*PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING ABOUT ANYTHING* Due to the sheer popularity of this video I am going to make a full length version thoroughly going over how to swap the GPU. If you need help in the meantime please read the following. To check if your laptops gpu can be swapped simply search your laptops name and “MXM” after. If you find people saying it’s “soldered to the motherboard” you cannot swap the gpu. *Info About The Laptop In It’s Current State:* I recently got the 2 heatpipe cooler for the GPU and it was definitely needed since the 980M thermal throttles under significant load with the 1 heatpipe cooler. Under lighter loads
Yes it is somewhat possible, (depends on the situation) however the equipment and skills needed to reball a new processor to a board outweighs the cost of a new laptop / PC. Also, most of the time a new gpu chip isn’t compatible with the board. (Specific pin types etc)
I wish laptops were upgradable like they were from back in the day when you could actually upgrade the CPU over even GPU in this case. Now of days you'd be lucky to have even an option to upgrade your memory.
Good short Isaac, I suggest having a bigger heatsink to accommodate the temperature of that GTX 980m, there are a few in Ebay but if all is well, no need. Happy gaming and may that gpu serve you well.
I did some further testing with MSI kombustor to see how bad the 1 heatpipe cooler is and it started thermal throttling under load so I got the dual heatpipe cooler with the larger cooling block and the fan is now able to keep the temps under 80C about 78C on average at 100% load
Last december i upgraded my MSI GT 70 laptop's GPU from Nvidia 970M 3GB to Nvidia 1060 6GB. I bought it from AliExpress on the black friday promotion for 135 euros, then sold my old nvidia 970m for 65 euros. The olny downside is that i have to mod the drivers, otherwise the card is not recognised in windows.
Before Graphics Cards and Processors were permanently attached to the motherboard. In 2000 until 2018 and today, Laptop Motherboards are modular to replace the CPU or GPU, and other things to complement or power them such as batteries, cmos batteries, hard drives, and Ram too. But after 2018, most laptop brands no longer use modular motherboards, because it is considered not very efficient or takes up space. And also non-modular laptops (without replacing the cpu and gpu and removable batteries) are considered more compatible and simple while the price of production costs is quite cheap.
DAMN THIS IS TOO COOL. There's any reason besides money so they don't do this with today's laptops??? ...imagine having a 2080 laptop that you can upgrade to 3080, damn
This is cool! I don't know why modern laptop gaming can't swap any GPU anymore. I wish if they made like this rather buying new laptop gaming. It would be cool.
Planned obsolescence that’s why computer parts only get marginally better so you keep buying more. I’m sticking with my 3080 until like the 8000 series. Then I might move up.
@@bestsupergaming His laptop was probably made when GTX 580M was out. I think it is a good question to clear out because the new GPU CARD can cost as much as £90.
I know there are external graphics cards could be connected to laptops (as using cable m.2 ngff -hdmi) using an external dock/adaptor.. i ask if there are External docks/adaptors for mobile graphics card as you used in video?
@@IsaacMega Ikr bruh 🤣 congrats for new headphones lol, nice video btw i was just looking if i can upgrade my ROG Laptop’s graphics card sadly i cant so i’ll just build a PC smh 🤦
Is this the fastest GPU you can put inside this thing or could I like put something faster? Also, I was reading an article and you can apparently get an upgraded cooler because the high-end models had a beefier cooler. It has two heat pipes instead of one.
I explained that in the pinned comment, I got the better cooler. You could probably get a 1000 series working but idk about the thermals plus it’ll need external power.
eGPUs are cool but if you have the room, it’s better to just get a pc at that price point. They make tons of different adapters for eGPUs so they work with a lot of laptops. However most laptop cpus are quite slow to handle a desktop gpu. So that brings me back to my first point. Get a pc. The gpu will thank you.
Nothing is wrong with the onboard system, it’s gaming that’s the problem. Games constantly get more complicated and demanding for computers to play. Hence why we upgrade them to meet our needs. Same goes for software and browsers but on a smaller scale
New to computers? There's multiple reasons why a laptop needs a dedicated GPU as opposed to an integrated one. The choice of two GPUs, demanding tasks such as CAD or gaming, hardware-accelerated physics calculations, etc.
Can a graphic card and (i3 processor i. E to be replaced) can be put in an Aio asus pc pls help bro mr with this doubt coz im not getting any answer for it on the internet and i think u can only help me up😢
Depends if it has a socket and isn’t soldered to the board. If it has a swapable cpu, gpu and ram. U can do it. All you have to do is take it apart to find out. Look for “tear down” or disassembly tutorials
i try p3000m and mod driver and with gpu-z i read memory size 0 mb and bus width unknown also bandwidth unknown what is the problem please can you tell me
You need to get a kit called an eGPU enclosure adapter and it comes with a power supply and a place to put a desktop GPU. However these kits cost upwards of $400 and it’s considered not worth it. It’s better just to get a used office computer and throw a gpu in it for that price point.
