That was fast…sold on ebay

Price: $old Condition: Used Warranty: N/A Reason for sale: Went back to my Titan V Payment: Paypal Shipping: I'll cover shipping to US48 International shipping: Possibly Handling time: 2 Business Days Feedback: https://www.heatware.com/u/73221/to https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/ssj92?filter=feedback_page:All I wanted to do NVLink (with my 1st one I sold on eBay) but instead ended up getting a ASUS Hyper M.2 v2 card with 2xIntel 670p to try VROC. Don't need just one and my Titan V does everything I need for now and has 1GB more VRAM for 4K gaming. Card works good, blower cards are great (imo). Price is shipped to US48. Card is a bit dusty, I am the 2nd owner, and it came dusty. I blew it with compressed air and it looks better. Personally I prefer these over a RTX 3070. It benches higher than my MSI RTX 3070 triple slot and has more vram: https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/26895750/fs/28691159/fs/26587549 https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/25250568/spy/24127527/spy/27316490

I haz joined the X170SM-G club 😎

Yes, even 9th gen can work but it would be highly recommended to upgrade VRMs if you do 9th gen i9. 8700k should work fine.

2560x1600 at 165hz/480hz with 100% dci-p3, that’s not bad. But was hoping for better especially brightness. as someone who has owned the 18.4” alienwares and clevo p870dm/dm3 models I can safely say they have the best audio out of any laptop i’ve tested. although my 16” m1 pro macbook pro has better sound than 99% laptops in a thin 16” form factor, so I expect a lot from a 18” alienware. i am kinda expecting really good audio from the x170sm if I end up buying it

Let me know if you want it 🙂 rather sell here than to someone random on ebay (already getting the usual super low ball messages from ebay people lol)

I am not sure maybe @ViktorV can tell you. i was gonna remove the edp cable to see if it’ll show bios on external display, but after seeing I need to open up basically everything I gave up on it. Right now if I put in a SSD with windows it’ll show image on external display after booting to windows.

Let's be honest here. We've been screwed by all the manufacturers throughout the years. Look at Alienware with their Area-51m R1. The R2 gpus could have been compatible but they def purposely built it not to be compatible. Clevo...imagine buying a X170SM-G then when the 11 series came out, having to buy a new X170KM despite they being almost identical (besides chipset). Next year I would be surprised if we get anything with removable components. Maybe a Clevo with LGA socket only but I doubt we will get MXM. The time is finally here where everything will basically be BGA. I am looking into getting a X170SM/KM just to own the last clevo with lga/mxm. Just like I own the last AWs with sockets (AW18, M18xR1/R2, Area-51m). I haven't been a fan of the Alienwares after AW14/17/18 gen but the X14 was kinda nice. I expect this 18" to take the X series design. They need a Mini LED or OLED display for this and a damn subwoofer for audio again.

Price: $old Condition: For parts Warranty: N/A Reason for sale: I am buying a X170SM-G instead of repairing this [not enough time for me to repair/lazy] Payment: Paypal Shipping: I'll cover shipping to US48 International shipping: Possibly Handling time: 2 Business Days Feedback: https://www.heatware.com/u/73221/to https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/ssj92?filter=feedback_page:All I bought this laptop brand new from Eurocom in late 2015 on release. I sold it to my friend when I bought a P870DM-3. We traded this back for my dell precision and while I wanted to restore it, I am just lazy to do it. The laptop works as a desktop (once you add RAM/SSD with windows already installed). But in order to use as laptop you need the following: LCD (4K): https://www.blisscomputers.net/new-replacement-17-3-uhd-4k-3840x2160-lcd-screen-ips-led-display-lq173d1jw31-b173zan01-0-non-touch-fit-clevo-p870dm-998394/ Audio Board with ribbons: https://rjtech.com/shop/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=30663 The keyboard could use a replacement too (lights don't work due to ribbon cable being ripped) It's missing screws but will come with a bag full of screws. Battery barely holds a charge but it does last like 15-20 mins. It has my personal Prema Mod BIOS as well. Laptop currently has: i5 6600K CPU GTX 980 (desktop) GPU AX200 Wi-Fi Card 2x 330w ac adapters converter box for 2x 330w ac adapters Price is shipped to US48

I think I will get this day 1. upgradable laptops are pretty much dead, not even Clevo has MXM anymore most likely next year. I really hope this has a 4k display option (mini led or oled) and I hope they include a subwoofer because their 17” model audio is lacking without one. Hope we get some more details soon.

