09 motherboard broken, can I replace to quad core 2011 motherboard?
I have to replace the motherboard on this after breaking the LCD display attachment. It's going to cost about the same to replace with the same motherboard w/o CPU vs buying a replacement motherboard with an i5 CPU for a 2011 27 iMac.
Since they look like they are the same form factor, can I just buy a motherboard for a 2011 27" iMac and stick it in my 2009 iMac 27" iMac? Are the other components compatible? Will there be issues with the GPUs?
thanks.
Is this a good question?
