    Hi folks!

    I've got one the new P150SM with GTX780m's and it is looking like the GPU cooler has had some upgrades since last year!

    I'm looking for someone who could kindly donate or sell me a cooler compatible with the 7970m/GTX680 P150 or P170 HM and EM series........ so I can measure and assess performance for potential upgrades for you EM and HM owners.

    In addition, I'm also looking for some dead MXM graphics card, and maybe even dead SM & EM motherboards for measuring and modelling so I can assess the feasibility of machining a one piece or 2 piece copper heat spreader.

    I need this to evaluate the tolerances of component profiles for potential clashes so I can make a "one size fits all" design, so if you have anything that might be of use (an old card, old motherboard or old cooler, old chassis etc) for the above models, get in touch and we'll make a deal =) - I realise these things are probably very unlikely to just be sitting about, but if I don't ask, I'll never know!

    Many thanks,

    :thumbsup:

    I have a gtx560m kit but I'm quite fond of holding on to it in case something happens to my current card (no igpu ) . :-\ this thread needs more attention!
