Hold on... i'm not sure also.

Don't have SC2 to play and compare.

@acid, I'm using the 6108tx

Ok, fixed.

Lol i got nothing to do but wake up

So. After battling for a whole week to get the hard drive caddy to fit in properly, I decided to give up. It's just too much trouble.

The problems I faced were as follows:
- The optical drive is fixed to the chassis using this metal bracket that is a specific shape. It looks like it's easy to transfer over to the caddy, but it isn't: the screws used to attach the bracket to the optical drive are too short to work with the caddy. I had to hunt high and low for screws for the whole week.

- Taking off the faceplate/bezel from the optical drive was difficult, frustrating, scary and causes irreparable damage to the latches in the form of scratches. This is just a matter of courage, of course, as Acid managed to do his with no trouble.

- Fixing the faceplate/bezel to the drive was problematic for me, and I couldn't figure out why. It looked like the latches just didn't lock properly for me.

- Slotting the caddy into the bay was difficult,and again I couldn't figure out why since Acid didn't have any trouble.

All in all, it was a lot more trouble that it was worth for me. I think I'll wait for a semi-official kit to come out.

And congrats on v3.

In theory, it shouldn't be. Acid managed to do it with no issues, but he decided not to fix the caddy to the notebook chassis like I did, so he didn't have to worry about the screw length.

Also, there is some variation in the construction of the caddies, so difficulties will vary from person to person. Right before I gave up, I managed to slot it in after I had taken the faceplate off the caddy and reattached it to my optical drive, but I declared "frack this" and gave up. Maybe one day I will make a duplicate of the CD drive faceplate using resin.

Too bad bro.

The temps looks good bro.

Actually my only issue is the faceplate. Took 3 weeks of courage to remove it from the DVD-rom.
Regarding the screws to secure the bay, i found that the bay itself is pretty tight thats why i ignored the mounting bracket.

how much u bought?

The temp look OK, but your speed is insane. Even my 2720QM can't reach that speed...

Acid, how long do you need to change the thermal paste (Including the dissambling and assembling the laptop). Any special tips regarding which part is tricky and need extra care. Watching the video on the first page few times but still feel discourage by the number of screws and parts & connectors we'll need to take out...
