acer aspire motherboard swap.

[Pawel1976]

Hi I have Acer Aspire M3970 and the Motherboard Acer Aspire M3970 (CPU 1)
It has given up on me after wonderful 3 years. I'm pretty green with computers. But to find exactly the same one in Australia is bloody impossible. Was just wondering what other brands I can put in that machine with out changing processor and other stuff.
I can't seem to find much on the Web. Please help....



Acer Aspire AM3970 Desktop PC (Intel Core i5-2400 Processor, 12 GB RAM, 2 TB HDD, Radeon HD 7770 card 650 watt power supply.

Thanks.

You should be able to replace your motherboard with one that has thew corresponding socket type, 1150/1155.

This is a good looking board I found on newegg. You can buy this board, or use it as a template while looking at others.
