We are in the market... thx.

If you're used to Clevo's full size keyboard, this one is annoying. It has a key mapper which makes it usable, but it will be annoying til the next upgrade in 2-ish years. Lighter and quieter than Clevo X170KM-G. 20% faster compiling a system, twice as fast loading a database. Sorry, not a gamer, plenty of reviews around for that. Xotic p***d me off by hosing the setup, probably an anomaly but they lost my future business. Ed: Oh yeah, Clevo X170KM-G with i9-11900K is what it's faster than.

mine was fine, til it wasn't... Windows backup showed its flaws, got a 1tb to replace pair of 500s in Raid0 but Windows wouldn't restore over a few megs difference in size. $50 backup utility would have saved me a day's time.

Didn't expect the ssd to be the thing that fried itself in this box... update the firmware if you have Samsung. My 980 pro 500s bricked a few hours after throwing Smart errors. 5 years Mtbf, right...

That was weird... system shut itself down last night, first time in months (thx again Xmg). Turned it on and it said there was no boot device. Put in the windows usb stick and told it to boot from that. It went into a boot loop. Put in Efi shell stick and booted to that with no issue. Put back the Windows stick and booted from that, it went into Windows instead. ? Maybe because I'm on Win11 and it's 10. Took out the usb drive and rebooted and it worked fine. ?? No Windows update last night. Event Log said unexpected shutdown at 3am but no activity was logged around that time. ??? Keeping my fingers crossed.

A month without crashing. I'd forgotten what it's like to have a real computer. Thanks Xmg.
-
Stability is the whole underlying Clevo issue with this machine. Xmg appears to have solved that for me,, fingers crossed.
-
You can go into Advanced Scaling on Display Settings to set any value you want. I did 110% for a while, don't recall any major issues but reverted to a preset in hope of better stability.
-
no Prema on this thing. You have the latest bios? fans & vents are clean? using how many memory slots?
-
A week without crashing! woohoo... starting to kind of like this machine.
-
Howdy... Hid says he's not going to support it due to its instability. Xmg flash gave me a scare but came up on the 4th "first boot". Pretty fool proof if you follow their instructions. Now to see if i can go a week or 2 without a crash. Fingers crossed.

So this where everybody came... 😁 I finally got tired enough of random bsod to give up and fall back to 64gig ram, then found the Xmg Gear2 bios. Hid, surprisingly (:sarcasm: 🙃), isn't interested in getting that for me so i'm going to get my fingers dirty. Anybody having issues with their bios in others' machines?