Yo bro my lap is hp probook 450 g2 i7 5500u I don't know if my lap can upgrade like yours i check everywhere but i still cant find if i can upgrade or not pllz teel me
It definitely did, it works great. The gpu is not in the supported list but the hardware can definitely keep up. PCI 3.0 is backwards to 2.0 so that’s kind of why it works. If it was 4.0 it definitely wouldn’t
@@IsaacMega You see, sometimes, the reason the Bios is locked is because of potential overheating. The laptop's heatpipes won't cope. But if it worked, just monitor the temperature and apply a throttling software if problems arise. I had to do this OS speed throttling after a CPU upgrade once. Couldn't go over 2.1 GHz. Later, it got worse, so maybe after 7 years, the fan(s) need changing. My "gaming" laptop had only 1 fan for CPU plus GPU. What a ridiculous design decision surely to cut cost.
Please read the pinned comment of you have not already. I did the Google search for you and an MXM gpu swap is not possible on your specific laptop because it does not have an MXM slot
Thats crazy that your laptop has a 16x PCIE , the fact that you cna change your graphics card or even have a external one is just crazy. Sad that laptop companies are just greedy bastards who want us to spend more on a brand new laptop
@@IsaacMega that still gives an pcie signal and is strong enough to handle the full power of the gpu not like mPCIE that can use a limited power of that gpu. Mxm to pcie adapters do exist.
No, it used to have a 1GB gpu but I upgraded it to a 4GB 980M there is a 8GB 980M but it was more expensive at the time. The max gpu I would install is a 8GB 980M cause of thermal issues.
How does this work? Is it specific to a certain laptop?? Because I have opened my laptop a few times and have never seen something like this I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure.
i have alienware 17 i7/4700qm /16 g ram / broken (gtx 880 m) i find qoadro m3000m on aliexpress for 70 euro can it run on my laptop btw my budget low then 100 euro please answer
I thought about setting up a second fan and separate heat sink for the gpu so I could have better thermal headroom. That would give me the ability to solder on more heat pipes. Effectively making it possible to run a 1080 in that laptop. Edit: however, I would lose the optical (CD) drive.
I cannot stress this enough. *READ THE PINNED COMMENT* According to Lenovo's official forums it says: "the GPU on the G500 is soldered on the motherboard and there's no port (MXM slot) for an upgrade." So no, you cannot upgrade the GPU, just do a simple google search before commenting please.
For the people wondering why I look like a noob taking four hours (actually about 3 hours) installing GPU drivers here’s why: The gpu I purchased (knowing well what I was getting into) is an MSI 980M 4GB. The 4GB model is not included in the INF files for the 980 on nvidias website. (Code 1617, the code 13D7 is for the normal 980M) So why didn’t I just get the drivers from HP? Well the gpu that I installed is not on the support list on HP’s website so I knew I was going to have to find a way to brute force the drivers to install. I went in circles with various driver versions for about 2 hours (my internet is slow) before I found a laptop modding site that walked me through how to code and decode the INF files to tell the driver it was safe to install. And there you have it, if you even read all the way through this lol. Edit 2: There is an easier way to install the drivers using device manager.
That’s with cheaper laptops, Google is not always right. Older workstation laptops can have the CPU, RAM, GPU, and storage drives swapped out. Some even have three 2.5” drive bays.
If your laptop is older than 2022 don’t even think about it. Plus I don’t think they even make MXM 4090s, they are usually soldered to the motherboard of laptops. I’d save your money for an entire pc instead of a 4090. U can get a 13th Gen i5 and RTX 3070 build for $1K
No actually I can’t put anything better in it cause a better gpu would overheat. Plus a better gpu needs more power which generates the heat. It is possible to fabricate your own cooler for a more powerful gpu but you would need an external power header which my laptop does not have.
@IsaacMega no, i currently found my dy dads old office computer, it has an i7 3rd gen and 12 gigs of ram, but has no gpu, so i was deciding to put my old gaming laptops gpu, (which is broken) on it , a geforce 940mx

It isn’t possible to solder a new GPU onto the motherboard? I’m not even considering a replacement, just curious
Yes it is somewhat possible, (depends on the situation) however the equipment and skills needed to reball a new processor to a board outweighs the cost of a new laptop / PC. Also, most of the time a new gpu chip isn’t compatible with the board. (Specific pin types etc)
You could pay someone to do it but the labor costs alone could be more than a new gpu itself.
Could you give more details about how to get the drivers workings, can't find the long version video you mentioned
I haven’t made said video yet. I’ve been very busy with college and I can’t make videos as frequently as I used to.
