Dell M6800 GPU upgrades

[XxMeantTagxX]

Hi all, i recently got a Dell m6800 workstation laptop and i've been wanting to replace the K3100m GPU in it with something more beefy (perhaps a 980m), does anyone have much knowledge with modding/upgrading these laptops? this laptop will be a project of mine to fully refurbish and upgrade it to its limit.

i think it can be done but you will need the specific heat-sink for that daughterboard GPU and maybe a bigger power brick.

Finding that and another GPU board on eBay wont be cheap though.

i found some 980m gpus on ebay and i can get at a very good price, i also just bought a new shell for it to make it brand new, i also have a 240w power adapter which will be plentiful for what i want to do to it. apparently i can use the stock heatsink but need to cut away a small piece of it to not obstruct the R22 chips on it
