Hey Guys,
I just wanted to ask if there is a chance I can swap the logicboard in my iMac 2014 A1419 EMC 2806 with a newer one and with that the display that fits the new logicboard.
What would be newest logicboard and display I could install? Which logicboard has upgradable RAM?
Thank you all very much in advance!

Is this a good question?
Swapping the logic board in an iMac can be a complex task, and it's important to note that the compatibility of different logic boards and displays can be limited by factors such as form factor, connectors, and firmware compatibility. While it may be possible to upgrade certain components, it is generally not recommended or supported by Apple.
The iMac 2014 A1419 EMC 2806 model is part of the iMac "Core i5" 3.5 27-Inch (Retina 5K, Late 2014) series. It features a soldered GPU and uses a custom form factor logic board. As a result, it is not straightforward to swap the logic board with a newer one from a different iMac model.
Additionally, the display panel in an iMac is typically integrated with the logic board, making it difficult to swap the display separately. It's not designed as a modular component.
Regarding upgradable RAM, the iMac 2014 A1419 EMC 2806 model supports up to 32GB of RAM, but the RAM is not user-upgradable. The RAM modules are soldered onto the logic board, so they cannot be easily replaced or upgraded.
If you're interested in upgrading your iMac, I would recommend considering other options such as adding external storage, upgrading to a solid-state drive (SSD) if you haven't already, or connecting an external monitor if you need a larger or higher-resolution display.

Almost everything in this comment is incorrect. It looks like it's written by chatGPT.
- All logic boards are "custom", this does not impact whether or not they can be swapped
- iMac screens are not "integrated" with their logic board (the way an iPhone might be, through parts pairing)
- The RAM is not soldered to the board.
