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!🤔🙄🥲

The patient has risen! Unfortunately, he had a lot of trouble! I don't even know how it got here. Full voltage had to be rebuilt and many parts replaced, according to the specialist. The i9 won't work in it. i7-10700T was tested, which works perfectly. i7-10700K will still be tested....just in case!? CPU socket contact legs (a few pieces are missing), the contact surface is missing, somehow melted.

Extreme Custom (14.238) Normal (13.797)

A really nice result! You got a very good kind of 3080 card, that's a fact! I wish you good use! My 3080 card can do much less OC than yours. Where the difference is noticeable is the Benchmark. Not a bad performance from an SM-G model either.✌️😋 Time Spy I hope I will have the opportunity to try the external "Desktop" GPU Modding option on an MXM socket...😄🤭💪

I managed to get the original Prema BIOS for my machine from the laptop manufacturer (with great difficulty). For safety's sake, it's good to have this as well. Although I previously also saved the entire BIOS from the machine, I thought that if there was a way, I would get it from the manufacturer. Gluten! ✌️🤝

zTecpc said that the machine is from Sager, and Sager tells me to ask zTecpc for Prema BIOS, which I can put on it. Each points to the other. But that's good. No comment!☝️🤔 I thought I would ask for help, software support. I will solve the hardware part, I know a specialist who deals with this. The BIOS chip is arriving.

BIOS Chip. It rots at leg 5. (Si / IO0)

Unfortunately, the source of the error has been found. The BIOS reset didn't work because there is nothing to do. I don't know how this happened. I know someone who does it. I hope something will come out of this machine this year. 🙄

Yes. Looks like it will be needed. Original zTecpc Prema BIOS is saved fortunately. (you can even get off the machine if needed)

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out well. I did everything as you wrote.

How can this be fixed? Full BIOS reset? CMOS battery and laptop battery were removed and FN+D (20 sec) was also tried, but no result. No picture after power on. Keyboard RGB then changes to blue after 20-30 seconds and does nothing. Can this be fixed somehow?🤔😌

I have already solved it by rounding the value to 100.😉

I did "Override" and since then no picture or sound. I took out the CMOS battery and the battery and it was not connected to the network either. I put it together after 10 minutes, but there is no picture. Shortly after switching on, the keyboard turned blue and that was it. What can be done with this? Is the machine trash? 🙄🤔
