Apparently all the bios ( and gpu) changes finally caught up with the obsidian fan control licence system: my licence stopped working. Which is a problem, without it, completely useless. And then I'd need a fan control app which ramps up BOTH fans for even 1 load ( cpu OR gpu) instead of 1 for 1.

Thanks @Pfudaniel, let's hope that we can get similar results like the p870 or p775! Especially since some of us using the 3080 in the smg have power state driver failure after wake-up from sleep in win 10. SMG's gpu Hardware ID is : PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_24DC&SUBSYS_77141558&REV_A1 as far as I know, the KMG which supports the 3080 natively is 7715, instead of 4. Installing drivers directly with nvcleanstall, doing the inf modding manually, choosing the km-g template, doesn't change anything, the end result is a driver with the issues listed above, with or without Prema Bios. Hopefully someone with quite more skill than me for instance, can provide any insight into modding the bios so that it can recognise the card natively or at least work with gsync, dynamic boost and no sleep issue.
-
so..you have gsync when using external monitor and now your gpu goes to around 165watts? did you do something to it?
-
just like a was told some time ago, no amount of .inf modding will bring us reliably constant gsync and dynamic boost ( or working sleep functions in win 10)
-
For performance/privacy/security reasons, would you disable ( in bios and else if present) the following: --Intel SGX ( Software guard extension) --Intel Management Engine ( though its disabled state in bios is not much more than placebo from what I read, and removing the driver in windows doesn't do much either, afaik system76 does remove it more or there's even this: https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner) --TPM Would trying to disable any or all of these cause problems elsewhere? Read around it could cause power state issues. Thanks

You gotta edit the inf file to get that address. Nvcleanstall uses appdata local temp folder. Find the infs there
-
I think it also amounts to how he installed the drivers, using, technically, the wrong ID address. Pfudaniel has ztec with prema and he edited the nv_dispig.inf using the 2206 template under "3080" and edited 24DC.7714.1558. He definitely has gsync with 4k screen. Dynamic boost though, no idea.
-
I saw his control panel. It has the option for gsync, unlike mine. But it said "no" beside dynamic boost..so there is that. Mine also says 165w but never pulls over 150. Also 3dmark complains when you use gsync.
-
ok, I think this settles it, ZTEC Prema x170s, while they require custom driver installations, DO support 3080 features like dynamic boost and Gsync, though doesn't it say "no" beside dynamic boost 2.0? Do some full load test and see via hw id if it really uses 165w
-
you did not follow the guide, it said it does not matter whether it's one or the other. Go for 7715 and install in safe mode. You can also do it manually by editing the 3080 reference in the nvcvig.inf file into 24DC.7714.1558
-
Follow the guide I linked. One of the ways in which you can do it.

It does not install driver correctly on its own. Not in the cases thus far listed with 3 different sets of bios+EC
-
Mod the nvcvig.inf drivers for your hardware ID and install them in safe mode. Use nvcleanstall which is much better than stock ones. Pfudaniel used nv_dispig and inserted the hw id address into the 3080 @ 2206 if I recall, should work the same. In theory being ztec with prema it should have gsync and dynamic boost working, without the damn sleep issue that is plaguing me.
-
agreed on this, it also bends the vapor chamber if you are not careful, stock spring screws from clevo plus a couple of washers help enough
-
yes, apparently that is pretty much the only one.
-
yeah, well if it wasn't for lack of gsync, dynamic boost, funky driver install and, apparently, black screen problems with windows 10 sleep, then sure, it's great. @win32asmguydo you have the same black screen issue? dumps driver power state failure pointing to the gpu driver
-
No throttlestop then? So you always sit on high power limits..I also considered this but I occasionally like changing profiles ( power saving, quiet) and not in the bios which is slower.
-
Most impressive. I've done a similar shape foam barrier but to be honest require better materials. However it had been years and I have not used any barrier in both cpu and gpu, without problems. I just clean around with alcohol and double check each application. That LM baking process is interesting and so is the removal of the fourth cpu screw mount, I know it is offset but still find it a bit surprising it is more detrimental that not because of contact patch with the cpu. Will likely do the same thing myself in the future, just gotta get the right material ( tape, foam and another round of polish, I only have car polish and wax which I do not think are applicable here) Thanks a lot!
-
does anyone have a picture of the hardware cooling mods that were done by zTecpc? If I remember correctly, 3 CPU screws instead of 4 and LM + foam barriers, would really like the last bit especially, since space is tight and would like to see how they did it.
-
I do not know how they would behave in your case, you should take my experience therefore with a grain of salt. In my case fans were not only better, but also far less noisy and whiny
-
By the way, how do you flash a .bin EC firmware for our smg via EFI shell? is there a package to download somewhere?
-
been using them for the past 1 2 year, they are excellent on stock heatsink, not so much on hybrid heatsink ( air only)
-
did it, finally. My pc is back in the game, the SPI flash went through well, though it took a while to find a program (and clips) that would work
-
No I haven't. I used an old video from dave something on yt. Gotta find this post!
