    Hello and a Happy New Year to everyone,

    Like the title says, I have a Clevo NH55AFW (Ryzen 9 3900 / RTX 2070) and it's pushing 2 years now.

    I've been thinking about upgrading to a 3070. Since Clevo is still manufacturing and selling the same laptop, but with a 3070 (NH55VRQ), I figured the GPUwould be replaceable, but I'm getting mixed reports about it being possible.

    Has anyone tinkered with these? Is it true, like some say, that the GPU isn't replaceable?

    GPU is soldered (BGA), although the CPU is socketed AM4.

    So GPU is not upgradable sorry.

    Have you played with and tweaked the 2070?
