    Hello!

    I just bought a GT 663 with:
    FULL HD
    I5 460M
    GTX 460M
    HDD 500GB
    SSD 80GB

    for 4800SEK



    But my problem is the gtx 460m is broken.

    First it were full working but now, It wont work anymore.

    I only get bluescreen when i install the drivers and restart, but I i not install the drivers it is working.

    But could someone tell me where I can buy a gtx 460m?

    EDIT: sry for my bad english xD

    You can buy an MXM-B type replacement.

    A new GTX460M or 560M will both work the same.

    If you want to get another you would need a new heatsink (for example I am selling a GTX570M and heatsink on the market).

    The members market here or ebay are good places to start.

    It's listed in the members market for £230 for the pair atm. A 560M or 460M would be cheaper.

    But are you sure the heatsink and the gpu would fit perfectly? And the vbios?

    560M has to be the same, it has 3 above the core and 3 to the side.

    Inductors and VRMs, yes the 460M and 560M are the same layout, the 560M just uses a new revision chip and is clocked higher.
