Alr, Is there any like "general" guide for what sizes of thermal pads go where on the card. I got a general idea of where they need to go and ill experiment with different sizes in different places to see what works, but I'm asking in case theres a certain placement for the best cooling.

Good thing I use fedora then, I already had assumed that one of the main reasons nobody uses it is because it prob wouldnt work with windows. I already use linux as my daily driver. i did say something about it in my original message, my bad if i didnt make it apparent.

Ah thanks, good to know it'll work. weird that its not more popular to try tho, ive read around so much about upgrading the m6800, but never really seen anything about a GTX 1070 upgrade

So ive done quite a bit of research on upgrading this laptop, and from what ive found nobody has put a GTX 1070 in this device. I know for a fact that it would need a heatsink mod. I also know that the highest power stock card from the m6800 had a TDP of 100W, now the 1070 has a TDP of 120W. Now i was wondering if i could solve this issue with, a 330W charger, undervolting the card and maybe even limiting its power usage, and high performance thermal pads on the motherboards VRMs (at least the ones that i can connect to the chassis or heat pipes if any). I use fedora as my main operating system, so im not to worried about the bios not recognizing it. Does this sound like it could work. Im asking here first as I dont want to spend $200+ on a GPU that has no possibility of working.
