    Hello everyone,

    my MSI Whitebook came with a 670mx and a pretty crappy 768p-Display.

    For the near future I'm planning on upgrading the GPU with a 780m.
    Now I'm not 100% certain that this card would work in my Laptop which is a Ivy BridgeBased MSI Whitebook. I think it should be the MS-16F3 Barebone but to be honest I'm not 100% certain.
    I know that they changed the cooling solution/heatpipe-layout when they released the 4th gen Intel-Laptops but I think that 780m and 670mx have the same PCB-Layout, so the cooling should work but my temps could be slightly higher. Am I right at this point?
    What else will I need to get the card working properly (which vBios, modded driver inf, etc.?)

    For the future I'm also thinking about changing the display of my Laptop if that won't be too expensive. The viewing angles and pretty much everything else of the current display are kind of a nightmare compared to other displays I've seen lately.
    Can anyone of you recommend a compatiple 1080p-Display? I would prefere a non-glare IPS-Panel that is good for gaming.

    Thank you very much for your help in advance!
