8550GB Upgraded to x1900

Hi guys,

Just wanted to let you guys know a costumer upgraded his 8550 from a x700 to a x1900. Seems to work fine except for the thermal system that got a bit confused. Currently looking into what the consequences are and how to solve them. Probably going to use a fan mod I used on other notebooks already.

I'll update the thread if I have more info or a tutorial.

Also: I was told this notebook shares most of it's internals with the 8000 series and the M600 series. If anyone has more info on this I'd be happy to hear it..

I have an 8510GZ notebook with a 64MB x700 stock. I had purchased a go6800 256MB card to upgrade but the card was unfortunately defective.

I'm definitely interested in finding out if you address the heat issues. If so, I'm interested in purchasing either a 7600 or a x1900 option.

 

Hi,

The user has not reported any heat issues. It would seem a "plug and play" solution.

I am not confident the 7600 would even work. Gateway/Quanta notebooks have seen very mixed results regarding compatibility and I was actually quite surprised this worked.

Unfortunately, the x1900 is out of stock atm. They are due somewhere in december.

 

Jus out of curiosity what do you mean by fan mod?
