hardpartying4u Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I have a 780m from my old old laptop that bricked lol, my new laptop has come with a Radeon r9 m270x, would there be much involved in installing the nvidia card, heat sink wise etc and do you have to unlock the bios etc as you did with the R4 to get it to work?

Khenglish Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 All that should be necessary is to move thermal pads to properly cover the inductors. Otherwise it should be plug and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolitic Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It should mostly work, though in my opinion you might want to reapply thermal paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJGX Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 You would need to move the heatsink too as NVIDIA and AMD have different heatsinks.. Also reapply thermal paste and use new thermal pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
