    Standard answer: no. See the ASUS Info BoothFAQ for why that is so.

    Nuanced answer: on some models it may be possible, but there is a SINGLE success story on an ASUS that I know of. That was on the C90S, a model designed to be GPU-swappable (what they did was use a more recent GPU that was not specifically designed for the C90S).
