I told you a few posts ago that the connectors align 😄 Not sure if everything aligns inside but I would guess that the answer is yes.
-
I am also not quite sure why there is so much excitement for people with a 75x or 77x Clevo, guess the power draw is still tempting. Given price and availability I would say that if 150W power draw is OK then the 3080 mobile will perform better and it has 16GB memory and it can be nice to upgrade from a 2070 or a 1080. 2080 less so and could be decided based on a number of factors. The 4070 is more interesting while still maintaining a really low power uptake so again nice for people who are power constrained. For a substantial jump in performance it will still be necessary to get the 4080.

If you have enough gaming performance with the current CPU then leave it as is. No reason to spend more money on something that is relatively costly and could also go wrong👍
-
Oh man, that is one pathetic CPU 🙂 Of course the question is if it matters in real world gaming, does it?
-
The connectors parts are the same physically with regard to the case openings required as the SM-G also has two connectors in the same form factor, namely one USB-C that also doubles as a display port and one that is just a regular USB-C connector. Still there is obviously a risk that something will not work somewhere, maybe best to let the guys look over it who repaired your SM-G. You can check out the reviews at notebookcheck, they should have a picture from all three sides of the laptop. Presonally I would not do it as I prefer to have 10 cores and 4 SSDs which is not possible with the SM-G chassis so I would check out if a 10 Core Xeon is working with the mainboard.
-
OK, just checked my KM-G and SM-G and the connectors line up just fine, just have to remember that the KM-G has two Thunderbolt on the side vs one on the back for the SM-G 🙂 As for the mounting positions for the board itself there are plenty of pictures online so you will not have a difficult time finding them.
-
Not sure if that upgrade is possible, best to check all connectors and how the main board is mounted. I have seen that board, pricing is pretty good!

Do you think it is a power uptake limitation? I would not be surprised about that. If it is "only" an issue with K-Processors then you could look into getting one of the fast Xeons that go up to over 5 Ghz, like the W-1290P that can be had for not so much money and goes up to I think 4.8GHz all cores and 5.3 single core. I have no idea though if it is supported, maybe check with @Prema. Or maybe it is power and you cannot use 125W CPUs any more. Then you could check out a 10900F with 5.2/4.6 single and all core and 65W. It is quite a bit more costly though than the 125W 1290P. In any case I would try to work around the CPU issue instead of getting a new motherboard, too much money and work if you can get enough performance out of another CPU.

Sorry to hear that, this sucks 😞 Of course it is nice that the 10700T is working but a max clock of 4.5GHz is really disappointing, probably more like 4.0 or 4.1 all core? Which K Processor does not work, the 10900K? And has that CPU been verified to work in another system?
-
Good to know, especially considering the price they charge!

Already done, the trick is to find it at a good price: https://de.aliexpress.com/i/1005004496501848.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2deu

And those temps are low already - the 3080 at stock helps a lot as it has 35W lower power consumption than the 2080s that this chassis was designed for. In my opinion this is a very well balanced system and it also runs very quiet up to about 200W power consumption with only a little help from external cooling fans.
-
Those are ridiculously low temps especially for the GPU but doesn't it essentially relegate the X170 to desktop status?

Great to see some activity in this thread! I have used the Raider 18HX for some time now and was quite happy with using S4 state - it takes longer to enter and get out of but it is also very reliable. I always deactivate fast boot, too and maybe that also plays a role. The important thing as always is to only enter whatever mode is desired with power disconnected and I also found the Raider to take some time until it would enter hibernate mode. For mine it is easy to note when it enters hibernate as only then the fans stop running - I have set them to always on.

Not desperate at all, Clevo Fan Control works just fine for the X170 chassis and I assume for the P775, too. I do not like CCC because: it is not very well written and does stuff in a non-reliable way or even not at all its whole mode of operation feels clumsy and non-intuitive it messes with things it should not mess with it is hideous for a program that has been in use for so long and for enthusiasts machines the configurability and ease of access to presets is very disappointing and unworthy of an enthusiast product, Clevo should have bought the Obsidian software when Obsidian went out of business as clearly they are unable to write proper software for their own products did I mention it is hideous? its garish colors and completely overblown size would be a reason for me to look for something else even if it was working
