Can I replace my existing K53SV motherboard with K53SM motherboard?

Hello,

I bought Asus X53SC-SX224D model on 2011 which has following specs:

- Motherboard: X53SC - K53SV REV 3.0 (PCB MADE IN CHINA)

- RAM: 2x2GB DDR3 1333

- Graphics: GT520M 1GB VRAM

- Battery: 4400mAh 4-Cell

- Processor: 2.3GHz i5 2nd Gen Processor

- DVD Writer

Now, this motherboard was damaged and I'm planning to fix it or replace it.

Can I get a new K53SM motherboard instead of K53SV? Will K53SM motherboard supports all my existing external hardware components?

Are the motherboards part number specific?

Can we use 1600mHz DDR3 RAM?

Thank you

Hi!

You can replace your motherboard with the one you want to replace it with, they should be compatible.

As for your second question, about the RAM, you can use DDR3(/L) 1600mHz DIMMs, but they will switch automatically to 1333mHz regardless because 2nd gen Intel Core i-series chips don't support faster speeds.
