Hi Guys, if you want to follow this DIY make sure to disconnect the battery first before you install the memory and the ssd (which i forgot to do in the video, my bad 😅) If you have comments or suggestions please let me know in the comments section.. Have a great day everyone! 🙂
There's this model of Tuf F15 2021 with RTX2060, does anyone know/tested if it can support more than 1Tb ssd like 2/3/4 on a single slot?, coz the support says it only supports 1tb on both slot but I'm hardly believing it for a laptop this expensive I need 2 have more storage.
Nice guide sir!... automatic like and subscribed agad. btw ask ko lang sana nag specs ng ssd mo.. baka kasi mali ang mabili ko at nd comaptible hehe. .Thanks!
what happens if you don't disconnect the battery what possible is goes wrong I am an amateur I don't know if I should be tinkering around my laptop I think I'm going to take it to Best buy maybe to do the job because if I do it's a brand new laptop just paid for it so I'm not going to get it screwed up but best of luck you guys
If you don't disconnect the battery, the motherboard still has the power flowing through it. Yow may short important components while in the process of upgrading (accidentally touching other parts of the motherboard) and may also cause voiding your warranty..
Safe lang po ba na gawin ito kahit walang experience sa mga laptops? Natatakot kasi ako baka masira ko Yung saken. Tsaka san nyo po pala nabili ung ssd and ram, if online pwede pasend link hehe tyy
If di ka po confident mas ok siguro na mag patulong at magpagabay sa mas nakakaalam, possible din kasi na mavoid ang warranty kapag nagkaroon ng damage habang binubuksan.. Sa PC Express physical store po ako bumili ng SSD at memory, pwede ka din po bumila via Lazada dun sa Kingston Flagship store, other alternative po na store na nabibilhan ko din is EasyPC(meron din sa Lazada) Kingston Flagship Store Lazada >> s.lazada.com.ph/s.fwxTG EasyPC Lazada >> EasyPC s.lazada.com.ph/s.fwEYo
whats the procedure for selecting the correct/suitable ssd stick for a laptop, like in terms of the model and version, how do we look up. Please provide the meathod. Thank you ;)
Hi! Always check first the spec sheet of your laptop model and check the following: *check if it has secondary SSD slot available (M.2 or SATA) *if it only has 2.5" SATA port, you may use 2.5" SATA SSD *if it has another M.2 port, identify if it is an NVME or SATA M.2 slot
If your laptop is DDR4 yes you can.. but do note that if your laptop model only supports slower speed than 3200MHz, it will only run at that slower speed..
Just bought this at Lazada today! Also bought a Kingston 500 GB SSD to expand the stock 512gb ssd already in the laptop. A question, do I really need to disconnect the battery before slotting in the SSD? If so, how does one do that?
You can install the SSD without unplugging the battery but it is not recommended. Because there is still a power source connected, you may short important components while in the process by touching them specially your new SSD. There is a wire that connects the battery to the motherboard with a white head plug and colorful wires, it is located in the middle and beside the RAM slot..
Nice video bro, I just wanna ask you something about the RAM stick that u instaled Talking about laptops (specifically about this one cuz I do have it). Is there no problem at all when you install a RAM stick of another brand into this laptop (Specially gaming) ? I'm asking cuz I wanna expand the RAM of my laptop but Im not to sure if just buying one with the same speed is good and enough or do I need (for better experience maybe) to replace the default one and buy 2 RAM sticks with the same brand, CL, etc.
Hi! Yes you can use other brand the same as I did in the video, it will also run in dual channel mode as long as you install the same capacity and speed.. But if you want to buy a 2x kit stick the better because it is rated to run at the exact same speed and CL timings..
Hi! Yes you can, as you can see in the video it has a preinstalled 1 M.2 NVMe and another free M.2 slot which I used to add additional storage.. For the RAM (memory), you can only have 32GB max total..
As far as i know it will not except if there would be a physical damage caused by opening the back panel so be careful on performing upgrade - carefully remove the cover and as much as possible do not touch motherboard components to prevent ESD damage.. Also check if there is a seal in one of the screw socket as some other stores are putting it and removing it will void warranty..

Good day, I had question with regards to the type of SSD to install. Below is my model. Thank you in advance! Asus TUF Gaming F15 15.6" 16/512Gb Gray (FX506HCB-HN161)

Hi as far as I know yours has an Intel 11th Gen processor right? If thats the case then DDR5 will not be compatible with your unit and you can only use DDR4 memory kits..
Hello, Thank you for this video! My laptop is an ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX_506LH and its ram is 8GB 2933MHz SODIMM. I want to add another ram to the slot. But it's hard to find the ram with the correct size and speed since I don't much of 2933MHz ram. Is it alright to get a new ram card but with a different speed or should it be the exact same as the one I have right now?
Hi, yes its fine if you can get a higher speed one.. What will your computer do is it will downclock the new memory speed to match your old memory.. I suggest getting a 3200Mhz..
Hi I have to put 8gb more ram in my pc, did you do the same? From 8gb did you simply add 8gb? Is your pc the asus tuf gaming f15 i5 8gb ram rtx 3050? i don't want to be wrong, thank you
Yes it will help you improve your gaming experience.. You will also see a signifcant improvement when youre multi tasking applications (ex: streaming while gaming and etc)..
mine was also stuck🤣. I tried to use pliers and it works like a charm, just make sure you grab the head of the screw and then twist little by little so the screw is not damaged

