    Where to purchase laptop graphic cards?

    My sister has a HP elitebook 8560w with a Nvidia 1000m. It is removable and was thinking of maybe upgrading the gpu because it does have a decent cpu in it. Where can you purchase one and would it be worth it? The CPU is a i7-2760qm and 8gb ram with two empty slots. I know there is a mobile 1050...

    Graphics card has a 8 pin plus a 6 pin power connector

    CPU and GPU Questions?

    For the CPU I am debating on getting a i5-7500 or 7600. It is a $40 difference in Canada. Would it be worth the price difference? For the GPU I am going to get a 1060 because I am building in a Elite 110 case so size is a concern. I am debating on brand and 3gb vs 6gb. The Zotac 3gb is $248...

    New 4 pin fan running loud and constant

    I have a B150I GAMING PRO AC motherboard. I had a stock 120mm fan in my case but thought I would upgrade to Corsair ML140 Pro 97.0 CFM 140mm Fan. The stock fan was a 3pin that max rpm was rated for1200 but was rarely this high. This new one is running constant at 1200 and jumps up to 1500 when I...

    Wait to add in GPU?

    Thanks for the info ImmortanMoe. I switched the ram to 1-8GB stick. It is the same price but like you said opens up room for expansion!
