    Hi guys, I think I'm set on my next gaming laptop as the P34W v3 or P35W v3 and I have a few questions for current owners.

    1. Is there any room on the heatsink plate to add a few additional copper heatsinks?
    2. Since this is a thin form factor, will the heatsinks fit or basically push through the bottom cover?
    3. Has anyone done any repasting and was it relatively easy to access the CPU/GPU?

    Thanks in advance.

    There is no effective room for that. The whole laptop is stuffed and the cooling performance is pretty good after repasting. I had a huge difference in temps and now my GPU doesnt surpass the 85C with moderate fan noise. The internals are easy to reach.

    The only thing you can do to get better temps than stock is to repaste, undervolt, and *TRY* a good cooling pad. You're still going to get epic performance out of a 14" laptop regardless. As rinneh has stated, the case is already stuffed.
