This video is a lot more detailed than the others I’ve watched and you can see every little detail of the inside of the laptop and what you’re doing. Replacing my ram tomorrow. Thanks for the video.
Why so? 2021 or 2022 version has 16Gigs which means games runs good at ultra settings it's required to atleast have 8gigs and good specs which ASUS TUF A15 has RTX 3050 And AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 well.. In my country there's no the 7th version only 5th
Thank you so much bro. I received my new ASUS TUF 15.6" Laptop today. But it came without the connecting cable. I think I need to buy it separately. Your video is absolutely a useful one. Since the laptop came today has one more NVME SSD empty slot, I can connect one more NVME SSD inside and also connect the 2.5 inch SATA SSD too to increase storage. Any way, thank you so much. May God bless you.
Thanks for the video. I thought the cable was too short to put my old mac HDD inside (was from my ps4) turns out I was doing upside down as it was too thick... will have to order a thinner one. Cheers
Thank you so much for this excellent guide. I've just completed my installation following your steps and being able to see clearly which way up the cable goes in stopped me making a bit of an error! You made everything so easy. Thanks again.
Amaizing video, I like how detailed it is. Absolutely amaizing. Sadly i bought A15 FA506II and this model doesnt have second ssd slot and no connecting cable is include. So i bought one from China and I hope that it will be okey.
I bought a Samsung 870 EVO ssd for my TUF FX505DT and while i was able to install it by aligning the screws, the drive itself was too small, and there's a space between the bracket and ssd. I managed to set it up and seems to work. Do you think that there should be any issues?
Hola! En la página dice que la capacidad máxima es de 1 tera en el SSD. El equipo viene con uno de 500gm, en el otro puerto SSD M.2 PCEI, puedo montarle otro de 500gb y quedarían las 1000gb. La pregunta mía es, En ese puerto del HDD, puedo montar un SSD Tipo sata de 1 tera? O tiene que ser HDD?
Hey Hubwood, I wondered if the drivers on the Iris Xe have improved to the point of surpassing the MX350. Really appreciate your videos as the tackle many reviews and points that you can't find elsewhere. Much love.

This is so good, when I looked the the price of the same laptop but with 1 TB ssd and 16 brb ram it was like 30 thousand ₹ more. Which is a lot! I can do it with like 3k
Thanks bro, but I had question. On 3:58 aside of the screw there's a connector cable. Is that okay if SSD stick pressing the cable? Because ssd usually getting hot while in use. Will the cable getting burnt or something?
Sorry I have no clear answer to that to be honest. I would assume it's fine as they only get hot when you copy large files for a longer time. But nor guarantees 😕
Seems like i have an older version as i don't have an extra slot for another nvme . I thought i have and now it seems like i will just have to upgrade the old one

I have a ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506IC and I'm not sure if my laptop has two NVME SSD slots or not. I've heard that it does but then I've heard that it only has one NVME SSD slot and then a normal hard drive bay instead. Can someone tell me which one is correct for my specific model?
What about upgrading the battery to a 90whr by removing the SATA cage? I heard it's possible? I really need help with this because the official ASUS service center in my country will NOT issue a higher capacity battery for my model. PLEASE HELP 🙏
Yes it's possible, i have a friend with this laptop and upgraded the battery to the 90whr one, he only need to put some adhesive so the battery won't wobble.
is it okay to just add the stock ram with another ram from another brand like crucial with the same clockspeed but different capacities, like the stock ram is 8gb then I will add a crucial 16gb ram with the same speed, is there any problems with that
No. But if you pair 8 and 16gb of ram it won't run in dual channel mode. For that you need two sticks of the same capacity. Otherwise only 16gb of your 24 GB will run in dual channel mode. And you'll lose about 10-15 performance.
@@alexanderunknown8605 no. You can see that if you look at the FPS. You're lossing around 5-10% of performance on single channel mode depending on the game. Now one can argue, that 5-10% is not much, and it isn't, but it's there and it's "lost" ;)

