@MaxxD In any case, you have a pretty good performance, in the TimeSpy for x170km I see ~12817 for Graphics score, if you are interested I can upload a screenshot.

Indeed score is pretty good. Specially since all stock. With prema bios tweaks it wil perform much highe

It would be great to see how much, I don't think the difference will be really drastic, although who knows...

Ur score is actually pretty damn good lol. Id leave it as it is for now.

 

until we manage to modify to bios 

 

Okay.

I'm not kidding.  I will check the HDMI connector.  I didn't want to switch the TV yet, because I'm afraid of flickering and blue screen and restart.

12400 at default looks pretty good and power uptake seems to be a bit higher this time with up to 157W.

 

You may want to experiment a bit with MSI Afterburner to see how much higher you can get and also to see if power goes even higher.

 

Have you tried gaming on the internal display to see if G-Sync works?

 

 

 

 

 

All settings are default, factory values. Yes, the display has G-Sync.☝️

I thank you for that!✌️

How can the RTX 3080 be pulled?  

What is the optimal OC that can be given to him?  Of course, you have to test it, but I'm interested in the average value. Thanks!

11900K + RTX3080 (x170km), the image was found in the web.

[crz]

Another attempt with the same configuration, the results go even higher.

Hehe, try a TimeSpy run then (normal version) and let us know your score, preferably with and without MSI Afterburner. I am sure it will be better than the 2080s.

 

I also would do a backup now before you try other stuff as at least you seem to have G-Sync.

 

I also do not think that with a card that is out of warranty you have to have the boost option when you may as well do a shunt mod instead and get more power irrespective of boost settings. 

 

@Meaker has done it already with this GPU so you may want to check what he has done or you can be happy with still having an improvement and a lower power consumption than before.

 

I never had internal G-Sync but external is flawless and yeah 1920Mhz locked clocks in games is very helpful.

RTX 3080 - More Power ☝️🤗

What does this mean? They have a upgrade ready?

It's been available for a long time, but you have to get it!☝️🤭

For starters try something like +150 clock and +600 memory in MSI Afterburner.

There is no risk as power uptake will be limited.

I doubt that this has much to do with what you are trying to do here.

No mention of LGA CPUs or 11900K.

The machine has G-Sync again (mDP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 cable is not connected) and today I switched to HDMI and apparently everything was fine at 1440p @ 120Hz.

 

 4K can also be set at 120Hz and there is G-Sync on the TV as well.

 However, if I set it to that, the image starts flashing as you can see in the video.

 

 Even if I reset (during the big flickering) the image to 1440p @ 120Hz, the flickering remains!  Could this be a software or hardware error?  Or an HDMI port?

 

 

 

The OC is ready and easy to use!  It is true that the CPU temperature is quite high, but if it is left at the factory value and used with air cooling, this is normal. ☝️🤭😆  Brings it close to the factory (165W) performance.✌️🍾

 

 

Shall I pull on it a little more?🤔🙃

so..you have gsync when using external monitor and now your gpu goes to around 165watts? did you do something to it?

[1610ftw]

Not sure how you try to do 4K 120 - via HDMI or MDP connector?

 

And that is a nice score - 13000 is near 🙂

 

The temperature looks quite high though, is that with max fans?

For benching I always use max fans to have a better base for comparison.

 

In any case you may want to go to 180 / 720 and reduce the GPU temperature at the same time, it should not go higher than 70C if you want max performance and for anything up to 175W that should not be an issue.

Got the GPU small OC. 🙂

Using an HDMI 2.1 cable.
But now I will watch it (after starting a new computer) with an mDP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 cable.
TV is LG OLED TV (Gaming) 4K 120Hz G-Sync 1MS (it has 4x HDMI 2.1 ports)...

 

The temperature is high because the fan is also running at idle speed.
I will connect the water system and then the temperature will be good.
According to the factory spec, the CPU heats up well...that's it. 🙂
I will try +180 / 720 when the water system is also connected to it.

this is timespy on the 11th gen with 3080. Watercooled as u can see the temps stay very cool.

What memory KIT is recommended for the Clevo X170SM-G laptop?  

 

At least 2x32GB DDR4 3200MHz.

I do not think that you may have any problems with memory working on the 10th generation of the CPU, so choose the most convenient options in terms of price and brand name, I prefer Corsair Vengeance or Samsung modules.

I choose this Kingston memory because I think it would be perfect: Kingston FURY Impact DDR4 Memory (2x32GB DDR4 3200MHz CL20)

 

My other X170 machine has 4x16GB of these Kingston Hyperx Impact DDR4 3200MHz CL20 and the 4 modules also went with i9 at 3200MHz @ CL20! Now I left the memories in that X170 machine and the i9 CPU was replaced by the i5-10400F and the 4 modules run at 2666MHz CL17... (the processor took it back because of memory support, but it is approximately the same as the 3200MHz CL20 value.. .so totally fine!)

 

Maybe I should remove the 4x16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL20 modules from that machine and put them in the Prema BIOS X170 machine?

 

The zTecpc X170 currently has 2x8GB RAM (2666MHz CL19)

 

Do you think, do you think?

In any case you should try to do it and see how it will work in your case and whether it will suit you in the end, I think it's almost perfect.

We need @ViktorV or @dsanke to help with this quest it seems.

ive tried asking araund but its a dead end
