    Hey everyone newbie here,

    Hey guys I know many people have the GS70 stealth pro, however, I'm one of many who bought the product before they put in the 970m into the laptop so I'm stuck with a 870m.

    I was wondering if there was any possible upgrades to my GPU or the laptop in general because I'm finding that it gets pretty hot when playing intensive games such as Black Desert Online.

    Thank you for the read! Any input would be helpful

    You can replace the thermal paste to try and lower temps, but the GPU is unfortunately soldered in.

    Right, no CPU or GPU upgrades are available. A better thermal compound can help. @KongBakPao - Where are your temps at?
