mechguy Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I'm looking for best possible CPU and GPU upgrade to my GT683DX notebook. I noticed that the best CPU is the i7-2920XM. Is this correct? And is it plug and play or would I need the unlocked bios to use it? And is the 970m the best video card? Thanks in advance!

mechguy Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 After doing some digging around, I found most of my own answers. GTX 980m is the best video card and i-7 2960xm is the best cpu for this notebook. Upgrading to those two would cost me almost $600. At that upgrade cost, I'm thinking it's better to just get a new gaming notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you finally guess if a unlocked bios is necesary for a only CPU upgrade? About CPU upgrading...A NVIDIA GTX675M from DELL like this (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Alienware-M17X-R4-M18X-NVIDIA-Geforce-GTX675M-2GB-Video-Card-HXD3N-74W4GT/161884140859) will "be plug´n play" in a GT683R with a GTX560m? Will it need anything more than new thermal paste? Thank you in advance! Edited January 5, 2019 by arquillos New info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czy w końcu domyślasz się, czy odblokowany bios jest niezbędny do uaktualnienia tylko procesora? Informacje o ulepszaniu procesora ... NVIDIA GTX675M firmy DELL w ten sposób ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Alienware-M17X-R4-M18X-NVIDIA-Geforce-GTX675M-2GB-Video-Card-HXD3N- 74W4GT / 161884140859 ) będzie "być plug'n play" w GT683R z GTX560m? Czy będzie potrzebować czegoś więcej niż nowej pasty termicznej? Z góry dziękuję! NVIDIA GTX 675M from DELL works fine with the GT683 as plug and play, you only need to modify the driver to run at full performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelin19 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hi, guys. I have GT683R now and want to make an upgrade too. In my plans changing heatsink to GT60 (with GPU-to-CPU copper pipe) + 0.65A fan instead 0.36A stock + GTX 970M 6Gb (stock Clevo P770 version) + 2x8Gb 2133Mhz DDR3 HyperX Impact modules (ofc after unlocking BIOS) + CPU upgrade to 2820QM or 2860QM, because i dont want to abuse cooling system hard or overclock CPU. And another moment - i have 16F2 mobo from GT680R and will try to replace HM67 to HM77. Will post separate topic about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
