When you upgraded your SM-G to the 3080, did you have to perform any special steps to get it working? (Aside from the usual INF modding that is). My machine came with Premamod when I bought it, so I'm guessing that makes the 3080 pretty much plug and play from there.

 

Mine came from System76, so its got their open source coreboot BIOS and EC. I just switched the GPU subsystem ID over to the X170KM so all drivers install without modding.

 

I never backported NVPCF ACPI code for Dynamic Boost so it always runs at 150W, and I believe one of the display outputs no longer work (mDP maybe) because of physical wiring differences on the SM vs. KM board. The TB3 on the back definitely works as that is what I use all of the time.

 

Oh and I am not sure if the seller on taobao is active anymore but back then I got a set of fans modded from the A51m R2 to work in the X170. More CFM and quieter!

If the BIOS mod was created by Prema after the GPU was released it should be supported and it is about 99% certain it will be supported.  If it was before the GPU was released then it is very unlikely. I'm glad that I don't have to worry about that kind of nonsense anymore. 

 

Sometimes I forget how bad laptops suck. Even the better non-BGA turds with desktop CPUs and MXM suck without a lot of stupid rigmarole. In hindsight I don't know how I put up with them for as long as I did.