Sounds like 13900HX 24-Core BGA and RTX 4080Ti or 4090 (whatever they call it) doubt it’ll be a lga system but still exciting. I love the 18.4” screens and I hope it’s at least that size. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Alienware-s-18-inch-gaming-laptops-to-return-in-2023.672879.0.html

I decided against this route. Will try to go towards X170 series instead. But glad to see you are happy. which display does yours have?

Where can these heatsinks be found? 🙂

Does the X170KM have unlocked bios? I know the SM has Prema Mod

Make sure you are on unlocked bios. Go to bios and look for video configuration. Change from PEG to SG. Then try again

Can GTX 980 + Heatsink from P870DM fit and work inside a P870DM3?

I could also use the following parts for p870dm instead: 4k 60hz lcd panel or full assembly

I may be getting my P870DM back from my friend. He had flashed the dsanke bios a long time ago and messed up the audio board. We had flashed it back to my Prema Mod but of course audio board is shot. he unfortunately threw away the audio board and ribbon cables. I am looking to see if anyone has a P870DM for parts or anyone knows where to buy these parts:

Price drop. no one need this?

I’ve owned P570WM, P870DM, P870DM3. main difference between P870DM3 vs P870TM is that TM supports RTX 20 series and 8/9th gen CPUs officially. P870DM3 requires bios mod and I believe heatsink mod to use rtx 20 series.

Price: $120 Shipped each SOLD Condition: Used Warranty: N/A Reason for sale: I bought the new V3 (Rev 10.0) for Alienware laptops that fix power drain [Doesn't affect Clevo/MSI systems] Payment: Paypal Shipping: I'll cover shipping to US48 International shipping: Possibly Handling time: 2 Business Days Feedback: https://www.heatware.com/u/73221/to https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/ssj92?filter=feedback_page:All I think I paid $180 each for these when I first got them in 2021 or 2020 (forgot which year). These allow you to run a NVMe SSD in your MXM slot. They will run at full PCIe 3.0 X4 speed. One SSD any size from 2242 to 2280. I have personally used SK Hynix 1TB & Samsung 980 Pro 1TB. Others have used various other brands, 2TB models as well. NOTE: FOR ALIENWARE SYSTEMS, these cards will drain power and add SSD hours even when laptop is off. On M18xR2 this isn't too much of an issue since the battery is easy to remove, not so much on aw18. CLEVO users: Works and tested in P570WM & P870DM series. NO POWER DRAIN issue on Clevo systems. For Clevo, these cards are identical to V3 Rev 10.0. The newer cards were made to fix power drain in Alienware systems. MSI users: No one has complained about power drain so for now it should not drain power. YOUR BIOS MUST SUPPORT NVMe DRIVES! I HAVE BIOS FOR M18XR2 AND AW18 POSTED IN AW CLUB. P870DM natively works with NVMe drives. P570WM will require latest Prema Mod from Prema. ANY other system with MXM slot can use this as long as BIOS supports NVMe. if you have any questions please ask. These are the only two I have and will probably not be getting more so once these are gone, you can only get them from alibaba etc. I am in US. Ignore the tape on 2nd card in pic, it will be gone when I ship it.

Has anyone tried making an offer to get it for less? I am tempted to throw an offer and see what happens. For those asking about raptor card. I have two going on sale soon here in fs section. They work in basically any Clevo that has dual mxm slots and supports NVMe. All P870DM will work with it, even P570WM will work with latest Prema mod.

Ended up buying an open box unit from zTecPC

The black aliexpress one is easiest to buy and price isn't too bad. it should work with a4500?

Do you have link to Chinese ebay listing for that green card? I will ask my Chinese friend to see if they can order for me. i also found this “v1.3” looks similar to aliexpress version, it should work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/115574944707?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_LxgfDnLRKa&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=ZgSh7VW9Rem&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
