Compatibility, service & archival notes
The name GTX 860M alone is ambiguous because both GK104 and GM107 designs were marketed; this record is explicitly GM107.
Record GPU PCI ID and laptop model; verify heatsink and vBIOS compatibility before module replacement. Preserve OEM driver and display mux/Optimus configuration details.
- Check signaling, slot keying, lane width, power pinout, board/module dimensions, case clearance, airflow and PSU requirements for the exact specimen.
- Use drivers supporting its device ID and target OS. Preserve original installer and firmware copies, and record their versions before changes.
- Do not energize boards with corrosion, cracks, damaged connectors, obstructed cooling or suspected shorts; document condition before bench testing.
