Motherboard compatibilty for an upgrade.

[Kev181]

Hi guys,

I am having issues with my current motherboard and am looking to upgrade if possible. I have sourced my current motherboard replacement but have found another which comes from the HP Pavillion 15-aw053nr. Upon inspection of pics, the mobo's seem identical in form with 1 having a few extra chips, capacitors and what looks like a seperate GPU.

My current motherboard model no is: DAG55AMB6E0 with a dual core A9-9410 Processor and Radeon R5 integrated graphics.

The other is: DAG54AMB6D0 with a quad core A12-9700P with Radeon R7 graphics.

Any advice or considerations I should make if it is compatible would be appreciated. 1st question is do I need a different cooling solution for the upgrade or is the GPU passively cooled?

You should be able to use system boards from the list on page 48 of the following manual

All machines use same fan part # 856359-001

Hi Banhien,

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately the link comes back "page not found". I will see if I can find it.

Oh no ! I know why. It is an old library, it uses http: (not https:) that why you could not find it. I don't know why HP has not moved it to new library. I extracted few pages for you on attached file
