Sinn3246 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've started wondering if it would be possible to replace the R3 MB to the R4 ver. in my R3. If they are exactly the same in form and wouldn't require any external modification (misaligned usb ports ect). I'm aware that if I did this, I would need to replace the CPU. Is there anything else that would need replacement or would everything I currently have in my R3 (aside from the CPU) be compatible with the R4 MB. One last idea, would this also mean that I would regain 3D and would my Dell 680m be natively compatible?I'll continue searching the web but have currently only found 2 resources that doesn't tell me much.Anything else I may have not thought off, please feel free to inform me.Current SystemWin 8.1M17X R3Dell 680m8GB1TB HDD (2 x 500 Raid 0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suade8880 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Physically, the R4 MB will fit perfectly in a R3 chassis. You will only need to replace the MMC board and the keyboard to the R4 version. No need to replace your CPU as it is forward compatible to the R4 MB. The 680m card is 3D capable only if you have a 3d screen and cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
