Will a 2012 Mac Mini logic board fit in a 2010 model?

I am thinking about building/cannibalizing a Mac Mini(s) in order to make one functional Mac Mini with the 2.6Ghz i7 Quad Core Logic board AND optical drive in a 2010 model shell. I am aware of the inherent difficulties in such an endeavor. I've seen various posts stating they've done a 2010 - 2011/2012 model swap, but my main question is whether the 2.6 quad i7 will fit in a 2010 shell along with an optical drive. I've only seen a few low quality pictures of the logic board itself, and it appears to have large heat sinks that take up quite a bit of space compared to other boards. Price being barred of course (this is as much a project for me, as it is for the final product).

Kind of similar to Can a 2011 Mac Mini fit in a 2010 case? but with some other minor alterations, as you have already noted.

The heatsinks themselves should not be in the way of the optical drive tray, but a capacitor seems to be required to be moved, which means soldering.

For reference here’s some better logic board images

This is the 2010

And this one is the 2012

You do need to use the 2012 heatsink and you might have mounting issues as the mount points do look a little off. The RAM SO-DIIMS are also different.
