Currently, the price of the 2080 Super is much more than the price of the 3080 card...it won't go much below that. The price of the official manufacturer KM-G motherboard is $571 (+ the cost of shipping and VAT, possibly customs handling) and overall it's not that simple...yes!

The KM-G model officially supports the following, but that does not mean that other types cannot be used.☝️ (maximum not 100% supported) CPU: GPU:

Currently, only Eurocom (USA/Canada) sells X170SM-G and KM-G parts, and the complete machine can also be assembled. Unfortunately, the Xeon W-1290P processor is not supported by any machine. None of the Clevo X170 models are officially available elsewhere in the world (Europe and Asia)...unfortunately!😑

yes, absolutely!☝️✌️

The KM chipset supports the next generation of CPU and GPU’s. Most of the other items on the motherboard are pretty much the same.

The KM-G motherboard can be easily installed instead of the SM-G! The port allocation is the same, only the function of the USB-C ports on the right is different.☝️✌️

I could get a KM-G card (€280) and it is here in a nearby country. Installation can be a problem in the SM-G housing.🤭 This CPU is also sufficient for games. There, you need more GPU power, the Processor is not working very well. 100% enough for 3080 16GB MXM card.

Yes. They also deliver to Europe/Hungary, but the price will be double or more! 🙃🙄

Is it not possible to get the motherboard in Europe? That's pretty bad though!

It's not easy! 🙂 Unfortunately, it is not possible to get a sheet, if so, it would still be worth what they are asking for it, but there are extra costs (+delivery, VAT and 27% VAT, which is also charged)😑 i7-10700T (67c temp max.) + RTX 3080 MXM TimeSpy test Score.

Thanks! Then it's not good, because Thunderbolt 4 (2 ports) means you can't put the board in the SM-G's case, right?🤔☺️

Can the X170KM-G motherboard be installed instead of the X170SM-G?🤔

And if I bought a KM-G card? I would build it into the SM-G housing and put in the SM-G components. (i9-10900KF, 4x32GB DDR4 3200MHz CL20 RAM, 4x2TB M.2 SSD, RTX 3080 16GB MXM card...) is this not a good idea?🤔😁 Prema BIOS is not included (KM-G), but you can certainly open that BIOS if necessary!(?)

70W+ its okay. 🙂 Unfortunately, neither. Tried i9-10900K and i7-10700K. Thanks! Im looking to next time. As far as I know, an official distributor, if you get something like this back, they will send it from a Chinese manufacturer and replace the cpu socket with a machine. This was not done elsewhere, it was only fixed there. So it's not easy.

Unfortunately, the K processor does not work in it. I have to think about what to do. i7-10700T processor works perfectly. Unfortunately, I cannot get a motherboard, not even from a distributor. Anyone have any ideas? Anyway, it didn't start now, this state just came! That's all about the used Clevo machine... I don't have many choices, I think I'll keep the 10700T cpu and use it...and that's how I'll go to the grave!🤔🙄🥲