Hi! model/brand of ram and ssds may vary for every TUF F15 laptops since ASUS outsource these hardwares to different manufacturers .. This also happens to other laptop model and brand..
Hi Reggie, I'm new to this. Recently bought Asus tuf f15. Its with 512gb rom and 8gb ram. Have few queries 1. Can i remove both 8gb and 512gb and replace with 16gb two rams and 1tb 2 slots? 2. In addiiton to it ,can i fill the 1tb hdd slots too? 3. If point 1 is possible then by removing the stock ram and rom, will pc lose the old memory? where will the windows os be stord?
Hi! to answer your question 1. Yes you can. 2. The model in the video doesn't have hdd slot only m.2 storage. Kindly check your model spec sheet first to be sure. 3. You need to reinstall windows in the new storage since you will replace it.. If you dont want to lose your current setting you may consider cloning it to the new storage.. I also have instruction for disk cloning which i made on my other video..
I just recently bought the ASUS - TUF Gaming A15 15.6" FHD 144Hz Gaming Laptop-AMD Ryzen 7-8GB DDR5 Memory-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti-512GB PCIe SSD Do you know if the ssd is expandable as well like your laptop? I know the RAM is.Just though I'd ask as I've never opened a laptop up before. Thanks
Hi! thanks for the tutorial, i want to replace the 512 default ssd by 1Tb ssd. Is this slot Pcie 4.0 or 3.0? Will work with a Western Digital nvme m.2? Thanks!
@@regieaustria1742 i tried it, it doesnt work. i bought a screw driver that does work for it, it’s coming very soon. but if the screw driver i ordered doesnt work what happens if i just put the ssd inside without screwing it in?
On the website is say's I can have a Maximum memory of 64GB and I want to know if I can buy to two 16gb ram sticks (aka 32gb ram) and take out my 8gb stick and replace it, will it still work?
Hi! You can also use the NV2.. The difference between NV1 and the NV2 is that the NV2 now runs at PCIE 4.0.. This laptop only has PCIE 3.0 M.2 slot but PCIE 4.0 is also backwards compatible.. So if you use the NV2 it will only downgrade its speed to match the PCIE 3.0 speed of this laptop and still works..
Hello, thank you for this video! May I know how much an ssd usually costs? I wanna upgrade my laptop at its maximum storage and so I need an estimate so I can save up for Christmas. I'm thinking 1TB for each slot since I use it a lot for gaming and editing. How much do you think would that cost? My model is TUF F15 FX506HM_FX506HM
Hi! it depends on SSD brand that you'll purchase.. But if you will use the same brand and model in the vid (Kingston NV1 1TB NVME) it costs around Php4500 or around $80 per piece..
@@regieaustria1742 Oh I see, how about a 2TB of SSD, how much does that usually cost? And for the ram, I currently have the 8GB that was already there. What's the limit of ram that I can have and how much are they?
For 2TB Kingston NVME it cost around Php 8900 (around $155) You can have a maximum total of 32GB for the RAM. The additional memory i used in the vid cost Php1600 (around $28) per 8GB 3200Mhz stick..
up to you po sir.. if tingin mong kaya mo sir go lang po.. make sure lang po na maging maingat sa pagbukas ng laptop at habang iniinstall natin ang upgrade components para wala po madamage specially sa motherboard..
Hi, it depends on your workload, if you have consistent high disk R/W utilization then you may consider installing one. I also made another video on putting a heatsink on the M.2 Nvme drive that I used in this video..
You must first initialize the SSD.. Go to Computer Management>Storage, you will see your new SSD in the list. Right click it and initialize then format it to create a new volume..
Can anyone help me? I want to upgrade my m.2 ssd in my Asus Vivobook laptop. The thing is, I see that many m.2 ssd's come with heat sinks. My laptop is too thin to make an m.2 fit with a heat sink, and the current 128gb m.2 in my laptop does not have a heat sink. Now my question is; Does a 2tb m.2 ssd run too hot to use without a heatsink in a laptop? Should I be looking at a smaller m.2 that runs less hot? Or is the heat of a 2tb m.2 not going to be a problem for a laptop? Thank in advance to any who answer!
I think you should be fine without a heatsink.. Mine used to be around 45-60 degrees when doing doing heavy task like video editing and file transfer.. If you still want to make sure, you may choose an ssd with a very thin heatsink like the Kingston Fury Renegade and etc.
That is the captive screw, it will not come off entirely.. Just loosen it and when loosened enough you'll feel or hear a click, it will create a tiny gap to help you pry the bottom cover in that area
@@regieaustria1742 Hoping to upgrade yung akin kaya lang not really sure kung ano i upgrade. Pag ba d issue ang budget, ano sa tingin mo best RAM at SSD? Sana msgot🙂
If di issue budget pwede mo po isagad ng up to 2x 16GB DDR4 3200MHz SODIMM ung RAM while sa SSD naman may mga larger than 1TB na NVME SSDs(Samsung Evo, Kingston Fury etc.)
Go to Computer Management > Storage.. You should see your new SSD in the list uninitialized.. From there you can right click it and Initialize and a create a new volume..
Sir ask ko po just bought new one fx506 asus f15 i510300 gtx 1650. Plan to add 8gb compatible kung mag add ako 1 lang na ram or 1 pair same brand 8gb ram po thank you
pwede naman din po na ibang brand kagaya nung ginawa ko sa video.. mas recommended na same speed ng ram ang kunin mo para mag operate sa dual channel mode ung memory..

