Make sure you have the following tools.
• ESD strap and mat
• Magnetized Philips PH0 screwdriver
• Thermal paste – we recommend IC Diamond 7 Thermal Paste
1. Power off and remove the battery. Taking ESD precautions, disassemble your notebook to uncover the VGA card. On most models, (not all) card access is from the bottom of the notebook.
2. Remove the VGA heatsink and VGA card. Handle the card by the edges, avoiding the contacts. Note where the heatsink comes into contact with the GPU and VRAM.
3. MXM 3.0b cards are rectangular in shape, measuring 82x105mm (3.2”x 4.1”)
4. Assess the GPU thermal paste. If dried, proceed to step 5. If it is still gooey, skip to step 6.
5. Remove all old paste residues. Reapply paste on the GPU with a pea sized amount.
6. Make sure your thermal pads are in their original positioning.
7. Reattach the heatsink and close up the laptop and turn it on. Run under load for 30 minutes to ensure proper operation.
Install your new card.
NOTE: We strongly advise you update the BIOS and EC of your notebook to the latest revision available from your manufacturer prior to installation.
