@GoldenHawk what did you do with your old gpu??
i still have the gtx 460m somewhere which came with the system i originally bought and replaced it with the gtx 675m

, after upgrading to the gtx 680m i placed the 675m in my m17xr4 working perfectly.


Also Recently upgraded the Cpu from i7 2630qm to Extreme i7 2920xm as well as a bigger SSD of 240gb. just trying to get the best outta my system/





Revised Specs

Goldenhawk - M18xR1 Core i7 Extreme 2920XM / 32GB Ram / GTX 680M 4GB / 240GB SSD + 2 x 750GB HDD

Is changing the CPU easy ....how much did it cost you ..

And how did it ....

yes changing the cpu is very easy if you know how to teardown the lappy properly. but the extreme series does require a triple pipe cpu heatsink for it to work properly.

price was kinda high you can check ebay for current prices but it was worth it you cant get the 680m to work to its full potential without a high end cpu

i thought u had the 580m was looking to make my laptop sli 580m.

no i have the 675m which technically is just a suped up 580m with a new bios performance is really the same for both gpu's. IMHO you should just upgrade to a single 680m as it is future proof and also is faster than a 580m sli setup. you will also require a 330watt powerbrick for the sli setup.

check LINK for comparisons between 680m and 580m Sli


yeah cpu change was easy and i did upgrade to a triple pipe heatsink to accomodate the new cpu and also upgraded my gpu heatsink with the ones dell uses for the 680m they are 100 watt heatsinks have both sides for my future sli upgrade

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
