Experience with 680m on M6700, some useful info for the upgraders.

can some one confirm:
1)no pads on red zones
2) 1mm pads on yellow zones and 1.5 mm on other?

 

1) no pad on red zone, i add it on my own. Not critical parts. The top red zone requires thicker pad (maybe 2mm i cannot remember).
2) cannot remember sorry. Original heatsink already come with thermal pad, i just add in some for the red zone and those in yellow zone but not 100% covered by original thermal pad.

The top 2 square yellow zone is very important. I use too thick pad on top red zone earlier and that make the 2 yellow squares lose contact to heatsink, at the end burnt the card.

 

I used the ones that were already on my k3000m. I did add new artic silver.

I did have to heat gun off the xbracket but that was easy with a hair dryer.

 

Hi, can you give me an advice of where did you get drivers for 680m. I have the same rig but cannot install any driver even from LV2GO. Maybe you can also check my thread if you have some free time. http://forum.notebookreview.com/del...ck-screen-after-installation.html#post9393961 Thank you

 

Maybe your best bet is to mod the inf file yourself if necessary? There is a guide here along with some modded inf files (by LaptopNut)..

Hello,

Can anybody say to me a ebay offers or other when i can buy it ? ( the biggest cooler too if it possible)

Ps : i'm french sorry for my bas english.

 

Hey buddy,

I've got a Dell 780M 4GB in stock, you need to get 5 quality posts so you can use PMs!
The K3000M heatsink is fine with whatever Kepler cards.

 

I don't have 5 post on forum so i can't PM you.

Please say how much for you 780M 4 gb ? But the card is fully compatible to M6700 ?

 

I'm interested too. What's the price and can you ship overseas?

 

I'm French actually just check your visitor messages, I'll drop you my email addy. The card is fully compatible with the M6700, check that thread in a polish forum: Dell Precision M6700 - Forum Notebookcheck.pl

@Extremal
I believe you have a M6600, in this case it won't work I have sold one to Lnd27 and it didn't work out in his M6600. The latest cards are more picky with the older gens laptop.
