Jahsinn, awesome mod! Thats a lot of dedication and effort. Since you overclock your GPU. What are the voltage on the GPU and whats your CPU overclock settings at? Since you're eliminated thermal throttling and your temps are absolutely amazing, brilliant even.

Jakey, please don't take a hammer to your heatpipes at first. Test how the new card fits with your existing configuration before hand! Do this as a last resort I implore you. svl7 is an incredible contributor and I trust his posts a lot but I'll tell you don't demolish and damage your heatpipes prematurely! Test, record and test more before you go this route!

I'll tell you, I have a Clevo 7970m in my m15x. I choose to use the Clevo x-bracket so I didn't need to file down my 5730m x-bracket nor a 6990m dell x-bracket I purchased seperately. Buying screws that fit was much easier. The heatsink fits wonderfully and the clevo x-bracket had short enough posts to make excellent contact and screw-down pressure compared to the 6990m bracket.

My reply is only I don't want you to mangle and damage your heatpipes without testing seating your card after securing your heatsink. I believe this is fundamental.

Joined site the other month on my tablet. Good old username typo.

Regardless TI has a wealth of information and very intelligent users including hardware hackers. Great place to pick up info.

I don't post much but I have occasionally on nbr and xda. Will continue lurking and reading the threads here on TI
