fair point, however everything I saw thus far indicates that. The main battery is fine, 7% wear which isn't bad considering it also is 4 years old and works fine. Also reflashed bios and EC(thus disabling Dsanke's bios unlocker) to make sure everything is fine software wise. Thank you for the updates, looking forward for that .INF driver and what to do with it!
-
Well, it lasted 4 years.. Where can I get another? third party or should I contact my own clevo seller?
-
Apparently my pc decided it was time not to ever boot without it being plugged in to the wall. It flashes and then turns off, only with AC power it turns on and it says there's been an nvram reset, so bios reset and everything. Is it me or the CMOS battery is dying?
-
indeed, i thought the same, my own 2080s also has similar wear on the memory chips. i got it from amazon from a third party seller, and they said they won't have another heatsink ready for 40 days..if anyone has links for decent prices, I would appreciate the PMs. Mostly because I want to test the 3080 as I do not have a lot of time before I can send it back in case it does not work. another weird thing is that the gpu is listed coming from the US, yet there's a label that says hong kong and an address there...k

Ah, my own 3080 just arrived, looks good on visual inspection, signs of wear appear on the memory chips' writings, some of them are faded. Pity I cannot test the gpu because the heatsink I received was bent and thus unusable. They also send you gpu cable and the big pad that sits under it
-
it should be plug and play regardless. The issues which require modding are Gsync and Dynamic Boost, apparently by modding the .inf driver
-
the hybrid heatsink has no advantage with air over the stock one. the modded fans however do the job real nicely. So, how's the 3080? plug and play? any issues?
-
i just hope the gpu is fine and it wasn't overused in a crypto farm or something. The board itself in the pictures looked pretty much brand spanking new, so there's that at least
-
I'm beginning to think we both got it from the same seller
-
i got dsanke's unlocker for the clevo stock bios, that's it
-
is there any guide/video to swap gpus in the x170? never did that myself and I know you gotta go a bit deeper than simply unscrewing the holder screw ( I think) and removing the connector
-
Speaking of...any good source for the kmg heatsink to be purchased from? Except for the hybrid heatsink with which I did not have a great experience
-
Order of boot probably. Start loading opt default first. Then check boot order or directly boot from wherever windows installer is. Also, 3080 gave you any issue?
-
look at the bright side: less heat, lower temps 😄 Check PMs please
-
speaking of the gpu driver, is DDU + nvclean install sufficient or there's something else that needs to be done?
-
Whilst losing g sync and not getting dynamic boost
-
we'd need a new bios, like a port from the km-g or something
-
Been thinking of swapping my 2080S for a 3080 for a while now so am trying to get as much info as I can. VRam alone is a big reason to these days anyway
-
Is it really better performance with 50W less? Doesn't the 3080mxm have 12gb? Which means 4 more than the 2080s
-
at that point you start to question if it is worth it
-
I also heard about G sync issues with 144hz fhd screen, also, I am still not convinced there is nothing to do bios wise to make it compatible, and there's no 15w boost so it's base 150w
-
yes after cleaning and re"pasting" my temps are exactly the same as yours (cpu after 2 cinebench runs (81C) and 1 shadow of the tomb raider at max settings run). only 75C is the hotspot instead of normal gpu core temp
-
Said gpu had eaten all of the liquid metal..funny how it only happens gpu side..cpu is always there..maybe a bit crusty after awhile (conductonaut). Wondering if there are better offerings around
-
How the hell isn't this thermal throttling??
-
I'm so tempted to get a 3080 for my x170sm...but still kinda worried it wouldn't work on it
