jonny30bass Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hello I just wanted to share my experience with upgrading my MSI GX640 with a Dell 7970m ES flashed with the Clevo HM Enduro Off vbios. I have the card up and running nicely with an idle temp of around 38C at clocks of 300/150 with 0.825V. I did a lot of heatsink mods so that the 7970m would work properly with my laptop. Here is a picture of my heatsink: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video HostingAlso I overclocked it using ASUS GPU Tweak. I'm running it with a stable overclock of 1000/1400 @ 1.1V. I did a 3dMark 11 Basic Edition benchmark and got a system score of 6420 with a gpu score of 7355. Here is a link to the results: AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-740QM Processor,MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD MS-1656 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator BAKED Posted August 27, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2013 Awesome! That's a lot of heatsinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliteturbo Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Wow I didn't even realize you can add heatsinks like that! I will be taking mine apart shortly and doing that as well as it should improve overclocking results substantially. What type of thermal paste/glue did you use?

What type of thermal paste/glue did you use?Your just use double-sided thermal tape to keep the small heatsinks in place. I use arctic cooling's mx-3.
