It should be and that's precisely what I did in this video, however, of course I need to disclaim that you should do so at your own risk. Using Asus' official guidance, it does suggest discharging the battery down to 25% or below and disconnecting it: rog.asus.com/articles/guides/how-to-upgrade-the-ram-and-ssd-of-your-rog-zephyrus-g14-laptop/

In your specific case I'd recommend just getting the 32GB, there is simply no compensating for lack of memory and using paging files would have a far greater performance impact than running just dual channel with DDR5.

@@TekyTimbo Thank you. I actually did order the Crucial 32gb ram from Amazon and installed it this morning. My computer is very snappy now compared with before. it game a scare when the computer took longer to turn on after I installed the ram. Your video is very helpful BTW.

Thx, I didn't know that - however, I wonder if that's limited (e.g. normal wear and tear not eligible) or if that is regardless of aging? Might have to pick up an Arkfeld if it's the latter. :)

@@TekyTimbo ya its kool they send you one as good as condition or better back to you

If you mean the Red LED variant, it's helpful to preserve night vision as Red is one of the wavelengths that's easiest on the eyes espeically when dark adapted. If you mean the Red LED on the button, it's to indicate that the battery is nearly or actually depleted and requires charging.

Thank you for your reply. Yeah I was asking about the red LED variant, so that is answered. That may be the way to go for me as I've never really had much need for UV in all my 53 years on this planet. Excellent torch 🔦 I will go for the midnight blue. For me it's mainly for hiking and the laser will be great for stargazing and some work presentations. It looks like a very well thought out product.

One interesting way I found to use the UV light was to test sunglasses that are purportedly UV blocking; I'll cover that in my future full review of the light. But for your use case, I agree that Red would work great. Good luck with it and enjoy the light!

Just not YOUR preferred side. I've used on hat brim for reading and table work. Belt clip and back pack strap band (loop) for hiking. Works great.

dads thats who. this also works with any tape not just aluminum tape

Try reaching out to the manufacturer of your light; however, many lights use similar switches so you might be able to utilize a similar one from a different brand. Which model do you have?

Great tip! Thx for chiming in!

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Fortunately for me, mine has behaved pretty well since making this tweak in the BIOS.

Sadly, that's how manufacturers are with most electronics but thankfully EU's new law re: replaceable batteries (albeit in smart phones and tablets) should help set a precedent in the right direction. As for these lights, I'm going to be doing a tear down to see how easily (or not) the battery can be displaced.

EDIT: precedent isn't really correct since there were many battery-powered devices that previously had user-replaceable batteries, so I should say it's a step back in the right direction.

​@TekyTimbo I have a small little hybrid Keychain light. It takes an AAA and it also has a built in lithium and it's nice. You can also use 10440 batteries.

Sounds like a sweet little EDC, what moedel is it?

@TekyTimbo RovyVon Angel Eyes E3 they make a bunch of different models. Some have two different led's in them some have lights on the body. They are neat lights though some are a little expensive mine wasnt too bad. No crappy micro usb charger port either like a lot of lights still. Its USB C thankfully.

It's a marginal difference but if your daily work flow demands > 16GB then it could make a significant difference vs. hitting your pagefile.

Regular scotch tape has shown to be quite weak for this purpose and doesn't hold up, hence my use of aluminum tape - but of course, YMMV.

Noice! Thanks for chiming in on HWinfo - think it defo was a bug with the app back when I put together this vid.

Thx for chiming in! Am pinning your comment so others can see it.

muy importante

First off, that was a nice mobo swap, congrats! Now as to your q, individual DDR5 sticks are dual-channel by default (vs. single for DDR4). Now let’s draw an analogy and think of each RAM stick as a highway (hwy) with 2 lanes each. Then think of GB as representing the length of the hwy instead of capacity (I'll use miles but feel free to replace with kilometers). So you basically have 2 hwys with 4 lanes except that one is 16 miles long (which we’ll call Hwy 16) and the other 8 miles long (called Hwy 8). Let’s pretend that these hwys run parallel with each other and that they start at the same origin and are being filled with cars at the same rate. Basically you have 4 lanes for the first 8 miles but when the cars reach the end of Hwy 8, they’ll be diverted to Hwy 16 with 8 miles left to go but all cars now only have 2 lanes. Coming back to RAM sticks, the first 8GB of the soldered RAM will be “paired” with the 8GB stick to create 16GB of quad channels, the remainder 8GB of your soldered RAM will run in Dual channel as it’s not paired with anything. Now, this isn’t a perfect analogy because unlike Hwys, RAM (the “R” stands for Random) doesn’t fill up sequentially. The point is that the more RAM you have “paired” will create more opportunities for it to be used in quad channel and thus increase performance. So now when you upgrade that 8GB stick to 16GB, all 32GB will be able to run in quad. This is why for soldered RAM, it’s always desirable to have a higher amount since you can’t replace it.
