I had to watch 50 seconds of this video to get what I needed. Thank you for this!
Nice video, I can see that it has 2 m.2 ssd slot, and 1 traditional sata ssd/hdd slot. which gives you three memory.
2tb ssd, 512tb ssd, and 2tb ssd sata will give you 4.5tb of memory. Nice.
After you unscrew the bottom the first thing you should do with these laptops is loosen the bearings holding up the screen a little bit because they're too tight for the thin flexible plastic casing around the screen. The pushing up of the screen every day eventually caused a crack on the left side of the screen casing for my FX705DT it showed up earlier this year.
Looks like you'll have to take out the cooling system to do that though but not sure if the bearings are attached to the cooling system or the cooling system is just sitting next to the screws, and possibly the metal plating underneath is keeping it in place too.
From what other people have shown they make the bearings on Asus laptops a bit too tight i've seen some photos of the whole side totally broken off and it's always the left side, why it doesn't do it to the right side i've no idea.
Very nice. Thanks a lot. I was starting to look after screw #12, 13 and so on... :)
MT7921 wi-fi 6?
Hi, could you share exact model No please,
I have FX706HCB model and there is no HDD bracket and SATA connector on the PCB
This is 2020 model , please specify year model please because heat sink pipe is 3 in 2021 model compare with 2 heat sink pipe in 2020 model
Upon opening, the metallic sticker of the half-exposed SODIMM ram had been floating in the case and WILL NOT re-adhere. Is it safe to use WITHOUT removing the black papery sticker covering both of them? I don't care if it's there, I don't care about heat displacement on SODIMM. No, there are no identifying markers or numbers on these stickers or the paper. It is the set of parts next to the un-grated fan on the right.
Do you have to remove the battery to install the additional ram stick ?
No yo don't need to remove battery.
Does the screw in the bottom right not come completely out? It looks like its still in there.
I laughed seeing this because I had the same problem opening my laptop and that screw just wouldn't come out. Seemed slighly tilted to me. Nothing to worry about though.
Lmao same wtf was that little guy hanging on so hard for?
I popped it out with the end of a flathead 😅
Yup. Bottom right seems a bit crooked, had for me to get out too. Wonder what's with that particular screw placement!
Super. All understand. Thank you.
I bought one recently, however, it does not have the HDD sled or cable.
Yoo this is cool. I didn't know this laptop was upgradable.
My parents are going to give me this laptop for Christmas, they had me pick it out, my concern was it's memory, it only has 8gb of memory the model we bought, seeing that this is upgradable, that is very cool. Thank you very much for the video.
@LaptopMedia How can I now what is the Gen 4 M.2 slot?
2:39 There is no connecting cable for 2.5 SDD in the picture. Can you teach me how to connect(or put) a cable on motherboard?
Its there you have to search for it. They wouldn't leave it out.
@ravvraj yea I was wrong. You need to purchase the connector from somewhere like eBay.
Is it just me or does there actually appear to be a second M.2 PCIe x4 slot right next to the 2.5" drive slot? The narration says it only has one slot (even though the hand in the video at 1:57 seems to point out the second M.2 location)?
I was thinking the same thing. I bought mine second hand and the guy told me i could add another m2.
This video is just mouthing off an article
Actually, yes there are 2 M.2 slots. With that said, are they both Gen4 ? That's doubtful, but you can put 2 Gen3 M.2 SSD's in the F17 ! I got one 2 weeks ago, and just bumped the RAM to the 32GB max yesterday. I'll probably get 2 M.2 2TB Gen3 SSD drives for it, running around 3,500/3,000 MBs. Plenty fast for a non-gaming rig.
@@ntvtexan5015 i put in a 1tb m2. It was gen 3 though, so I don't know about 4
Very nice. Thanks a lot.
Looks like 2 M.2 slots?
I have the same laptop and mine have 8gb, so which type of ram should i use with the stock one (brand, mhz, etc.)
I'm planning to get one tomorrow. It's a pity there's no simple RAM cover, but I understand piece of this size needs extra stability. I would recommend just asking for a shop to order tge correct RAM and change it, otherwise Google will help.
Crucial RAM
yeah i was wondering that too, thinking about upgrading mine too, but no idea what's better :D
3200 hdz DR4 RAM is best you can get
Crucial ram 100% i used the factory one and got the crucial 8gb for the second slot for 16gb and that worked good for a while till I switched to the 32gb curcial kit
I have this same laptop, but my battery is the full width of the device. I have the hard drive port on my motherboard, and I'd be tempted to pickup a hard drive cable to connect a 2.5" SSD for more storage if I could swap out for a smaller battery. That being said, the battery life is already awful (around 2 hours with just web browsing), and I worry about making it even worse. What's your battery life with that battery, and what type / size of battery is it?
If you use a gaming laptop, you shouldnt look forward to the battery because its really bad. I suggest you should plug-in whenever you use to have the best experience and avoid affecting the battery.
Unless you need to game on it, I recommend turning down the refresh rate, it helps extend battery life by a bit
Охладку на мост можно какую нибудь засандалить?или там на крышке есть?
Which of the 2 m.2 ports supports 4.0?
Where is the wifi/bluetooth card located
What are the black paper you removed from the ram?
Do they help with heat?
I can't get the screw out on the bottom right. Do I just leave it?
I have one of these, and i just disassembled it for cleaning and i just left the screw that you are talking about as i had the same issue
I need to reach and replace the MediaTek WiFi Card. Is it worthwhile to do it yourself?
I know it's a while year later. But I need to do the same. Did you ever figure out how?
