    @Gilang Luqman you'll need a corresponding heatsink as well. Nvidia 8600M are notoriously prone to failure. I would get a motherboard with Intel iGPU if I were you.

    thanks for advice. I searched many review that 8600m is faulty.
    I will get same model (A1273687A) with intel GPU then. Thx :D
