jegarfor Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Is the new 970M not compatible with old GT70 heatsinks and from other partners? As you can see in this video you can upgrade the heatsink in a gt72 for the 970M/980M but...... do you think msi will make new heatsinks for other computers? I don't think so.....

richang Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 i want know same thing can i upgrade to 980m from 780m my gt70 20D ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTzZent Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yes, MSI use an other Heatsink for the GTX9**M Series, because the MXM Board has another Layout. GTX9**M Heatsink: GTX8**M / GTX7**M Heatsink: Here you see the difference between the two cards (GTX870M vs GTX970M). Anything above the RAM chips, located at other positions. MSI sells in Canada as just the GT60 2QD and the GT70 2QD with a GTX970M 3GB. When and where you can obtain the heatsink, I do not know.

Talon Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Those pictures look suspiciously like my photos! I hope you guys do the mod soon. I want others to join in on the GT60/70 upgrade party! Next stop we need to get svl7 to unlock those maxwell 970/980m vBios! This +135Mhz limit is killing me. I know this card has some ridiculous potential.

nainje Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 should I flash the Bios if I want to upgrade from a 675mx to a 970m ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cresterk Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 should I flash the Bios if I want to upgrade from a 675mx to a 970m ?Yes, it probably won't even recognize the card on the old bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iTzZent Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 only when you have a GTX675MX, than can you modify the Heatsink. When you have a GTX675M, the Heatsink is not compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedeks Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 What is the heatsink part number for the GTX9xx series for MSI GT70 notebooks, i'm searched it in ebay and appears alot of heatsinks compatible with several gt70 laptops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdblaster Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I have modded 670M heatsink to fit 970M and it is 'good' for now. I hit 88 C in Far Cry 4 on max settings. I will use laptop cooler and report how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
