Replace E6400 Intel graphics with Nvidia

Oh... What should I put in to eBay? I tried and nothing relevant came up but then again I've been putting in dimensions of copper The thickness needs to be .81mm and the dimensions need to be 1.34cm x 1.34 cm. That's according to:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/del...-e6400-similar-performance-cooling-guide.html

I guess I could be a little off though but not too much.

 

I specifically used this:
DV6000 DV2000 TX1000 DV9000 F500 F700 GPU Thermal Pad Copper Shim | eBay

Does it just fine. Perfectly fine indeed.

 

OK so an extra $9 (with heatsink shipping) to prevent it from frying, so it's worth it. Are these better than thermal pads? Or do I not use them because the die is not exposed? Thank you very much for the link, you really helped

 

The copper mod is way better than the crappy pad if done right. Paste the die, put on the copper, paste the copper, and put on the heatsink.

 

If you are getting the Nvidia mobo, you basically HAVE to get the new heatsink that will support the Nvidia chip.

And yes, the copper mod itself is worth $15. I would like pay $15 for that copper piece. Thank god it only costs $2.

 

OK, that guide will help me because it has pictures . As long as the temperatures stay pretty far away from 105 Celcius at load I'll be happy.

Edit: I'll get the M2400 heatsink from eBay. And maybe, but onlinemetals.com charged $.26 for the copper and $15 for shipping.

 

Just use that copper from ebay link I gave you. Trust me it hits 68c for Nvidia with cpu and gpu at 100%.

Besides that you should be fine. Just make sure to clean out the copper with alcohol, etc, you know the drill.

 

Yep. Thanks for your help, you really helped me make my laptop more awesome

 

Well im sticking with my E6400 for a long time. Let me know if you have any other problem. Just don't expect blazing power with the Nvidia chip though.

 

I won't but it sure will be an improvement. Actually one question. What's the power difference between the 370M (M2400) and the 160M (E6400)? Is it worth the extra $20 for the M2400 motherboard becuase i tcan support many new features or anything like that?
