I have a Clevo x170sm-g where when it first boots the battery shows its not plugged in but the percentage doesn't go down, after awhile 20-40m every few seconds it will say it's plugged in and then it will say it's not after it's been on awhile it will stably say it's plugged in but any game will have low fps and big lag spikes iv already tried bringing it to best buy and they said it was "faulty ram" I tried each stick individually with no change, I also tried known good charging cables/bricks, and battery, iv tried to reinstall windows and install all drivers Specs: i9-10900K 64GB 2400mhz RTX2080super

Background lots of info on the laptop is in my initial review thread but a TL:DR is that this laptop is incredibly powerful but struggles to cool a 10900k (I know, who would have guessed it's hard to cool a desktop i9 in a laptop). I've been interesting in the hybrid coolers for clevo machines since before I bought this laptop, but obviously there are some problems. Mainly complexity, portability, and cost. The Parts I tried to keep this as compact and simple as possible while not compromising portability too much. I knew I needed a quick and easy way to disconnect the water cooling system if I needed to take the machine somewhere, there's really 2 options for this: Predone aliexpress kits with a 'water return function' that I was told is quick and easy but I don't know how much I trust them and they are quite expensive (another $300-$400 on top of the heatsink). Quick Disconnect Fittings I went with quick disconnects, the ones I got were from koolance. I was told the tubing is 3mm ID, 5mm OD. It's not, it's 4mm ID, 6mm OD. I had to cut up end off the rubber cover that shipped with the fittings and use as a kind of adapter in between the 3mm bard and fitting, this plus a zip tie seems to work pretty reliably, haven't had any issues but just in case I angled the laptop and positioned everything in a way that if one was to leak it wouldn't leak onto anything except the desk. (the fitting on the laptop heatsink are designed for 4x6mm tubing. I'll probably get some 3x5mm tubing and hope I can stretch in over the laptop's fittings. As for the rest of the loop I found this thing: It's a Barrow DARIDP-30, it's a pump, radiator, and mini reservoir all in one. It's perfect for something like this as it simplifies the loop to basically just 2 tubes between the laptop and it. Plus it's actually quite cheap, I got mine for $160 on eBay which is way cheaper than a pump+res+rad. The hybrid heatsink is from Aliexpress, here's a link for the X170SM-G/X170KM-G but they have one for a lot of Clevo laptops. Total Cost to watercool it is ~$600 which is quite a lot and honestly probably isn't worth it from a cost/performance perspective. Mini heatsink review Overall the performance of this heatsink is awesome however basically everything else was kind of eh. Mine arrived a little bit bent on one side but it still fit without issues. There were literally 0 instructions for where to place thermal pads so I just had to guess based off the stock heatsink, I guessed wrong... 3 times... Had to spend multiple hours trying different configurations until it wouldn't either hard crash under GPU load or throttle the CPU because the VRMs were overheating... The reason it took so many attempts despite only including 2 different thickness of thermal pads was that you have to stack thermal pads to make contact with most of the VRMs..... Also as mentioned above, I asked what size the tubing was so I could order QDCs and they told me 3x5mm, the tubing literally has '4x6mm' written on the side of it... The Benefits The main thing I was looking for was getting the CPU temp under control when playing games or just under short bursty workloads. That definitely happened, instead of the CPU stilling at ~60 and spiking up to 90+ it sits at 40-45 and spikes up to only ~70 max. (under a all core stress test like cinebench it still reaches the 90s). With the normal heatsink cinebench would throttle the CPU down to ~4.5-4.6GHz while pulling ~140W. Now it'll happily truck along at 5.0GHz while pulling just over 200W... Cinebench went from ~15000 to ~16400, I beat a stock 1950x xD. 3DMark scores honestly aren't much higher but temps are way lower. Without any real tweaking besides my quick GPU overclock that I knew was stable (+140 core, +800 mem) I got almost 12k in Timespy: It's also quite a bit quieter even with the radiator fan speed at 100%. Honestly might swap the fans with some Noctuas though. I believe any 120mm (25mm thick) fan should fit in that pump/rad/res combo thing. plus, like it's cool. Pictures Conclusion It's super cool. However if you just want to improve CPU temperatures I would highly recommend just getting the aftermarket air cooled heatsink as I tested it without the loop connected and while temps were obviously higher I was actually able to run 4.9GHz all core while pulling ~180W in cinebench. It also didn't spike as high during normal use. This is probably because they more than doubled the amount of heatpipes connected to the CPU compared to the stock heatsink. I'm just one to see how far I can push the limits and having a 10 core i9 @ 5GHz in a laptop is quite awesome, lol. Extras If you like this kind of stuff, check out @Meaker's thread here.

