    Hello everyone,

    I need help with my MSI GT70 2OD 075FR

    I have my motherboard and gpu who are HS.

    I found on alixpresse a motherboard and a gpu but this one is not a 780m I replace it with a 970m

    my questions are simple :

    1) do you think it's a good thing to replace everything ( motherboard 162 euros + GPU 177 euros )?

    gpu 970m 1: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32958128785.html
    gpu 970m 2: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000021397378.html
    gpu 970m 3: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/33057743915.html

    motherboard:     https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/33035028140.html


    2) am I obliged to modify the heatsink with this card?


    3) do you know the size of the thermal pads for the cpu and the gpu?

    thank you for your answers

    best regards John

    The heat sink needs to be modified, and the thermal pad needs 0.3mm thickness.
