Posted March 15, 2018 So, I've been doing my research on the G750Jz that has an 880m in it. Some people told me that the gpu is soldered and won't be able to be swapped out alone. Is there any way to buy a Rev2.0 motherboard with the 880m? Maybe swap out the motherboard with one that has an 880m and an upgraded cpu? What are some problems other than having to get the software for the new cpu/gpu? Fitting issues? Here are some links. I currently own a Asus ROG g750jm.

I would really like to upgrade the laptop without having to shell out another $1k+. Thanks! ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 15, 2018 you cant swap out any soldered components on your boards so if you want to mix and match chips sorry thats not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 15, 2018 The GPU in that laptop is most likely soldered. Personally, I would never recommend opening up a laptop unless you're fully okay with the possibility that you'll break it. I don't know if all the connectors will be the same, so I personally wouldn't recommend it.

I don't think that's what he's saying. He wants to find a motherboard with a more powerful CPU already soldered on, and the same GPU.

Posted March 15, 2018 Author So, to clear up any confusions, I understand that I can't mix and match chips. Since the other g750 that use gtx 870m's or 880m's must have similar boards, it should be compatible. If I can, I'll try to put a motherboard with an upgraded cpu and gpu into my current G750. One that is compatible.Almost like a complete internal swap. They sell parts like such on ebay and other websites. I just wanted to see if anyone's done the swap. Thanks! (oh and I've opened my laptop plenty of times to clean the fans and change my back lit keyboard color.)

Posted March 15, 2018 Author *update* I've found a video showing that the 860m is able to be removed from the mobo. I know that when I jam the 880m on my current board, it won't read. I've decided to get a Revised motherboard with an upgraded cpu and put the 880m in. Here is the link. Skip to about 7:02 in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLWFHAVVO_Y ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found a G750JZ board that can fit in my current G750Jm. I will buy the 880m gpu and connect it to the mobo. Originally, the g750jz comes with a 880m.