Last month battery capacity fell below 10%, it stopped charging. So I ordered a new one and received the battery this week (2021-05-05). After receiving the new battery, I replaced the old battery and plugged the charger. Without waiting for it to fully charge, just to see if the battery was getting detected, I turned on the system. It showed 86% battery available and also indicated that it is charging, so I shut down the system and kept it for charging. After an hour or so I checked to see if the battery indicator turned green, it was still yellow. The surface of the battery was pretty hot at this point. So, I immediately unplugged the charger and took the battery out and allowed it to cool down. After some time, I reinstalled the battery and turned it back on (without connecting the charger). This time it showed 10% battery. I thought it would be due to the battery change, so to allow the battery to fully charge I shut down the system and plugged the charger. Again allowed it to charge, this time I checked the battery temp (by touching the surface) at regular intervals but didn't find any heating issue. After waiting for more than 40 minutes, I turned it on (plugged in state) , but it was still showing 10%. Then I disconnected the charger, to see if the battery was draining or not, after 2 - 3 minutes of usage, the battery charge dropped by 1% (9%). Also I noticed one strange thing, that is the battery indicate icon is not showing any indication of charging. It stayed still and shows battery percent 8% available (plugged in). Its been over two days since I installed this battery, it is still showing 8% available (plugged in) I checked the board to see if there are any issues, didn't find any damage.

Hello, guys. If you like to solve complicated things it's a topic for ya. I've bought myself a laptop named Captiva advanced gaming r66-912 (real name Clevo NH5xVR), based on AMD 5600x tabletop PC. It has a great opportunity to unlock advanced bios and change timings and voltage. But there is a problem. I tried to download bios from the clevo's official website and unlock with the different guides, including changing of the dump through H2O programm. There is a guide on YouTube, for Clevo N960, but it has Intel platform and this method doesn't works with my laptop. May be it could be another way to unlock it. Or may be anyone knows a possibility to upgrade bios from running dump? I think i'm just only guy in the world with such a problem, but it would be great, if someone helps me to upgrade my bios. Thanks guys.

Hello I can´t get any gpu temp on my clevo laptop. The problem started when I reinstalled windows and formated all discs. After I installed geforce experiance I noticed that no program can monitore my gpu temp. I also noticed that I can see temp for arund 30 sec if I close and then start nvidia geforce experiance but it vanishes after that. No other problems detected, tried to reinstall nividia drivers 10 times now. First time posting, hope I did it right

Hello, I got myself an EXP GDC (NGFF) and connected it to a Clevo NK50SE Barebone with a Intel Core i7 10th gen (Desktop), 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz, and an integrated GTX 1660 Ti. The bios seems to be the insyde H2O UEFI BIOS v 1.07.05. The eGPU that I want to connect is a NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super Founders edition. It gets detected in both GNU/Linux (primary, Ubuntu (21.04 LTS) because of compatibility) and Windows 10. I tried to run Blender and Minecraft on Windows with the GTX 1660 Ti disabled, but both programs complain about the GPU not supporting OpenGL and won't start. I can imagine that it would be fixed when the dGPU would be disabled in the UEFI BIOS, but I can't find something like that. I am ok with flashing another bios. Thank y'all in advance lorhof1

Hi! Do you think i3 4100m notebook cpu worth upgrading to i5 4200m? I'll also upgrade ram 4 to 8 and storage HDD to SSD. Laptop is a 7 years old and has a barebone Clover chasis

So, I freaked out a little. I was using Cinebench 20 and noticed it was telling me I only had 6 cores. I opened CPU-Z and is telling me the same thing. I opened my BIOS and this is what it shows. What is going on? Anyone have any ideas?

I just got a Eurocom P5 PRO (clevo p750zm) and I wanted to flash it with a prema bios but it seems like the website is down and the bios is nowhere to be seen. I was wonder if any of you guys knew where I could find an archived download to a prema bios to it? Thanks

Hi all, I am trying to upgrade my CPU from i3-8100 to i9-9900K , I am currently running PREMA MOD v2.18.1263(1.05.aom1). as it comes in CPU-Z. Is this BIOS version compatible with the 9900 , if not which is the correct version and from to where to download the same? TIA.

I have a clevo p775tm1-g laptop from 2019. A few months ago the screen got hitted and has a small and barely noticeable stain. It's not a big issue and the laptop works as good as the first day. The thing is that right now I'm currently living in Europe and there are not many webpages that sell replacements other than eBay. So, I would like to know from someone who has bought replacements from eBay could recommend to get the replacement from there or if it's a webpage that sells replacements for my laptop? I attach some screens from ebay. For me, the prices are ok but I would like to hear (read) other opinions.

