I've an alienware 13 r2 with a cpu i5-4210u settled on the motherboard. Is it possible to change this motherboard with one that has a cpu i7-6500u on it?
 
If you find a motherboard for your model with that CPU, maybe. Could still be issues with connections even if they all match. For example the screen, the LCD screen connections can be very sensitive to the model laptop it's on and a "close" fit motherboard may not work properly.
