    Thanks for the confirmation, its now on the list to hunt down. 3940XM going in this weekend with PTM7950 medium. How much rework was the RTX5000? i assume alot more than the 965M install, if i recall the RTX is a Type B MXM card? Therfore would need the 8770W heatsink

    yeah i see it now, my bad. As ive got 4 sticks of 8Gb its maxed but will keep an eye out for whichever turns up. i hadnt seen anyone confirm 2133 as working in the 8750W, were beyond normal use so its uncharted territory 😉

    I've heard that there are 2166Mhz DDR3 modules available but yet to find any. Is 1866 the best the 8750 can run or is it worth searching for the 2166 DDR3?

    apologies for many questions. the 965M is available in Type A, however the 980M is a Type B (dont think it ever existed as type A) so therfore is a longer card. How did you solve the issue where the card overhung the DVD port? Type A just about sits in the space left by the original quadro card. TBH its no biggie if i lose DVD player as i can get a "spare drivebay insert and gut the internals for a secondary fan and GPU sink, will probably get a JST splitter to run the fan from the CPU fan port as i cant seem to locate another fan port socket on the 8570w.

    ah, would have been good to know before i threw in 4 sticks of PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600Mhz 😄 Its maxed at memory limit, just not running at max memspeed. The hyperX 1866Mhz stuff is the fastest stuff out there so i'll get that once i sort the CPU upgrade and get all the heatsinks & heatpipes for the GPU upgrade. I've ordered the PTM7950 for the CPU work will probably go for the 40x80mm sheet so should have enough for GPU pads too if i use the 8770W heatsink. Question for those that have trodden the path of GPU upgrade. comparing 965M to the 980M, it seems like 980 wins on paper. within reasonable budget what is the best card to fit (aliexpress seems to have many many geforce MXM boards), based on drivers working (without need to reflash Vbios etc to see the 8570W)?

    Thanks for the response. Re: Thermal Management, would you reccommend the PTM over something like Artic MX-6? happy to get either for the CPU swap, just thought to ask. I know the heatsink and CPU are very close and the TPM might run to end of screws if the thicker stuff ive seen when looking to order. Re: GPU Upgrade - 965 / 980 i think are sensible upgrades, dont get me wrong i'd love to go P5000 and enjoy 16gb Vram, but alot of work. I think i have the standard screen (although im not sure where id check as its not called out in device manager or system information) details show the K1000M fitted. Which GPU cooler fits them? i assume the 8770W plate as the 8570W plate looks to be too small for the components to be covered and cooled.

    Great to see such amazing work done on the trusty 8570w. Recently got a i7 unit and maxxed the ram upto 32gb @1600mhz ( i have seen 1866 DDR3L HyperX is possible). i7-3940XM is awaiting install once i pick it up. I see alot of MXM cards are possible on the chat (965M/970/980 and the Quadro cards) Which is a sensible upgrade for longevity as i see some cards shorten the life of the machine. I see there is the NVflash and found a custom driver for the 965 on another site. and then there is the question of what bios etc works with what. Happy to get all heatsink separate parts. Is there a list of which to get? e.g 8770W fan shroud etc? i see you had a laaaarge pile of sinks, pipes and bits to get to the utopia you have now. Apologies for all the questions, your input Much appreciated, keep up the awesome work.
