Hello there, Is it possible to change the graphics card in my 24" iMac A1225 (NVIDIA GT130 512MB) to an “normal” NVIDIA GT130M Card? Kind Regards, Chris
Doing a hot air workstation reflow of the GPU on this model has been about 75% successful for me. UPDATE Here’s a video on doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoxR_TVE… iMac Intel 24" EMC 2267 Graphics Card Replacement
If you mean a desktop PCI card that fits into one of the 4 to 6 slots it has - No. The card Apple uses is called a Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM) You will need a GPU card that was designed for your system. In addition it also needs the custom Apple firmware. So your choices are a bit limited. Can you give us a bit more here on why you want to change out the GPU. For reference here is a listing of possible GPU’s your system can support: ATI 4850 Graphics Card w/512MB- Apple P/N 661-5135NVIDIA GeForce GT120 w/256MB- Apple P/N 661-4991NVIDIA GeForce GT130 w/512MB - Apple P/N 661-4990
