also note that this game was indeed cpu bound for these tests. Web browsing and light workloads are so much better with these settings in place since the cpu does not constantly spike in temperature, causing the fans to ramp up and then ramp back down. I find that very annoying. These settings may not be for everyone, but I think they work great for me. I saw your heat pipe mod and throttlestop settings. It is great you were able to get 15,000+ points in Cinebench with those modifications.🙂 Thank you for the input! EDIT: I also want to add: Have you checked the laptop’s chipset temperature in HWInfo? Mine seems to be running quite warm at 74C under certain workloads and while gaming.

Hello, Has anyone applied an undervolt to their x170km? Using the Control Center app, a -110mv offset seems to be stable so far. I also set the max processor state to 99% in “Edit power plan” in Windows. This has made a huge difference in temperatures, especially temperature spikes. In Cinebench R23, I got about 10800 points with these settings. My 11900K used about 70W during this test and did not go above 71C during 1 test. I also have a very conservative fan profile in the Control Center. I limited the fans to 80% as the maximum fan speed. I did not see large performance differences in the games I played, so I think these settings are worth it.

I will consider all of this Thank you again for the help and reponse!

Hey @Teo Thank you so much for the reply! It helps me a ton! Did you have any issues with ram when you were on the stock Origin bios? It seems you were able to run 64gb at 3200 with an 11900k with no problems, right? You are also using the gear 1 bios, I assume? I am also on an 11900k. Honestly, I am mostly just concerned with getting my ram to run in slots 1 and 3 at its rated spec (3200mhz CL 22 1.2V). I might not even try unlocking my current bios. If you look at my post that I made earlier in this thread, I detail the issues I was having with my ram. Basically, I am having instability running a G. Skill 64gb (2x32) kit at its rated speed of 3200mhz CL 22 1.2V in slots 1 and 3. When I try to put one stick at a time, I still have instability, which is strange. Maybe it is a problem with the ram itself, but when I put the ram in slots 2 and 4, the system is stable, but the ram runs at 2667mhz CL19. Also, I don't think the stock Origin bios allows ram capacities greater than 64gb since when I put the 64gb kit and my original 16gb kit together, the system would turn on but only display a black screen and eventually turn back off. giltheone has this same laptop and was having similar issues to me. He posted about his issue in this thread no too long ago. I am currently on Origin bios 1.07.08TOPC and EC 1.07.04. Since I want to be sure, going straight from this bios to the latest XMG one should be fine? Also, would I need to update my EC to XMG's latest one afterwards? I am also guessing that I don't have to update the ME firmware (its version can be seen under the bios and EC version in the bios). I probably need to backup my current bios since I cannot find any archive of it anywhere in case the XMG bios is unstable or I want to go back. Oddly enough, it is not even on Origin's driver support site. I have thought about tuning my ram to run at 2933mhz CL 21 or slower so I can try to run the ram in slots 1 and 3 without stability issues. However, I believe the only way to do this is through an unlocked bios. At the beginning of this thread, electrosoft said that the bios unlocker provided by ViktorV will work with most bios versions up to 1.07.08, so I'm guessing it could work with my stock Origin bios? If not, I guess I will have to find a bios from another vendor that is version 1.07.07. I have also heard of customizing ram speed and latency through Thaiphoon Burner, but apparently the ability to that is locked behind a paywall. Whether I decide to flash my bios to the XMG one or unlock it in its current state, I just want to be totally sure not to brick my system. I think I will try unlocking the bios with ViktorV's script first and manually adjusting ram speed. Hopefully I can just select another JEDEC profile to simplify things. Interestingly, another user on this thread stated that 64gb at 3200mhz will not work on this laptop since it is too much strain on the IMC. It is also advised in the manual to run ram in slots 1 and 3 first and then 2 and 4. However, unlike slots 1 and 3, slots 2 and 4 seem to be stable for me at least, even though they downclock the ram to 2667mhz. Ram with this laptop is definitely confusing to say the least. Anyway, I really appreciate your help and response! 😃 I have been trying to figure this all out for quite a while now.

Hi @Teo Were you using the stock Origin bios before you updated to the XMG one? I am using an EON 17-x and am considering reflashing my bios from the Origin one to XMG’s latest one since I am having stability issues running 64gb of 3200 cl22 ram on my laptop. I am guessing it is safe to reflash bioses between different vendors such as Origin and XMG? Or maybe it would be easier to unlock my bios and manually set ram speed, timings, or other jedec profiles. Thanks

Hello everyone, I tried upgrading my ram on my Origin EON 17-x, but I am having issues. When I installed the new ram, I get frequent blue screen errors and crashes. I ran the Windows memory diagnostic program, and it found errors in the new ram. I tried running the ram diagnostic with each stick separately but still had issues. My old ram is 16GB (8x2) of Corsair Vengeance 2666MHz CL18 at 1.2V, which works great. All drivers are installed, and my Windows 10 install is updated. The ram I tried using to upgrade the laptop was a G-Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3200MHz CL22 1.2V 64GB (32x2) kit. I installed the two modules in ram slots 1 and 3 (under the bottom cover). I am using an i9 11900K processor My BIOS version is 1.07.08TOPC My EC version is 1.07.04 Are there incompatibilities when using 64GB of ram at 3200mhz, or did I get a faulty kit? I am considering returning the ram and finding a new 64GB kit. I have heard that this laptop is capable of 128GB ram, so I thought 64GB should work fairly easily. Origin has told me that they only release one bios per laptop, so updating the bios likely wont help. I tried resetting cmos but that did not help. Thanks for the help UPDATE: I tried installing the new memory in slots 2 & 4 and the system was stable. However, the ram ran at a speed of 2667 at CL19. I also tried mixing my 8gb stick and the new 32gb stick in slots 1 & 3 and the system was stable and ran at 2533mhz at CL19. When I tried to populate all slots with those 2 different kits, the system would turn on but not boot, and it eventually would turn back off. I saw another user here having the same issue and they were also using the same laptop (Origin EON 17-X). Maybe I will still return the kit and try to buy a slower 2933 kit that will hopefully work in slots 1 & 3. I wonder what is the fastest 64gb kit I can use in this laptop. It seems that ram is VERY finnicky on the Origin EON 17-X specifically. I wish Origin had as much memory support as some of the other X170KM models, specifically the XMG Ultra 17. I have seen users get 128gb of ram or 64gb 3200mhz on that laptop with 11th gen, but that seems improbable for this Origin model. Maybe an unlocked BIOS or another BIOS could help, but I am unsure if I want to go that route.
