    I got some OCZ FREEZE and plan on doing my cpu and gpu...Is getting to the GPU easy? Remove all doors and battery then just remove the rest of the chassis screws? will any springs pop out like lid latch or anything?

    on my 6860 no springs have popped out, so it should for your 7811. once you take it apart a few times you can do it in like 10-15 minutes. just make sure you remove the lcd and get those screws.

    forget the 9800m GTS, its not worth it, its not like its getting very hot anyways.

    just do the CPU and DO NOT TAKE the thermal pad off the northbridge. I learned that the hard way..