@@darkcloudstrife7 I figured it out. Bought a tool kit and rubber mat.
I am trying to find out how to remove the motherboard. But I have yet to see a video that dismantles the motherboard. The reason being. I gave my laptop for service and the guy was very stressed when he came out. It was my mistake. When I was turning the laptop I heard a sound inside like a small screw or plastic part was moving. But it stopped moving. I asked him and he said what. I shook the laptop then no sound. there were a lot of people at the service center and lot of sounds so I did not take it seriously.
I got a new SSD so I installed it myself. The screw at the back that is under the hinge on the right hand side (or your left hand side since your hands look like you are standing on the other side.) which is the corner screw near the CPU fan.
My CPU fan stopped working so I think the heat must have made the plastic brittle.
So when I tried to remove the screw. It was not opening. Now I could not go back to the service center as they said if you open the laptop yourself the warranty is void.
For a moment I thought let me just take the laptop back and ask them to clean it which is free under warranty then they will have to deal with opening the screw.
But I like an idiot decided to open it and the plastic moulidng like stars around the metal thread broke. While I was trying to remove it when I moved the laptop I heard the same sound.
Then I realized that the service executive must have turned it a little too tight and since the plastic was brittle it broke.
So I fucked up.
Then I tried holding it up and that broke the entire threading from the plastic. Somehow I pulled it out.
Now it is inside without a screw I have kept the screw.
Now the problem is I have 1 year warranty left and my Intel Display gave me a problem once with some ghost band but now it is ok.
Where i live there are different level of repair guys who repair broken laptops. They melt in the plastic or use some liquid and even remold plastic parts of laptops.
But they are not really hardware experts.
So I want to know how to remove the motherboard from the inside panel.
So when they do I can monitor it. Because Asus has a habit of keeping some hidden screws on purpose. So you miss it and then you break it and the warranty is void.
So they can mold it and even if it not perfect it can't be seen.
Since it is under the motherboard and under the hinge.
So in case I have to give it for warranty or service again I can easily give it and not void my warranty.
I have to keep searching..
Hi there can you put an extra SSD drive inside to upgrade this computer
yes you can put both SATA and NVMe Drives, you can also put HDD in sata drives place :)
hi can we install hdd in this model ??
I don’t have a sata port to plug in an hdd nor an hdd tray???
it works memories of another frequency, 3200?
Does it support M2 gen4?
bro? can u upgrade your processor from i5 11th to i7 11th on asus tuf f17 gaming
no, but yes. its really hard, as the cpus on laptops are soldered to the motherblars unlike a desktop. laptops are not meant to be upgraded. the two pieces of hardware that allow ease of interchangeability/upgrade, is the ram and certain storage spaces.
For the 2,5" HDD, is there a connecting cable in the package or i need to buy it separately?
there is one in the package, writing in my own Asus Tuf F17
@@hide8744
Thank you, i have my own already too :)
Which country and model? New models in EU nope, doesn't even come with metalic bracket
@@Grusemil TUF F17 FX706L (Bought in Hungary) had the cable included.
U.S. models appear to not have the tray or cable included
too bad you only show the disassembly, it would have been better to see how to replace the ram and insert the second pcie
Please? Can I use an intel optane memory in M2 port??
whats the name of the ram
Can I install a sata SSD in this laptop?
how are the temps on this laptop sir?
Laptops will always have higher temps and seeing how he only got 2 heat pipes I would say it could reach even reach up to 100c pretty easily
Its the i5 11260 or 11400?
What is the difference?
How many ram slots are there? And how much gb stick each slot can hold ?
4 ram slots and the other question idk
2 slots says in the vid up to 64gb
Hi, where is the CMOS Battery in this model i can't find it ? thanks
I don’t think it has one bro
Hi, did You found it?
i have the same laptop, can i uprgrade to 64gb of ram??
Yeah with 32 and 32 GN dual
@@joe2947@joe2947 I was worried about this since the spec said max memory 32 GB. But that chipset does support 64 GB. Did you upgrade yours?
which model is this one? FX706LI es53? does it have 2 ssd slot?
I would like to know this too
Fx706. Says it in the description
@@metal-gods not all have 2 slots bro, theres a bunch of different sub-models
How do you get into dual channel mode?
You put in 2 sticks of ram
bro, someone stole ur video.
Where can I order another memory ram?
hey did you ever find it?
It doesn't matter where you order it, in this case the laptop uses DDR4 ram, so search up DDR4 laptop ram. And it will pop up probably. Don't get some cheap ones tho
the cooling looks like shit on this
From what I have seen people say it stays cool.
Hit 47-54 C on extreme settiings
Fan works mint but very loud
Had for less then 2 months . Ran into over heating issues . Laptop turns off it isn’t playable .
Works surprisingly well I can game on silent mode with only about a 15% drop in performance
I have a HM706 and it is worst crap I ever owned. No more asus for me.
Hit the dislike button because of lack of content before and at the end. It's a 3 minute video. Good information about upgrades.
Hello, can you tell me how much RAM I can use? I have fx706he motherboard, Intel Core i7-11800H processor. The asus website says the maximum RAM is 32 GB, the crucial system scanner is 64 GB, and the Intel website says 128 GB. I'm honestly confused...
Are you running like 5 instances of flight simulation? What in the world could you need 32gb for in a laptop lol
I am wondering too. Have you tried with 2x16 GB of RAM? Does the system read all of it and can it effectively use it? I'd be happy to hear your answer. I need this much RAM for Hyper-V.
