    Hi guys,

    I am currently using a 680m on my Alienware 17 laptop and have plans to upgrade to the newer 780m. However as I am currently using the default 2 bridge heatsink that came with my 770m, I am fairly doubtful that it is enough for my 780m. Anyone knows where can i get those 3 bridge heatsinks? I have searched high and low in sites like ebay to no avail at all. Does the R3/4 ones work with the new alienwarte 17? Feedbacks are greatly appreciated! Cheers!