Hi! You can also use the NV2.. The difference between NV1 and the NV2 is that the NV2 now runs at PCIE 4.0.. This laptop only has PCIE 3.0 M.2 slot but PCIE 4.0 is also backwards compatible.. So if you use the NV2 it will only downgrade its speed to match the PCIE 3.0 speed of this laptop and still works..
@@regieaustria1742 so will it make My Laptop slower? Or will I have the Maximum Speed i can get?
No, you just cant use the extra speed capability of the SSD..
thx
Hello, thank you for this video! May I know how much an ssd usually costs? I wanna upgrade my laptop at its maximum storage and so I need an estimate so I can save up for Christmas.
I'm thinking 1TB for each slot since I use it a lot for gaming and editing. How much do you think would that cost?
My model is TUF F15 FX506HM_FX506HM
Hi! it depends on SSD brand that you'll purchase.. But if you will use the same brand and model in the vid (Kingston NV1 1TB NVME) it costs around Php4500 or around $80 per piece..
@@regieaustria1742 Oh I see, how about a 2TB of SSD, how much does that usually cost?
And for the ram, I currently have the 8GB that was already there. What's the limit of ram that I can have and how much are they?
For 2TB Kingston NVME it cost around Php 8900 (around $155)
You can have a maximum total of 32GB for the RAM. The additional memory i used in the vid cost Php1600 (around $28) per 8GB 3200Mhz stick..
@@regieaustria1742 Ohhh only 32gb? Or is that 32gb per ram slot?
32GB total for both ram slot
Isa pa boss ano mas maganda sa Technician ba magpapagawa o ako na mag gagawa by watching this video?
up to you po sir.. if tingin mong kaya mo sir go lang po.. make sure lang po na maging maingat sa pagbukas ng laptop at habang iniinstall natin ang upgrade components para wala po madamage specially sa motherboard..
With the ssd, does it need a heatsink and which ones would fit in the laptop?
Hi, it depends on your workload, if you have consistent high disk R/W utilization then you may consider installing one.
I also made another video on putting a heatsink on the M.2 Nvme drive that I used in this video..
@@regieaustria1742 okay thank you I'll watch that next

Will bx500 or mx500 ssd work?
Hi! Only m.2 nvme ssd version will work on this laptop
Can anyone help me? I want to upgrade my m.2 ssd in my Asus Vivobook laptop. The thing is, I see that many m.2 ssd's come with heat sinks. My laptop is too thin to make an m.2 fit with a heat sink, and the current 128gb m.2 in my laptop does not have a heat sink. Now my question is; Does a 2tb m.2 ssd run too hot to use without a heatsink in a laptop? Should I be looking at a smaller m.2 that runs less hot? Or is the heat of a 2tb m.2 not going to be a problem for a laptop? Thank in advance to any who answer!
Hi! it depends on your workload.. Usually , m.2 SSDs heats up with intensive read writes.. What tasks are you doing with your laptop?
@@regieaustria1742 It will be my OS drive. Sometimes some gaming and regularly reading and writing large video files to and from it.
I think you should be fine without a heatsink.. Mine used to be around 45-60 degrees when doing doing heavy task like video editing and file transfer.. If you still want to make sure, you may choose an ssd with a very thin heatsink like the Kingston Fury Renegade and etc.
@@regieaustria1742 Thanks. Appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
im struggling on Opening the last screw on the bottom right, what should i do?
That is the captive screw, it will not come off entirely.. Just loosen it and when loosened enough you'll feel or hear a click, it will create a tiny gap to help you pry the bottom cover in that area
@@regieaustria1742 is that what u did on yours? I can't seem to feel it being loosened
Yes, as you can see in the video.. I just loosened and didn't pullout that 1 screw..
@@regieaustria1742 Did you use the same screw that you used to remove the other 10? I'm not sure if Mine is loosening up, do you have any tips?
Yes, i only used the same screwdriver bit.. What does exactly happening on your screw? does it turn or stucked?
