    Hi everyone, hope you are doing well,
    Can anyone tell me from the attached picture what heatsink this laptop has for the GPU? I will buy this laptop and the owner know nothing and even he don't know how to open the laptop. Is it a single heatsink with one side fan, single heatsink with dual fans or Vapor chamber?

    This is a TM with gtx 1070 and i7 8700k Sager branded.

    Thank you in advance.

    They all look similar from there but as stock it was the single gpu heatsink.

    I sent an email to Sager support with the serial number to check for warranty and support if still available. Can you help me with that?

    No, if you have done that then that's the right way.

    The 1070 has the single fan radiator.

    I'm planning to use my GTX 1080 and replace the 1070, in this case what do you recommend about the heatsink?

    It will work but EU hot, I'd look into getting a vapor chamber even for a single card.

    Good advice, will do that sir, I'll send a request to Sager sales once I have the laptop on my hand.
    One more question: Is the VC from the KM1 can be used if I cut and mod it?

    Dual vapor chamber comes with gtx1080 by default but other vendors charge for that.

    Yeah. I think bro @bloodhawk cut and mod the VC when he installed the bigger TM Cpu heatsink on his P870Dm2/3.

    Let us know how you get on, it would be interesting just to see how the 1080 would get on with the single fan heatsink.
