    Will a Dell 680M work on my Clevo? With tweaking maybe?

    My system is a Clevo P180HM

    Could I get one to work?
    Will I find problems with the heatsink?
    What Thermal Pad thickness is recommended?
    Can Thermal pads be stacked and they will work the same?

    Currently I find it hard to get my hands on a Clevo 680M so maybe I'll have to get a Dell and make the proper tweaks. Hardware and software wise.
    So what do you all think?

    Thanks guys!

    Hey the dell one's won't work due to a different VBIOS. For the P180HM there is only one heatsink for it, so you can reuse your existing heatsinks, as for who would sell you a 680m thats ready for a clevo.. PM us? We're more than happy to sell parts.

    thanks

    Thanks Myth!
    I will be sure to PM you when I sell my 6970Ms so I can upgrade :)

    Do you have any advice on the thermal pads to use? Any general advice for installing them and getting the best setup?

    Thanks again! I'm looking forward to making business with you guys!
