| 1342468 | 2013-05-21 09:38:00 | i know its possible, my model likely has a removable gpu card, where am i to source a replacement? | Mirddes (10) | ||
| 1342469 | 2013-05-21 10:29:00 | A laptop gpu is not normally replaceable. | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1342470 | 2013-05-21 11:01:00 | Chances are you'll have to get a second hand one. Doubt there are many places that will sell them new. Try ebay. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1342471 | 2013-05-21 11:03:00 | Even if it possible, sourcing the gpu for a laptop will be very expensive for what you get. | jonovw (16835) | ||
| 1342472 | 2013-05-21 11:14:00 | so where are the aftermarket options for those who can? ive seen reviews so surely i can buy one easily enough. something with lower heat output is what i need |

| 1342474 | 2013-05-21 12:33:00 | Laptop model number? Might help us tell you what will fit in your machine (if at all) and what will work :) But if it's just a cooler GPU you're after then dust cleaning or modding the origional cooler might be a better monetry spend ;) |