A 980 is still good enough for 1080p gaming so its a relevant upgrade.
Yeah 100%, I had a AMD FirePro m4000 with 1GB of vram 💀so it’s a very large upgrade.
Nah it's trash, only "relevant" cards are 4070 ti's and higher, anything lower than that and you are just poor and should go get more money.

Yep, that’s step 2, temps aren’t bad but they could be better
I did some further testing with MSI kombustor to see how bad the 1 heatpipe cooler is and it started thermal throttling under load so I got the dual heatpipe cooler with the larger cooling block and the fan is now able to keep the temps under 80C about 78C on average at 100% load

The gpu I purchased (knowing well what I was getting into) is an MSI 980M 4GB. The 4GB model is not included in the INF files for the 980 on nvidias website. (Code 1617, the code 13D7 is for the normal 980M) So why didn’t I just get the drivers from HP? Well the gpu that I installed is not on the support list on HP’s website so I knew I was going to have to find a way to brute force the drivers to install. I went in circles with various driver versions for about 2 hours (my internet is slow) before I found a laptop modding site that walked me through how to code and decode the INF files to tell the driver it was safe to install.
And there you have it, if you even read all the way through this lol.
Edit 2:
There is an easier way to install the drivers using device manager.
It's a shame that Windows just doesn't come with its own drivers for everything.
The drivers had to be force installed cause the gpu wasn’t on the laptops support list, even though it actually does work.
i have alienware 17 i7/4700qm /16 g ram / broken (gtx 880 m) i find qoadro m1000m can it run in my laptop plz awnser me i find it with good price
It will work but is a significant downgrade from the 880M
@@IsaacMega i didnt find another one like this price
That’s okay! As long as the GPU is MXM and has the same pin layout it should work great. I check already and it looks to be that way.
Be sure to get thermal pads for the VRAM and voltage regulator modules (VRMs)
@@IsaacMega yea sure I will try it and tell you the results thx
Why did it say 4090 in nvida
Because yes
hey jerry how do i get rid of sticky keys
Spam shift 5 times and select the thing in the window that pops up to disable the hotkey
thank u but what about sticky keyboard keys@@IsaacMega
Link to gpu
eBay, MXM 2.0 GPU
How to buy one laptop gpu pls tell me
eBay, and you have to make sure your laptop supports it cause not all laptops have a slot for it.
Thanks alot man!@@IsaacMega
@@IsaacMega How to know that the laptop has upgradable gpu slot.
Read the pinned comment
What model bro?
It’s the HP Elitebook 8770w
Google says "Processor and gpu upgrade in laptops is impossible" and tf is this?
That’s with cheaper laptops, Google is not always right. Older workstation laptops can have the CPU, RAM, GPU, and storage drives swapped out. Some even have three 2.5” drive bays.
I’m working on a video on how to identify which components can be swapped out
Can someone say where can i buy 4090 laptop gpu?
If your laptop is older than 2022 don’t even think about it. Plus I don’t think they even make MXM 4090s, they are usually soldered to the motherboard of laptops. I’d save your money for an entire pc instead of a 4090. U can get a 13th Gen i5 and RTX 3070 build for $1K
Thank you 🙏
damn bruh you know yiu can get better than that right?
No actually I can’t put anything better in it cause a better gpu would overheat. Plus a better gpu needs more power which generates the heat. It is possible to fabricate your own cooler for a more powerful gpu but you would need an external power header which my laptop does not have.
I wanted to put a 1080 in it but since it has a higher power consumption I can’t. Plus I’d run into bottlenecking which would make it less worth it.
@@IsaacMega damn mb i just checked what 3000 series mxm gpus cost and there like $800 on ali 💀
U good, at least you know now.
What was the OLD gpu?
AMD FirePro M4000 1GB
Can I change it with Dell Inspiron 3501 with i3 11th gen laptop?
If the laptop has an MXM slot then yes. A lot of newer laptops dropped this standard and have the GPU soldered to the motherboard.
I’m pretty sure that laptop can’t even have a dedicated GPU
Nope lol
Can u use a laptop gpu in a desktop?
No, I wouldn’t even if you could. The performance of a desktop gpu is a lot greater than laptop ones
@IsaacMega no, i currently found my dy dads old office computer, it has an i7 3rd gen and 12 gigs of ram, but has no gpu, so i was deciding to put my old gaming laptops gpu, (which is broken) on it , a geforce 940mx
I would sell the laptop gpu and then get a better desktop one. I wouldn’t bother trying to adapt it.
Not trying to be mean, I’m just trying to save you a headache
@IsaacMega i see bro, thx for the tip, ill try selling my old gaming laptop, and see if im able to make any money off it to buy a desktop gpu
