    Any 7950 GTX mods for better cooling? I thought there might atleast be some heatsink and fan options but I had a hard time finding anything.

    Pacal,

    I believe you were looking into the Clevo M570U.

    It has probably the best built in cooling feature for the GPU, as well as the CPU.

    Mid-range to high-end Clevo models have a built-in function command (Fn+F2) to toggle the all of the fan speeds to go Auto or to Max Speed.

    Its very useful to ensure proper cooling during gaming sessions. Most other notebooks with this caliber videocard dont give you such a cool function.... without having to software hack the fan speeds.

    Good eye Gophn, the Clevo M570U is exactly what I'm talking about. Any idea where I might find some pics of the Clevo M570U innards or undercarriage?
