    Hello,
    It is time to mod the cooling of my HP 8770W and I need your opinions/advices.
    So, basically I’d like to replace the default fan with some high-CFM one. I choose two of them, widely considered as among the best:
    GPU fan from m17x r4 (BGF0 11,4CFM) and the one from zBook 17 G1/G2 (unknown CFM, but I heard about 13+ from some guys here)
    My question is - which one to choose as I definitely don’t want to mod them both? (one is going to be resold)
