    Clevo D900C/D901C are interchangeable for the videocards.

    You should not have any issues.

    Now my concern is the heatsink. Will the heatsink work with my system or not all. That is something that will worry me if it is not same.

    I don´t think so....

    The left one is my 7950GTX heatsink, should be similar to 8700M in M570RU. The right one is the original 8700M from D901C.

    If he is getting the MXM-IV model from a M570RU and putting it in the D900C, these are the things to do:
    - if this new card is replacing a current card, use the heatsink for the D900C for whichever card you are replacing.
    ... or if you are adding it as a second card, you will probably have to get a second D900C videocard heatsink/fan.... from vendors like Eurocom, Sager, RJtech, etc...

    I see, then you will need to order or buy a heatsink/fan for it.

    I would recommend to contact these guys first:
    - Justin @ XoticPC
    - John @ Eurocom
    - RJtech

    SLI cable is definitely inexpensive.

    But dtechlogic needs to get that heatsink/fan for his new card.

    And how much would that be?
    I thought the second card should come with the heatsink, or the heatsink should`ve been already installed by default...
