Great post! I upgraded the same several months ago and had I seen your post it would've taken half the time. I haven't had any issues except a slight increase in heat from the stacked drives, but I guess that to be expected.

Hello guys! I have been running a M14xR1 i7-2720QM, 8GB , Primary - SSD Samsung 840Pro 256GB, Secondary - WesterDigital 500 GB, GT 555m 3.0GB. I joined to get the most out of my current system until its time to upgrade. Looking at best thermal grease to lower temps, GPU overclocking programs, and tips for performance settings. Stay warm! It's -17 below here in Minnesota!

I am still running bios A05 and everything is running great on mine. However I am still running Windows 7 with a Samsung 840PRO 256GB SSD and 8GB of Hyundai Electronics DDR3.
