So I'm going to be skeptical here. I had an older 9xx MSI laptop that was touted as replaceable and "upgradable" GPU for the next generation at the time.
That ended up as a big ol' whoops, because replacement screwed with thermals and found that you couldn't actually upgrade because of all kinds of reasons and resulted in a class action suit.
Just color me skeptical on these types of things.
Since the cooling system is self contained in the module, you shouldn't have that issue.
The new GPU also has the same 100w tdp as the last one
