7970m installation in MSI GT783R ???

[thesuncatman]

Hi all ))

I'm going to change my laptop graphics from 580m to 7970m. But I doubt do it until I hear confirmation of the possibility of such an upgrade from the well-versed people in this venture.

1. First, according to information on the Internet on this issue i realized that i need to purchase a heatsink from another graphics card for laptops with the same cooling system. So I would like to know what kind of heatsink do I need?

2. I would also like to know - is here anybody here who have successful experience in installing 7970m in MSI GT783R or MSI gt780-xxx-based (1761-motherboard) laptops.

3. What in addition to the heatsink and the unlocked bios need me for this upgrade?

4. Does the card manufacturer ( DELL, CLEVO, ... ) make any difference?

Thanks.

1. If I'm not mistaken, you need the heatsink from a GX660R (because it has a Radeon Graphic card. Its the same AFAIK) or you may mod you current GeForce heatsink

2. There is one person I know successfully upgraded his GT783R to 7970M by modding the heatsink and flashing the Dell vbios

3. I dunno. Luck maybe

4. IDK. Maybe some other people would like to add some more info
