    Hi all, i have a P170EM with modded chassi, repasted gpu and sealed gaps between fan and HS.
    Whilst oc'd to 1040 core and 1560 mem i get max 93 celcius, which im ok with.

    but since im horse power hungry, i wonder wich of 880m, 780m and 8970m's Heatsink's are the best for cooling? the 880m's HS looks like it has the biggest pipes, but some say that 8970m is the best, so here i am wondering :)

    Kind regards, Niclas

    They are all the same heatsinks. I have the P170SM/GTX780M heatsink in my P170EM, temperature drop is ~8C with external conditions and GPU load type constant.
