Very useful video since I didn't know it's actually possible to change lenght config for both SSD slots ! Many thanks 😃
No problem 👍
great video mate
Thanks 👍
where i can find the ssd protection you put at 4:18
Very useful video, mine is same i tried adding 2nd ssd as 2280 but its not showing in bios or in disk management.
Why some screws won't come out ? I tried to install ram but 4 screws won't come out so i left it as it is because i don't want to break anything
Hi, Sorry in kinda late, I bought a Dell g15 5535 that came in a bundle, what ddr ram does it use and what where can I buy the sticks? Also super helpsul video, i will be using soon to upgrade my laptop
What is the SSD you bought?
Can i paste New GPU for dell g 15?
can i upgrade my battery from 54wh version to the 86wh ?
Amazing video, but i have a question: i saw on the users manual you can only use either the ssd 2230 or the 2280 both not both at the same time, in this cideo i see you are using both, does system recognize the second ssd ?
How much is the maximum SSD? I want to add a 2Tb on the 2230 and a 4Tb on the 2280
time to put water cooling in my i have currently taken everything apart cant be bothered putting back properly
What is the ram company i have g15 5530 8gb ram wanted to upgrae it kindly give the model no.
Hey Super Late to the vid. But that ram you upgarded to what i just got this exact one with the same specs u put in comments. I want to put 32gb ram into it but not sure if it can handle please let me know. Thank You, LIKED.
It can run 64gb of ram
Do they make you use Dell Ram or can I swap brands to say, corsair as long as i keep the same ram speed?
You can swap brands, and in many cases even speed.
Hey there! I'm curious about the potential impact of installing 64 GB of RAM in my Dell G15 5520 laptop. Has anyone tried it, and what were the results? Did it work smoothly, or did it lead to any issues? I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop's RAM, and I'd love to hear about your experiences and recommendations. Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!
It is a very easy upgrade to load up and upgrade one's RAM into the two memory slots after one has disconnected the 5525 battery. One can get the 64GB of RAM memory upgrade from Crucial for about $165 which is about $2.58 per Gb of memory which for the price will just about ensure that any potential RAM memory storage capacity issues will be a forgotten memory; not bad for a very easy one time memory upgrade cost; it will extend one's Dell's 5525 useful life for at least another two years or so; so the rather modest money for this memory upgrade will yield very good return on one's investment dollar. Now upgrading one's m.2 2280 to the 4Gb PCI NVMe is also another excellent idea also as well since it can in fact accommodate not one but two m.2 2280 4Gb PCI NVMe SSD drives for $205 per 4Gb PCI NVMe SSD drive; so one for $370 one could have 64Gb RAM with 4Tb SSD Drive or for $575 one could have 64Gb RAM with 8Tb SSD Drive; now that would be a mind blowing upgrade indeed that would definitely definitively upgrade one's Dell 5525 notebook for at least another five years or so; so one will definitely getting an excellent return on one's investment; until the next generation GPU video cards have come out and seriously dropped down in price.
What specs. Also i heared people saying the amd ryzen version has a second ssd slot but its only missing a bracket. Do you have any idea if this is true?
Hi, the specs for this one are:
Specs
Core i7-13650HX
RTX 4060, 8GB GDDR6
16GB, 2x8GB, DDR5, 4800MHz
1TB, M.2, PCIe NVMe, SSD
15.6" FHD (1920x1080) 165Hz, 3ms, sRGB-100%
I don't have Ryzen version this year yet.
@ComputerizedCanada thank you so much man. You earned a sub
Hello thanks for the video.
Do you think a nvme drive with a heatsink will fit?
I think a thin one would.
Ok thx
Quick please, when adding the new ssd, do we have to remove the battery connection first? Or can i add the ssd directly without disconnecting battery?
Personally I've never had an an issue without disconnecting the battery before, just make sure it's fully powered off. But many have recommended that step to avoid an accidental short.
@@ComputerizedCanadaok, thanks man❤
Is there already a second bracket in there? If not, what do i need to buy if I wanna put another SSD in there?
I used to be able to contact Dell customer service and they would mail me a SSD bracket for free in 2021/2022, but they don't do that anymore in my experience.
Do we get 1 or 2 ssd slots?
Only 1 this year :(
@@ComputerizedCanada In the video you can see that there is another slot for an m2 or am I seeing wrong?
what;s worst apart from every other good specs - can't change thermal paste, like on other laptops
Yeah the flip design of the motherboard from Dell/Alienware makes it very hard to do maintenance.
Is that the 5535 version?
How much could be upgraded per slot
Reapplying thermal paste on this laptop will be long job😅
No doubt!
@@ComputerizedCanada You should try using phase-change material Honeywell PTM7950. It comes in as a sheet, lasts longer and performs in my experience works better than traditional pastes.
May i install 32gb, 16gb x2 ?
Yes
Can we use 2 2280 SSD or only one?
It has only one slot.
If I remove the factory SSD and use
Both slots to use 2 2280 SSDs then?
Is it dell g15 5520
5530
This is a great help for me when I buy a 5530. I do plan to upgrade the ram. Thank you!
