ethik Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 hello,thank you for the answer.What is the website to order?The 7970 is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debianik Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethik Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thank you. I'll look on ebay I should not change internal cooling with a 580 or 675? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debianik Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 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,680mthat's for sure if you change for ati card ,for nvidia probably it will works without and modification 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xonar Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If you buy an AMD card, you will need to buy a 5870M heatsink AND make small modifications to it with a rotary tool (Dremel). If you buy an Nvidia card, you will need to either modify the 560M heatsink completely OR buy a 570/580M heatsink. The 150W power supply is sufficient for every upgrade except for the 570M over-volted and the 580M.People in Europe seem to have a much easier time finding spare MSI parts than in North America (GPU heatsinks).If you want maximum performance, @debianik nailed it in his posts. The 7970M without Enduro vBIOS + 28xxQM CPU (with ThrottleStop) are the best possible upgrades for this notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007trains Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks still having trouble finding a place to buy a GTX675m. All the ones i've come across so far are either not working or really expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
