Envy 23 23-c210xt MXM GPU upgrade options

[RyanS1982]

Hello,

I have had this all-in-one for a few years now, I purchased it used (was sold to me for $10 as a "monitor only"). Noticed a while ago the fan was constantly speeding up but never seemed to really overheat, that being said.. it sat dormant for a few months and today I took it out and took the back off to clean the fan and the CPU heatsink, as well as re-apply thermal paste and upgrade ram to 16gb (can't confirm if it will do 32, but no real need too either) and install a 1tb ssd.. that's when I noticed it had an mxm card slot.. HP site said can run any MXM GPU.

I have two.. a GTX 560m and a GTX 765m... Both came out of Alienware laptops I have upgraded, but both are still good cards.. of course they both respectively had their own heat sinks and fans as well, so I suspect they will need the same in the AIO.. so I doubt they will be plug and play for this one.. does anyone have any recommendations I could use? I've already got the i7-3770s on order which is a verified upgrade option as well. 

I know it's an older one, and I also know parts and people with good knowledge are out there too. 

Thanks in advance!
