iMac 27 late 2013 logic board in the late 2012 chasis
I have probably a bad logic board on my iMac late 2012.
Instead of buying a similar logic board, I have the thought of upgrading with a used full spec late 2013 logic board and put it in the late 2012 chassis.
- Is it possible at all?
- Has anyone tried this before?
Thanks in advance.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Just wanna Update that it is possible to swappe the whole imac component in the 2013 model into the 2012 chassis. And I did it without trouble. There is just some slight difference with some of the screws, so you just have to use the screws from the chassis you wanna swappe to Then there Will be No problem at All.

Hi Thien. Did you use an early or late 2013 board in the 2012 chassis? You're saying the screws were different? Will the 2012 chassis screws not work at all?

I don't remember, which screws I was referring to, as it's been a while since then. I do still believe it is possible with 2012 screws, but you might need to be creative when one of the screw does not fit perfectly.
