Hey, I possibly will be selling my KM-G really soon. Nothing wrong, just need to go with something smaller for work travel. Intel 11900K RTX 3080 64Gb RAM @ 3000MHz CL19 I believe 2TB Western Digital Black SN850 as primary drive 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus for games and what not 4k 120Hz display - I installed this, I also have a 1080p screen that comes with as well. Hybrid Air/Water Cooling Heatsink - can work on air or water I have beefy heatsinks on both Hard drives as well. External Water Cooling Pump/Reservoir Brand New extra keyboard as spare Unlocked Bios Wifi 6E AX210 upgrade With the water cooling and fans maxed, I have all CPU cores locked at 4.9GHz. I dont know much about OC so it may go higher. Only thing wrong with it is the backlighting on the X key has a color not working but I have a full spare keyboard that comes with the sell. The Ethernet port quit working, not sure if it snagged or what as I travel quite frequently. I currently use a USB C to Ethernet adapter and I can provide that if needed. I swear I see faster internet speeds using this adapter than I ever did previously. Im thinking the solder joints on the motherboard came loose as I travel all over the world and this laptop has survived tons of airport security handling it as I carry it through checkpoints. Not sure what this is worth at the moment but make me an offer. Id like to get $2500 out of it considering all the water cooling mods.

So just out of curiosity, I ran a Timespy Extreme benchmark since my laptop has a 4k 120Hz display that I installed into it. Is there a way to edit the whitelist in bios for the screen I installed so I can get Gsync back? Display B173ZAN03.3 Score was a 6512 which says Excellent. Is this a decent score for a RTX3080 and 11900k?

Hey all, I just installed the hybrid water heatsink and trying to test if my thermal pads are making good contact on the vrms. Is there a way to tell? I plan to pull the heatsink and look for impressions when I find my good thermal paste. Right now its got Artic Silver 4 as the thermal paste im using for testing. I have 11900k CPU. Its set at a -130mv with all cores at 4.9Ghz. Cinebench R23 gets around 15400 with no crashing on normal testing with temps reaching about 86C max. For comparison sake, I had to have the cpu clocked at 4.3Ghz previously to complete cinebench without thermal throttling so the new water heatsink is making a huge difference in temps. I haven't experienced any crashing yet. The weird thing though is I can be sitting idle or gaming, temps never go above 65C but I get random throttling on individual cores down to 798Mhz. Is this a sign the VRM thermal pads are not making good contact? Thanks!

I remember reading on the old forum someone had found replacement fans with a better blade design that aided in cooling. Anyone have a lead on these? I'm swapping in the watercooled heatsink and figured I'd do the fans too if I can find them.
