    I just got my new m9750 in and i reapplied thermal paste to the gpu and it is still running hot.. Its a 7950 gtx and its hitting 95 96 under full load for games. Anyone have any ideas? I used artic silver 5 and i tried every application method out there.... im stumped. Also the gpu fan doesnt seem like its kicking on full blast. Is there a wire mod where i can make it run full blast nonstop? Btw it is a single 7950

    Just what i thought. The heatsink looks good but imma replace it. If that doesnt work imma get a 3870 for it :) i cant complain i only paid 190 dollars for this thing shipped

    Also when i try to flash the bios in nvflash its giving me a hiearchy mismatch.. even when i try to flash the stock bios. I was gonna flash the latest bios just to make sure Even though i think it is the latest. Im using the usual -4 -5 -6 strap. I have a good bit of experience with flashing gpus and hard modding. This is my first laptop endeavor
