Just to confirm, I'm running a P775DM3-G and currently have the 1.05.01 stock BIOS, does the BAKED version support the Kaby Lake CPUs (I'm about to upgrade)?

Thanks for the replies. Regarding these things, can I not just use the non-backlit keyboard? Do you mean the P170EM board comes with a different keyboard connector to the one on the HM? I suppose the P151EM doesn't have a backlit keyboard. Looking at the photos of the P170EM, the port configuration is actually quite a bit different. The eSATA is on the left side instead of the back (replaced with a display port) and the mini firewire has been moved to the back of the left side instead. Seems like more of a modification than I'm willing to make, perhaps it'd be better to pick up a used barebones P170EM... Thanks for the replies, anyway.

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can help me. One of my friends wants to part out his laptop and he offered to sell me a P170EM motherboard for a really good price. I'm currently using a P170HM and wondered if I could fit it in. Is this possible? Are there any differences in port layout or the internals of the P170EM that would prevent this? I'm using the following hardware: Core i7 2960XM GTX 580M (which I'd like to upgrade to a 680M if I get the motherboard) 2x 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 1x SSD 1x HDD (No RAID etc.) 1x BD combo drive Intel 6230 wireless Would any of the above cause issues? I know that the chipset is upgraded to HM77 vs. HM67 in the HM model so I'll reinstall Windows etc. but could there be any other issues? Thanks in advance.

I'd have to agree with what the others have said so far. I'm in a very similar situation and would love to get a 780M or 8970M to replace my 680M but the difference doesn't seem worth it right now. I'd wait and see what we get from the 880M soon.

Provided it works as said, I'd say definitely go for it at that price.
