price difference is also huge. $5000 for Clevo X370 w/ 4080 in Aus dollars. (+$1500 for 4090!) I could recoup some of that by parting this, 9900K, 2x 1080s, 4x16Gb 3000MHz RAM still have some value. It will just be incredibly insulting to be buying only 4070/4070Ti desktop performance for well beyond actual 4090 money. I guess nobody has yet put a 3080 into DM3?

Is a 3080 from X170 going to work in a P870DM3? Re electrical/firmware compatibility Modding a heatsink is not a concern I currently have Prema EC code and Dsanke BIOS (his original pre-Spectre one for my P0 stepping 9900K) Just looking ahead. 40 series is underwhelming and/or horrifically expensive, and if Dragon Range ends up being a damp squib I think finding one of these will be the next least rubbish option

3070 looks more promising tbh, the lower power limit on the 3080 (due to the extra memory chips?) will hurt clocks but yeah, who feels lucky going for one of these

clevo We did it. TM1 heatsink has been grafted to KM1

about 170W. I have had to raise various secondary power limits in the prema bios to get that high without throttle, it was a long process to find what to raise to get rid of the eDP throttle flags on this DM3 (and the older DM 6700K also with premabios to go beyond 4.6ghz). Tbh I forget exactly which settings I raised iirc it was input current related. This 9900K can handle 4.9 with a -25mV offset so the headroom is there but there's a hardware limit that causes instant shutoff that gets triggered beyond 170W so do all my testing with power and iccmax limits in place Cooling is the main problem, I had to make my own heatsink with extra heatpipes and a waterblock on top adding hybrid watercooling to handle 9900K @ 4.9ghz/150W. I don't bother stress testing AVX anymore I hardly ever use it, just set and forget with a -3 offset. I stress for stability using x264/x265 as I do have to encode semi regularly. -
ugh. Horrible news I guess with the silly prices of new cards in general the DTR niche and aftermarket MXM mod scene is deader than ever. I'd risk maybe $1k on a 3080 MXM to see if it worked with the possibility of getting most of it back if it didn't At least we have eGPU as a fallback and we just have to hope we can hack the power limits on CPUs to keep them interesting for those of us with exotic cooling methods (Speaking of which, I'm fixing up my watercooled P870DM3 at the moment, I better be super careful)
