Official Clevo X170SM-G Thread

Now I was wondering if I replace the SM-G card with a KM-G card, will G-Sync be available on the internal monitor?🤔

 

The +15W GPU Boost is reliable, it already has HDMI 2.1, so 4K 120Hz is also available on the TV, only G-Sync is questionable on the 144Hz G-Sync SM-G model display.🤭

I also just placed my order for a complete (KM-G) motherboard.  eBay handles the entire process.   I paid all the expenses.   At home, I just have to wait for the package to arrive, they take care of everything.  That's perfectly fine.  

 

Is there a full service book available somewhere for the X170SM/KM-G model?  

 

All the parts are there to use the KM-G version and the picture will be complete.  

 

I hope I made the right decision!☺️

I think G-Sync won't work once you upgrade the GPU, but I personally wouldn't worry about it. Gsync is a gimmick anyways since we'd always want our games running at the monitor's max refresh rate anyways for the best experience.

 

I lost Gsync after replacing my laptop's monitor, and I found it really didn't matter. I haven't missed Gsync at all.

I thought of something else. Service Manual, help. 😄

 

G-Sync:

By this I thought that the current display would be an SM-G model original G-Sync display using a KM-G motherboard and an RTX 3080 MXM card. How likely is it that G-Sync will work?🤔

 

It is not of great importance, because in principle it will be supported by HDMI 2.1 (RTX 3080) when connected to a 4K OLED 120Hz/G-Sync TV. No? ☺️
