That bottom right screw is a captive screw that's meant to stay in. It lifts up the bottom to allow you to open it. they also put a 512GB SSD in it for the same reason most Gaming Laptops still come with 8GB Single Channel RAM. To keep costs down.

Lmao there it is, the answer I've been frantically looking for
For those not familiar with the term, a cross-head screwdriver is the same as a Phillips head screwdriver.
Thank you so, so much. After lots of Google searches, you showed me exactly what I wanted to know Legend
This video is great thank you. I had a hell of a time getting the SSD screw out but after that, very easy. Thanks!
there is a piece of plastic in the fan on your left hand.. you can see it at 3:43..... hopefully it got removed.
First thing I did was replace the Wifi card and add the 2T Samsung 980 PRO SSD. The Wifi card was cheap junk that wouldn't keep connection. During replacement of the wifi card, one of the two antenna connectors came right off the board. I replaced it with an Intel AX210.
hello, what type of screwdriver you use to open up that ssd screw? i cant open it up its really annoying lol
Thanks boss!, all went smooth with no issues. It was my first time and prying part is terrifying af xd

Don't you recomend SSD cooler for that M2? Or is it not needed or does it not fit into this laptop due to the thickness?
you had somekind of black plastic stuck in the fan on the LEFT. Looks like you broke something when prying the bottom cover off
What if you put a Crucial P3 or Crucial P5 plus with heatsink, will the whole thing fit? Im just worried cuz I wanted to buy a NVME SSD (Crucial) but I was worried about the heat so I thought I would buy one that comes with heatsink but then will it fit? Is it small enough for the thin chassis ? Will I be able to put the back cover/case on? Pls help!

Don't buy with the heatsink option from Crucial, it's not compatible.
Just upgraded with a Crucial P3 Plus SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 Internal SSD and its not showing up under This PC?
What if I have the 2024 version
ok i have a question now, does adding a slightly old storage to this tuf (i have the exact one) effect its performance ot these things are totally not related?? and also how do i check if it will be combatible with the device or not?? and one more thing is that im gonna bring this storage from a different laptop so it alr has windows files and stuff i dont need and alot of junk and vache files, so i can just fix it then format it or its more recommended to format it before doing the upgrade?
What about battery? Shouldn`t it be disconnected before installing new disk?
I did same with my low pulse 15 to instant 2to (clone disk because 1 usable+1 MSI troll slot 😅 toward battery and 32 go crucial ram 5200 . Inside the tuf is better finished and better cooling 😮😮😮.
Hello, when you upgrade with Crucial did you use AMD EXPO ? Because when i look the 7940HS on the website AMD EXPO is supported. But i don't know TUF a15 has this.
Will all SSD drives fit the Asus Tuf Gaming A15 laptop? I would like to buy a 1TB one and I don't know which one to choose.
are better the corsair or the crucial for this laptop? There is a big price difference between them. What do you think?
What type of screws does the chassis use? Mine xame loose and the chassis comes apart when i open the laptop. Wareanty doesnt cover and asus say that ive dropped it which is obviously bs. I use it as a desktop. So i want to order some screws and just fix it myself cause not spending 529 bucks for the repair
Would you be so kind and show us where each screw goes back because I can't figure out where to put the longer and shorter ones 😅

LPDDR5(x) is a soldered to motherboard type of RAM. So if laptop uses LPDDR5(x) - it is not upgradeable, if it uses SODIMMs - then you are limited to 5600MT/s sticks.
I cant remove the screw for some reason. It is so tight. Any help would be appreciated. The screw is so stubborn.
I want to upgrade the storage ofmy MSI Pulse GL66, but i want to add thermal pads to the ssd to help with temperature, any Word of advise?
@TheHarsh1310
Жыл бұрын
Thermal pads are only useful if they help the ssd come in contact with a metal surface (like heatpipe) to conduct the heat away. You dont usually see laptops have cooling provided for ssds and they are just passively cooled. So adding thermal pads, which dont conduct heat away from the ssd, will be useless.
Does doing this void warranty?

Hey i love your Content, your Videos are the reason, why i found this Powerfull Laptop Asus Rog Strix G16 with RTX 4060, that's the best Laptop for under 2000, but i'm mot sure why mine has 1TB SSD and more threads and everything, same processor, same RTX, same Laptop but mine is a bit more powerfull then yours, and costed bit more, but is it like dat only in switzerland (from where i from) or does everywhere have 2 different Asus Rog Strix G16 i7-13650 RTX 4060, cuz ye mine has 1TB SSD, 240Hz, 20-Threads, 16-Cores, 1600p and cost more, is dat jus the switzerland version or does they exist everywhere? I mean the screen is 1600p yours have 1440p right? So mine will be a bit more powerfull ig, anyways how you like the laptop overall? Does i can only Play, or is it possible to make videos, livestream (ik from the webcam, i just wanna know if that works) or making word documents, or working and wrinting? Or jus only gaming? n another thing, Could it be that 8GB GDDR6-VRAM won't be enough in around 1-2 years? I will upgrade the RAM to 32GB so dat won't be a Problem, ima jus scared dat when GTA 6 commin' out in around 1-2 years that it won't be possible to play it wit 8GB VRAM, or just other games, that comes out this or next year idk, i mean i could play then gta 6 wit 1080p low settings but still could it be not enough yk, cuz many people say dat 8GB don't be enough in some time, do u agree or not? n another Question, how you think would Red Dead Redemption run, how much FPS with Ultra Settings DLSS Quality or Quality Performance, Frame Generation and 1600p? Will dat run smoothly? Around how much AVG FPS? But ye i really love dat laptop, i have it in 10 Days, it is very powerfull, the powerfullst laptop under 2000, i'm just scared 8GB Vram won't be enough in around 1-2 years what do you say? If i add to 32GB Ram will this Laptop be good enough to bring me 1-2 Years, and will it run GTA 6 (when it comes in 2 years, at leats at low settings with dlss, fg on 1080p?) Or just the games dat commin' out in this n next year yk? n last Question is it possible, dat u could post a video how to change RAM, like this vide, but with the Asus Rog Strix G16? Would be Great! Anyways Thanks for your videos, without your videos, idk if i found dat laptop, have a nice day!:)
