MS16f2

they dont use optimus

What is CPU load in CoH or GM13 ?

Tried any other drivers ?

Clock is for 3d or stays in 2d in these games ?

flash bios

try to underclock GPU and check then

it's for 100% soldered but ofcourse can be replaced but with hot Air station or something similar

why you neeed to replace it ? MSI doesn't start ? then you can disassembly and check what S/N or whatever you need to buy new bios chip

because gt550m it's on mainboard then probably vbios stored in mainboard bios ?

about heatsinks for 7970m check FS: Brand New MSI Heatsinks gtx570m,560m,580m,5870m,460m,670m,675m,680m

about throttling - need unlocked bios and raide tdp/tda values if i good remeber [dont have that laptop but older]

bad :/

Can you show you burned 680m card from both side ?

What temperatures you get while playing ?

You mounted second card on MSI ?

still have problems with temperature on 680m ? then still don't stick correctly gpu&heatsink - must be some space between than blocking transfer heat to heatsink

yes of course

check

that's only CPU pushed to the limits

furmark tested now [only furmark] with little OC 785/1050 temp under 85C - short test

almost 160W on the wall

then you can combine both and you can easily can get in normal usage 180-200W

150W delta can handle to max 165-175W - then no good for XM

msi GT660 with 920xm working in max 25x 4/3cores withou HT and 6990M with litlle OC [mean little but it's max for my card] and of course don't use battery

personally use 230W delta with changed power cord from my original 150W

compare card 580m to your - probably need but im not sure

You still don't stick both card and heatisinks without any paste/thermopads to know how much you need paste/copper plate or what prevent to stick gpu core to heatsink ?

before ivy bridge msi doesnt supporty any switchables option to save power- then you can put almost any card [except kepler with some exceptions]

check his tools to fan regulations - maybe its works

Laptop Forums and Notebook Computer Discussion

turbofan button works ?

yes exactly - thermalpads or paste

first time see shim /copper plate to gpu core option

you do like I said previous to check how heatsinks sticks to gpu core and ram ?

@Paul Kadoshnikov

remove all paste,thermalpads and stick card and heatsink - check if gpu sticks with heatsinks and also ram should sticks with heatsinks- then you can use paste on ram and ofcourse for gpu core

if you don't like paste on ram then use 0.5mm thermalpads on ram

if you have nvidia card then for sure you need to modify actual heatsink or buy ready to mount FS: Brand New MSI Heatsinks gtx570m,560m,580m,5870m,460m,670m,675m,680m

that's for sure if you change for ati card ,for nvidia probably it will works without and modification

If you don't use CUDA cores then 7970m should be near 100% faster than 675m=580m

Try ebay, nbr market, or market here.

You can try to buy clevo with enduro-off bios.

looks like you have temp problem even on default clock :/

try to drill holes undder the fan - in that bottom acces panel

also usying laptop on flat panel/desk still blocks air

forgetting about polishing your heatsink with 3000+ grid

Personally use gt660 with 920xm es with max possible multipler 25x but without HT - and with drilled holes I can play in GTA4 on flat desk but much better is to make bigger "room" under the laptop.

yes you can

cpu to i7-28xxqm if you need
