Official Clevo X170SM-G Thread

Not sure if that upgrade is possible, best to check all connectors and how the main board is mounted.

I have seen that board, pricing is pretty good!

OK, just checked my KM-G and SM-G and the connectors line up just fine, just have to remember that the KM-G has two Thunderbolt on the side vs one on the back for the SM-G 🙂

 

As for the mounting positions for the board itself there are plenty of pictures online so you will not have a difficult time finding them.

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?🤔☺️

The connectors parts are the same physically with regard to the case openings required as the SM-G also has two connectors in the same form factor, namely one USB-C that also doubles as a display port and one that is just a regular USB-C connector. Still there is obviously a risk that something will not work somewhere, maybe best to let the guys look over it who repaired your SM-G. 

 

You can check out the reviews at notebookcheck, they should have a picture from all three sides of the laptop.

 

Presonally I would not do it as I prefer to have 10 cores and 4 SSDs which is not possible with the SM-G chassis so I would check out if a 10 Core Xeon is working with the mainboard.

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)😑
