    If you are just testing it you only need to install the heatsink to it and see if it boots (providing you have the right screws). If it boots into Windows, it will work but you may need to mod the .inf file of the driver to install. However, Dell cards do not usually work in Clevo machines, so your chances are not good i'm afraid.

    The 7 and 8 series had issues. It was mostly the 9 (bios mod) and 10 series which worked.

    Ok. I installed the Card. BIOS said "VGA=empty"
    And Nvidia said "no compatible hardware found"

    The BIOS simply reads a text value from a lookup table, since your card was not stock it has no value for it. The drivers were installed with driver signing disabled?

    No, I didn't do a driver.inf mod.
    I only tried to install normally.

    Actually it says "unknown" if it doesn't regoginize the card, empty is kinda worrying.

    @razor0601 Does your fan go out of control?
