    Hello, I found that clevo cards work on g73jw if flashed probably. I wonder if this is going to work on g53 model. They both have the same sink design, but different mobos. I couldn't find any trial or a success /fail story on the internet,Im aware that I need a g53jh model, and Im thinking of a possible way to flash a g53jh bios into a g53jw mobo. please help. Thank you all.

    I've had my own look and nothing really comes up, must be a model not many people experimented with so you would be breaking new ground on the upgrade.

    As for the bios flash, that would be quite risky.
