Yes you can, however you'll need to change the fan to M10 "long" fan as well.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that's the top of the line board for "p" systems, and was used in T41p, T42p and R50p.

Be advised that your machine will run significantly hotter thatn what you're used to, even with the long fan.

Good luck.
