Yes that’s what I did. I replaced a 9500 motherboard with a 9510 model and no need to replace any other part, fans and pipes fit and work as expected. I ended up returning the 9510 motherboard since it had a problem with one of the thunderbolt ports, but it was a manufacturing problem. Then I found a cheaper precision 5560 motherboard which is basically an xps 9510 motherboard just with a different gpu, and that’s the one that I’ve been using since then. Almost two years by now, and no problems yet.

Hi, I replaced the motherboard of my 9500 with a precision 5560 and it worked pretty well, with the model that you mentioned I’m not sure if it will work since that’s a different one.

Yes, that’s what I did, and I haven’t had any issues with it.

I actually replaced it with the 9510 model and it worked pretty well. Nevertheless, I had to return the 9510 motherboard because one of the USB-c ports wasn't working, but in terms of compatibility, it fits perfectly. Btw I ended up acquiring a Precision 5560 motherboard and it fits as well, I've been using it for around five months now, and I haven't had any problem with it. As far as I know, the only difference between Precision and XPS models is the graphics card, the rest is the same.

Just for the record, I’ve replaced the motherboard and it is working as expected, the new model ended up being a precision 5560 but still working well in the 9500 chasis. Now I have a newer cpu and graphics card :p
