    I bought new .5mm pads in anticipation of installing the 6970M, but after removing the 5850m, the pads on the heatsink looked fine, so I just wiped them off and reused them. So far, so good. Congratulations, look forward to hearing your results.

    Default M15x & 6970M / 6990M - What you need to know - upgrading, problems, solutions

    Im using 1mm pads and it seems they wont make perfect contact on my rams. Like they are arcing upwards and only half of the chipsets make full contact. Very weird.

    wonder what kind of GPUs this one is packing?

    Might sell my 6990/6970 to a worthy user of my choosing to fund a M17x R3 with 580m GTX. I'll make a decision by August if the 3D option is available with the higher nvidia GPU.

    I just got the response yestoday that I can't got a DELL 6970m with a nice price.
    The Clevo card may be the last option...And it has various color? Such as black, blue and green. What's the different?

    Hey guys

    Got my 6970m all up and running. Couple of issues though, in hwinfo GPU0 is reporting 90degrees constantly but not altering at all. Not valid? All other temperatures (including MEMIO) are fine, around 45 degrees at idle, and 68-72 while gaming.

    Also I'm getting great framerates, but a lot of screen tearing in Starcraft II - even with vertical sync enabled.

    Any advice guys?

    Cheers,


    Mike