Hi all, first of all sorry for bad english, im from Ukraine Second, i have DTR desktop with awesome cooling system - Mifcom laptop on Clevo x170KM chassis The specs are i7 11700K 32 ram 3200 165W full blown MXM 3.1 rtx3080 16GB GDDR6 While machine running smoothly and CPU newer exceeds 80 celsius even when reaches 4,8 GHZ on all cores, GPU reaching up to 88 degrees and throttling, operating at 1400-1500Mhz at core clock (memory is OK) and also only power drawing 112-120Watts instead of 150-165 with 15w boost , which it should. I reapplied thermal paste , used Thermalright TF8, didnt help. CPU cool af but GPU overheating and using only 70% of its true potential. Please, advice On the pics you can see how it was when i opened it and other pics displays how i applied TF8 - crossed it on CPU and put it on center on GPU First two pics = this is how it looks when i open chasis to repaste Second pictures = me repasting it third = this is how cooling system looks - in all reviews in games it NEVER exceeds 75 degrees, usually seeting on 65-70 degrees with clocks like 1750-1900MHZ on GPU processor Mine is overheating 86 degreec celcium on 1500Mhz = NOT OKAY Please, advice

Hello Everyone, first post so bear with me... I've had this Clevo X170KM-G since October of last year and it's a great performer and suited my needs really well. However, pretty much since I've gotten it I've had this ongoing issue: The USB ports and my storage drive (M.2 SATA drive) will occasionally "disconnect", or become really glitchy. My mouse connected to a Type A port will stutter and then stop moving the cursor, my keyboard will stop working, etc. After a couple of months I've been able to deduce that it's somehow related to cooling. When I'm gaming and the fans are kicked up, there's no issues. But when the laptop is idle and the fans are not spun up, even if the CPU displays a lower temperature, it will happen. I've reconfigured the fans to always run up even if the laptop is idle but because of how jank and simple the fan software is... even if I run it up first, sometimes the custom profiles don't take unless I toggle between Automatic and Custom. So I've been encountering the issue on and off when the fans are not ramped up on the default profile. New issue though- I fell asleep watching some TV on the laptop and when I woke up, the mSATA drive was not displayed in "This PC". I've restarted multiple times and even reseated the mSATA drive in the same slot, no change. Still no detection. So I put the mSATA drive in a USB3.0 dock adapter setup I had, and the drive worked fine (because I initially suspected the mSATA drive had burned out). Putting it back in the same slot, still nothing. BUT, I put it in a different M.2 SSD slot, and now it works, even with a PCIe drive swapped into the same M.2 slot the mSATA drive wasn't working in. My guess is that there's some USB3 or PCIe switch chip somewhere on the motherboard which isn't getting proper cooling. Is there something else possibly going on from what you guys think? Or should I maybe consider seeing if I can remove the motherboard and diagnose it further? I'm hoping I didn't pop an mSATA switch on that slot either. For those wondering about having the laptop returned/repaired under warranty, I bought it used and I don't think the warranty is still on it. Not sure about any of that though, The parts inside are dated Jul 2021, and I'm not sure what supplier the original owner purchased it from. Any Clevo owners have experience working with them on RMAs in the past? Appreciate any help.

Hey im thinking about buying a clevo p651p And its just a plain aluminum finish on the back, so i want a custom skin for it, or a custom aluminum label. Anyone know about where to get such things?

I need help to build a Laptop hackintosh. The laptop lists that I found in many sites are almost all discontinued. The best I can find in my supplies for video editing with Adobe CC (no games) in Laptop version is a Clevo P751DM2-G. Could you please tell me if I'll get a hackintosh working with this machine? Clevo P751DM2-G | GTX-1070 8GB Intel i7 7700 - 3.6Ghz - 4.2Ghz | Cache: 8MB | 65W | 4 core | Threads:8 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) wireless: Wifi Killer 1535 AC | Dual Band, 80MHz, 2x2 | 802.11ac | 867 Mbps 1x Crucial MX300 275GB M2 SSD Disk The BIOS of this machine is very flexible. They say that is very suitable for many OS as Linux and others. No hackintosh info available... We need new laptop alternatives. Namely machines more modern ones and more RAM powerful. Is there people that ware tried to build it with this machine? Best Fernando

Hello everyone, This is a tricky question and I believe there is no real easy answer to this question but I'd like to hear what you think about this. I currently have a clevo p650ra wich as served me well for nearly a year already. To be fair, I find it perfect in nearly every way but it is a bit bulky, and the 2gb 965M seems very outdated compare to newer graphic card. It is also quite bulky and heavy. btw it also has a 7820hk, 16gb of ddr4, 240 ssd, 750gb hdd. And is still in perfect condition, only a scratch on the back of the lid. Recently the shop I bought it from got a new laptop in store. The clevo w650kk1. Since I have been very happy with clevo I figured I could keep going with this brand. The w650kk1 has, A i7-7700 ( they say 65w tdp so I think it is a full desktop version of it) 1050ti 8gb ddr4 Sold without hdd/ssd (I have a few ssd/hhd lying around) The whole for 1000 € shipping included. Do you guys think it is a good idea to go for an upgrade while I can still sell my current laptop at a good price ? Looking up similar laptop on ebay showed a used HP omen with lower specs at 1000 € ... and it was the cheapest I could find. Therefor I'm hooping I can get about 650/700 € out of it.

