Ok, thanks

Ok, so it won't overheat right?

Hi everyone, I bought a GTX980M, as this one in the picture, however, should I take out the black part that is around the main chip?(The one I highlighted in red) Or should I leave it there? I just want to make sure the gpu gets cooled properly

Do the ones highlighted in yellow require thermal pads? Thanks

understood, thx

Hi, I just wanted to know if an NV75W heatsink is enough for a GTX980M for the Alienware 18 Thanks

Old configuration were two 860m, and the surface of their chips of those were covered fully by the NV75W, but it still should work with a 980m right?

Hi, since I have an older Alienware 18 I wanted to sell, I just wanted to make sure that the heatsink works properly, as you can see the heatsink does't cover the entire chip I highlighted in the picture, it that okay? The chip should be still cooled off properly right? (I will put thermal pads on all the chips of the GPU) Thanks

Okay thanks again!

Hi everyone, I finally purchased my new motherboard for my Alienware 18, and want to replace it... Do I have to do anything software-related, or bios changes before or after the swap? I also bought a new CMOS battery, all it takes is to replace it physically or I must do something on the bios also? Thanks for help

I understand, thanks so much for the info sliderfra

Okay, thanks

Good afternoon, So I found this heatsink for my future GTX1070 MXM for my Alienware 18, but its for the right side of the motherboard, will the laptop work properly, if I install the GPU on the right side? (this heatsink only fits for the GPU in the right side) Thx

Okay, I understand, thank you!
