Clevo MXM 1060 swap to Alienware 15 970m ?

[Binks_no_Sake]

Hey guys, i have a little nut to crack... and... i think it's stupid on top too...but, doesnt asks, doesnt get ^^

 

So i'd have a spare 1060 and my dad has Alienware 15 with 970m which could use the upgrade.

The question is, will it fit...

 

I noticed that the clevo has a bit different PCB with what looks like aditional power connecter,

then the 970m.

it's most def. stupid question but, doesnt asks, doesnt gets ^^

And it might be easier to try to swap with a bit of DIY, then to try to sell it and buy another...

Cheers

1060 will give you more TDP but the  worst case is that you will have to downclock the card
