    Is identical to the 9800m Gt/Gts for clevo m860tu????

    Sager can sell me one, but i need to know if the headsink kit includes the copper case too.

    Why you opened another thread? :)
    However the heatsink is different from chassis to chassis, it doesn't depend only on the card like desktop ones...
    So yes if Sager sells you the M860TU heatsink it includes copper case for sure, but maybe also includes the copper part of CPU+GPU heatsink..

    Let us know!

    before you do so i would check at eurocom, they have them for cheaper.
    And they do have them for the m860tu, they sent me the one for the m860tu instead of the one for my m570ru. But i think its about 100 cheaper. And that was about a month ago when i asked sager

    apparently not...

    especially if you are buying it separately.

    $55 isn't bad for a custom piece of copper that size. I'd take it. Just make sure that it's specifically the M860TU heatsink.

    I think lastoneleft was talking about the entire gfx card...And I think that $55 is an acceptable price

    Does any of you who own the m860tu can confirm if the vga case module contains the direct screw holes for fixing the card to the case(like the m57xtu module case) or does it use some kind of back plate to fix the card to the lower case part???

    So did the heatsink from your 9600 not fit correctly?
