The chassis is stuffed and runs hot enough as it is. I dont think you would be able to enjoy a better card without it shutting down on you.

You would have to source the card from an ASUS as they use an upside down MXM config. The Core would have to be in nearly the same spot and the heatsink be big enough to cover. 400's were supposed to be huge. If you overcome all this, you still might have to deal with the motherboard not accepting the card.

Good luck, if you dont see anything searching then it probably has not been tried.

They did a major case redesign for the G53, including a different heatsink assembly Even if the card physically fits, odds are it will over heat (assuming that your BIOS even recognizes the upgraded cards).
