M17X R4 GTX 680M MSI Upgrade

Hi Guys,

I've just upgraded my GPU card from a GTX 660M to 680M. Everything seems properly installed but somehow, my laptop runs a lot hotter compared when with GTX 660M. Idle temperature starts at 58C and when playing games can hit up to 89C. There is also a slight throttle from 771MHz to 754MHz but only for awhile. I've been scratching my head and searching everywhere in the forums for hours now and still cannot really tell what the cause is. I've used MX-4 thermal paste and new thermal pads. My only suspicion is either i've used the wrong thermal pads or thickness?

Managed to solve the problem. Apparently there is a black tape sticking on the heatsink gpu contact. I removed it and now my max temp is 70-71C. Normal gaming is around 65-68C.