Laptop model: Asus Tuf F15 Fx506hcb Core i5, 8gb ram, 4gb Rtx 3050ti,60watt. I have some questions: 1. Can I use a 7mm Sata hard drive raw without putting it in a sata enclosure (case) like yours? 2. Have you experimented with various sata cable like that of HP on your Asus Tuf laptop? Cuz I need to do the upgrade ASAP and I can't find an Asus Tuf F15 sata cable at my local store. 3. As long as my battery isn't 90W, the 7mm sata hard drive should fit in right? Cuz it seems 90watt batteries covers the HDD extra space 4. Will a 7mm HDD actually work? Because you used an SSD to demonstrate and I don't want to buy a HDD if it won't work but that's what I can afford for now. Thanks in advance
1. Should work, but especially regular hdds are vulnerable to moving around especially when acrive and should be fixated. You risk data loss and a head crash if it's loose. 2. No I didn't. Did you search in your box? It might be really hidden inside 3. Correct. 4. Yes. As long as it's really 7mm it should fit fine.
Could you please tell me the number or size of the screw you used when installing the Samsung SSD? I lost the screws but I understand there are different sizes, and I don't know which size to buy. Please

Hi, nice video. Just two simple questions. I've ASUS TUF A15 (8 GB RAM + 512 GB SSD + 4 GB NVIDIA 1650).

At 8:50 you say "you reconnect the battery, because otherwise laptop won't turn on". Surely this can't be right? Is there protection against running the laptop without battery on this model, just from wall power?
This helped alot , one of my ram sticks is Failed so will it run in dual channel if i use crucial cl22 3200 mhz ddr4 ram ? Or would i need to put 2 crucial same sticks ? Also, in my laptop the black plastic is Glued to another Ram. So should i remove it ? Also, Does performance change with crucial ram having no heatsink like the original ram installed?
They will run in dual channel yes. The laptop will adjust both sticks to use the same stick as the slower one. You could just use the heatsink from the old one. But it should not have a big effect overall.

Also, in my laptop the black plastic is Glued to another Ram. So should i remove it ?
Also, Does performance change with crucial ram having no heatsink like the original ram installed?
They will run in dual channel yes. The laptop will adjust both sticks to use the same stick as the slower one.
You could just use the heatsink from the old one. But it should not have a big effect overall.
will adding ram or ssd cancel the warranty of asus tuf?
No! :)
@@Hubwood LOL, really? you disassemble the laptop, YES, the "seal" is only on cooler, but...
I have the ryzen 5 version , 512ssd. What's the maximum ssd I can put? Like is it only 512 for each slot ? or can I place a 1tb ssd along with the 512 that came with the laptop?? Thank you sir!
You can place a 1tb along the 512 gb ssd :). Most 2TB Ssds "should" work too.
Do you have to install this? I recently bought this laptop and the ssd came with it and I'm scared to harm anything
You don't have to do anything. This is about upgrading a SECOND ssd or hdd
Are these cables common? i.e. can i use a similar asus cable of asus x515?
I don't know. The cable should be included. If not I posted a link in the description and pinned comment.

my laptop : ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706IHRB
Nice video
Hi so I installed an m. 2 one perfectly as you showed but my laptop isn't detecting it? What should I do know?
Use the windows disk management to format it, if it's not showing up.
Make sure to enter the bios first and see if it's recognized!
Hi. Why did you put an additional ssd if you also put a hdd? hdd not working without ssd? Or you can directly put a 1 TB HDD for storage. Thank you very much
It's working without. You can run the laptop with any Combination.
what kind of heatsink cover would fit the SSD m2?
I have the rtx 3050 version is there any difference ?
Can you check if a 2 or 4gb SSD works for me? got the same laptop and asus said max is 1.5tb, which i can't find
My asus tuf a15 does not have metal slot for ssd ?😢 Is that possible?or is there anyway to purchase that? Iwanna add internal storage
Might be a completely different model from another year?
