    Hi i owna Clevo p370sm with two gtx 780m in it.
    My question is if i can upgrade it with two gtx 980m.
    Since they have almost the same tdp and the same mxm 3.0b port I thought it might be possible.

    I have the schenker p723 the model before.
    Schenker told me it's not possible but I have read that it is possible with the bios mod from prema.
    I just wanna mak3 sure before I order one.

    I'd recommend touching base with Prema and asking him to confirm it's a feature he's enabled. I don't believe you'll run into a hardware limitation installing it, more of a compatibility issue with the BIOS/vBIOS.

    Update to the latest prema bios and it's plug and play I believe.
