I owned ASUS laptop......

#1
I bought this Asus K53SM-SX010D laptop on 2012. Its amazing for gaming and blaze for performance. But later on formatting my laptop with Linux mint, suddenly motherboard got dead :( ..I gave in ASUS service centre, they told me that motherboard got short circuited because of my charger adapter cable. I booked my laptop for motherboard replacement, they replaced all parts in my laptop :confused: .. I returned it once again :mad: .. After that they returned it four months later with Asustek-K53SC motherboard with 1gb 520mx nvidea gfx :eek: .. Before replacement, it has 2GB gt630 ..:fatigue: ..

Please tell me how to replace 520mx 1gb with gt630 2gb....Is it possible to replace gfx chipset ??

Hi

I never tried it on any of my previous OS. Still, here some thoughts and links which will be some kind of help for you. Many questions you can Google and you will find any kind of answers you are looking for. Here we go:

Did you compare the requirements needed for either of them?

- GT 630 2GB: http://www3.pny.com/File Library/Su...r/Graphics Cards/GT 600 Series/GT-630-2GB.pdf

- GeForce GT 520MX: http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?gid=565&graphics=GeForce+GT+520MX

About your second question>

It's a giant question of "it depends". Laptop GPU's are a standard mini-PCI express connector MXM PCIe connector. There are four or five different connector types so you have to match up the ones you have. Also laptops have a limited power supply and thermal dissipation capacity. Just inserting a stronger GPU may result in the laptop being unstable either too much heat or not enough power. For these reasons you should only do this if you know exactly what your doing.

This is the website to go to about buying MXM GPU's and how to install / upgrade them.
