    Hi guys,

    i want to Upgrade my MS-16F2 with a new graphiccard. i know, the only one "good" compatible Nvidia Card is the GTX770M. But i want a Radeon HD8970M... I have 2 Heatpipes here... first one from the old Fermi Card and the 2nd Heatpipe is for a Kepler Card... i don´t want to buy a new Radeon Heatpipe...

    i´ve readed something about the "dremelmethod" for the Heatpipe, but i can´t find a solution...

    It would be ideal if the old Fermi heat pipe can be modified, because of that I've had enough lying around (2 or 3 ..: D)

    can anybody help me ?

    You are not only changing the GPU, but you are also changing the heatsink which is required due to placement on components on the PCB.
