Just received my M6800. I have to say that after using it for a bit I'm even more hesitant about upgrading to an M5000M than I was before. With a K3100M the temperatures are higher than I was expecting, and the fans louder. Where I live it's quite warm, and the laptop doesn't take too long to become uncomfortable. Not sure how other people's M6800 handle a 100 watt card

I'm struggling to decide whether or not that's worth it. A dremel + M5000M is over $500 for me, whereas an M2200 is less than $200 and is already twice as powerful as what I'm using now

What sort of modifications need to be made to the NVIDIA heatsink for an M5000M?

I'm about to buy an M6800 which comes with K3100M. I was planning on upgrading to the M2200, rather than something like the M5000M as I don't feel like I'd need the extra power and am more wondered about thermals. Does this GPU require a heat sink modification?
