So first of all, I have the heatsink, and the second card, as well as a cable.
My problems:
1: No video, or any real information on how to install crossfire, It's probably not too hard, so that's the smallest of my problems.
2: The crossfire heatsink seems to have come without screws, I'd probably like to know where to get these, if that's at all possible, the third fan is installed, and there is some cables taped to the machine near where the second GPU will go, the crossfire cable isn't one of these however, but I do have one, so that's irrelevant.
3: I have a Clevo 7970m as my primary GPU, this works fine, and should be perfectly fine in crossfire. However, I have an MSI 7970m as my second GPU.... This would not be a problem if it had a white, plastic... clip thing for the crossfire cable to be inserted into, which is entirely absent. However, the pins are still there.
I'd rather not do a soldering job, and I have heard good things about the MSI cards, which are apparently what Eurocom uses in their models?
The laptop itself is branded as a Sager NP9370, if that's relevant at all, I've installed a Prema mod BIOS successfully.
So hopefully I can get help with the screw issue, and as a side note, if anyone is interested in the MSI card, which is perfectly functional, please PM me, it's only flaw is that it can't, at least I'm assuming without soldering knowledge be used for crossfire.

Out of pure curiousity, are my threads invisible? I never seem to get any replies, especially considering that the community is quite active.
This is a quite recent model, and the same things should apply to a P370SM/P375SM, so surely someone would be here with experience? -
Your threads aren't invisible. I just don't know anything about it. Sorry.
I did think the video cards had to be flashed to match your bios through, from a few things I read on here. No idea what issues you might run into. -

I've never heard of a MSI card working in a Clevo chassis, it may be possible though. You typically need Clevo in a Clevo.
Your best bet to get spare parts like screws would be to talk to your original reseller. -

Msi cards are not compatible nor can they do xfire/SLI since they do not have that connector soldered on which is required.

Since MSI never has had a dual video card notebook, it would make sense their cards aren't designed to be used that way.

Yep, SMCs are not free and MSI produce the card through their own channels like clevo.
