Solved! Swap CLEVO P775DM-G for CLEVO P775TM1-G

[osama3101995]

So I just recently bought a used ORIGIN PC EON17-X. with CLEVO P775DM-G in it. I wanted to know if its possible to upgrade it with CLEVO P775TM1-G so I can have something like an RTX series in it. I wonder if its possible? Clevoparts does sale CLEVO P775TM1-G. Any expert can help? and what kind of things i would have to consider before following such a plan, what kind of hurdles? Any help is really appreciated.

the new board will need a MXM3.1 GPU (>=GTX 1XXX), I don´t think that the older GTX series GPUs MXM3.0b (<=GTX 9XX) will fit or work with these

the ports won´t fit, if these are the two boards:

(not sure about this model)

the CPU would have to be bought as well, because the DM is using kabylake and the TM is using coffeelake Intel CPUs, which are not compatible to each other and can´t be switched from one board to the other

First of, thanks for the reply.

I am aware that i would probably need a new graphics card (not sure if GTX 980M would work with it) and a new processor too. I will deal with that.

Do you think there might be some kind of work around the ports issue? Do the ports really differ in both models?