I was looking at the Prostar/Clevo n850hk1 laptop. I will be using this machine throughout college and I will be doing a good deal of typing. Does this laptop have a good keyboard? That'll be the deal breaker for me. Everything else is perfect. Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Prostar-N850HK1-1920x1080-i7-7700HQ-Bluetooth/dp/B01MTELLFK?th=1

I'm looking for an custom Clevo 870 and I'm interested in one of the 2 below: xoticpc malibal I'd rather go with the one on Malibal because I can pick the keyboard layout I want (different from english), an option I did not find on xoticpc and another reason is that Malibal has better shipment options for Europe. Apart from this... I fail to understand Malibal's naming for the laptop models... The model on Malibal is: LX 870DM while the one on xoticpc is: P870KM1-G Looking at the official clevo laptop models naming I can indeed find in the list the P870KM1-G but not the LX 870DM, in fact, there is not even 870DM listed. Searching for more about this, I've found a review here. It seems that the 870DM uses Z170 chipset. While the 870KM1 uses Z270, info here. Am I missing something? 1. Why would Malibal use Z170 chipset with the 7700k? I mean its possible but, why arent they using Z270? 2. Whats wrong with the LX before 870DM and why isnt 870DM listed in the official Clevo website? Is it outdated? 3. Has anyone managed to get custom layout from xoticpc? The only "international" option seems to be: Power Cords.

I have a Metabox branded Clevo P650SE with a failing right hinge, as well as a crack in the screen bezel as a result of this. I was wondering if anyone was aware of somewhere I could buy replacements for these parts? Mostly the bezel, I think I've found a couple of places selling hinges. Edit: I'm in Australia.

Hey y'all.. I'll try and make sense I have a clevo laptop (Sager,metabox and others) and it's running a 1070. I bought a 2nd hand Alienware AW2310 120HZ monitor. When I first plugged it in it had the 120hz option in both windows and Nvidia control panel. Kept going into sleep mode if I tried to push it more than 95hz.. considered this a huge upgrade over the 60hz laptop screen and it was cheap so it will do.. Loaded up Overwatch and was blown away it ran at 130hz!! Tried Fraps and in game counter and yep it's 130 in Overwatch only so happy days.... Or so I thought. Did a Nvidia control panel update and now it can't do more than 60hz!! I've rolled back and re installed and nothing!! Please help me!!!!

Hello everyone. I have the chance to purchase a Clevo P751DM2-G with gtx1060 barebone at ~1100€. I'd buy the CPU by myself (probably a 6400, maybe 6500) and pair it with 2x8GB of RAM and the combo SSD-HDD from my old laptop. Then (when I have the money ) maybe add a pci-e m.2 ssd. Does anyone know how it performs? Thermals? Noise? I don't care about battery life and weight, it will operate while plugged in 99% of the time. I've heard (in this forum) about Prema bios: what is it? Is it so necessary? Can you install it aftewards? Thank you

So recently I traded my gaming desktop for a Sager NP9773 / Clevo P770ZM. It has plenty of power except the GPU. I was wondering what my upgrade path would be and how I could do so. I've built literally tons of desktops but I've never done a laptop before and just don't want to forget an important step. i'm looking to spend between $200-$300 on the GPU upgrade. Any suggestions?

I overclock i5 6600K on P750dm2, and use prime95 to test the stability. When the power consumption hits 110w, then the CPU frequency gets down to 3Ghz or lower.

When do you guys think CLEVO will make a barebone based on intel's 300 series and support 8th gen Intel Cores?

So I recently had a discussion with a guy I recently met while discussing ASUS RoG laptops. He was (and still is) in the market for a notebook that's portable and also has a lot of processing muscle on both sides for gaming and heavy tasks. He initially was set on purchasing the ASUS STRIX GL502VS due to its performance and attractive price of around €1500 (around $1768), but the power draw issues due to the use of a 180W adapter instead of a 230W adapter soured the deal and he gave up on it as a result (the current models do ship with a 230W and there's an RMA program for it FWIW). So he's searched around and he's come across the Clevo laptops. More specifically, he's come across the Clevo P950 and P650. I don't have experience with Clevo laptops, but they seem to be the same company as Sager, so I checked on the equivalents and they seem to be almost similar spec-wise, with a couple of minor differences (the P650 doesn't have Optimus, for example). So this really begs the question. I don't have much experience with Sager/Clevo laptops, but I know lot of guys here do, and I'd like to ask what do you personally recommend? (And please, no "just build a desktop" answers)
