Asus ROG STRIX G15 Advantage RAM Upgrade Video

[@720SIX]

For anyone else wondering why their new SSD drive isn’t showing up. You need to format it with Disk Management in Windows (10 or 11 same program). Right click on the unallocated drive and create new simple volume, then name your drive etc. 👍

[@MisterCat007]

I have one problem... The last screw on the top (it's the one that on lower left corner) doesn't want to unscrew... And that's it, I can't even open my notebook's cover. My dad told me that probably the screw's carving is ruined, because I can actually spin it, but it only spins and is not unscrewed :( Can I do anything with that myself? Or the only way is to hang it to the service ;/ I've already bought new RAM and I'm so sad right now... cuz it's the first time I opened my laptop, the screws are stock :(

[@Tech-n5m]

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with unscrewing your laptop. Here’s what I find online. Hope it helps: The likely reason that the screw is turning without withdrawing is that some of the threads on the screw or in the mating part of the laptop have been stripped. Thus was likely caused by ovetightening of the screw. The way to remove the screw is to simultaneously pry the screw out while turning it. This will allow undamaged portions of the threads to engage with each other. A good way to do this it to take pieces of brass shim stock and cut small V-shaped notches in them. The notches allow the shim stock to fit around and under the screw you are attempting to remove. Wedge one or more of the pieces of shim stock between the screw head and the case while turning the screw counter-clockwise. Alternatively, if the other screws have already been removed from the case, it is often possible to insert plastic wedges (say a credit card) between the two mating parts of the case and in that way apply upward pressure on the one recalcitrant screw allowing the threads to engage while you unscrew it. Make sure you are using the proper type of screwdriver. On a laptop this is often a Star or Torx head screw and requires a Star or Torx screwdriver. Do not mistake this for a standard Phillips screwdriver

[@slawekgemba]

Very nice video. I'm sure you helped many people! You made it in a calm and easy to follow way and I hope more people can make it this way,. Without rushing things and explaining all the items. Very very good. Although I didn't need that guide, I watched it in full because of the way it was made. Can i suggest something? (i'm not critical just want to help). Ram is in GB so gigabytes not Gb which is gigabit. Small thing but would improve info slightly. Other thing is, this laptop is made in the way that one corner screw is longer and is locked to the casing (at least it should according to info and to what i have in my unit) so it lifts the lid and helps to open it. It is possible that not all versions have it implemented so I may be wrong with your example. Last thing...try to get some mouse pad or pc maintenance mat so you can rest laptop on it. That way you can avoid scratching laptop while moving it on the table. Believe me, it makes big difference. Keep up the good work. All the best

The ssd slot inside the g15 advantage edition is a GEN3 SSD slot. Yes you can use the Samsung 980 pro and it’s a Gen4 ssd but your gonna get GEN3 speeds between 2000 and 3000MB W&R speeds. Trust me. I tried with a Kingston KC 3000 which is the fastest Gen4 on the market and the pc only allow the ssd card to operate at around 2000/3000MBs again because of the GEN3 SSD slots that’s inside the laptop. I’m currently running two Samsung 970 Evo Plus’s inside the G15 advantage edition laptop. 1 has 1TB and the 2 has 2TB running at 3200-3300 write and 3300-3500 read.

Can I install ddr5 ram in Asus ROG G513qy ? Because the factory ram in ddr4

[@Tech-n5m]

You can but it won’t do you any good because the mother board is design and modified to function with the speed of the ddr4 ram. If you install a ddr5 ram, the laptop may go into safe mode and wont come out, (happens before with something different I was experimenting with). It may also boot up but you wont get ddr5 speeds because of the motherboard. Just get a ddr4 ram that’s 3200mhz and a low cl e.g. 16 or 19-20 with dual rank.

[@TheBurnedManGraham]

Would you see a huger difference using two 16 gbs instead of 32s? 64 is overkill for the work and gaming i do

[@Tech-n5m]

It all boils down to personal preference. I’ve noticed my laptop ran a little faster and better when I maxed out the ram to 64gb (32x2) compared to using 32 (16x2). 32 gb of ram is the sweet spot even if you play a lot of AAA games and average work loads. You only would need 64 if your doing more graphically intense work like 3d, engineering etc. I maxed it out to 64 because the system allows me to and it’s just my preference. The key thing you want to know when getting a ram for the laptop is how low the cas is because the lower the cas, the faster the performance of the ram.

Hi Jordan Sherwood. Sorry for the late reply. The laptop itself is a fantastic laptop but it comes with 16gb of ram which is good enough for some streaming and light gaming. It will definitely get the job done but it’s not good enough if you want to play AAA games, editing etc. So, the ram that it comes with is good enough for average every day use and some gaming but if you’re gonna do hardcore things with this laptop, I would suggest the increase the rams to at least 32gb but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. One thing I would like to point out about this laptop is the Wi-Fi card. It comes with a Mediatek Wi-Fi card that’s not good and many owners of this laptop complain about it with its weak and inconsistent connections and range. Again, the ram is decent enough and you don’t have to change it if you don’t want to but I would definitely change out the Wi-Fi card. They are very affordable and I have a video on how to exchange your Wi-Fi card out. It’s very easy.

Damn this looks a bit too hard for me. My laptop only have 8gb ram and can play some AAA games (fallout 4, GTA 5, the witcher 3, no man sky) at low settings for 20-30 fps. I'm kinda satisfied with it but I'm pretty sure it's couldn't run very demanding games like rdr 2 and Elden ring. So I think upgrading my ram, especially since integrated GPU would benefit more from more ram would be a good idea but I don't think I'm good enough to do this 😔

It’s easy. All you have to do is be patient and take your time. I screwed up couple times until I got it right. So, give it a try.

@@Tech-n5m I'm probably sounds like a total pussy but from a few minutes of thinking, I think I'm gonna do it when I have a backup or something. Like modding games, I would backup the original files before modding the game so my original game files won't get fked when I messed up. Right now I don't have no leftover money to repair if I take the risk and messed up. Have you ever messed up badly while working on the laptop?

[@Tech-n5m]

@@frog6054 messed up, a little, but I completely understand where you’re coming from. I like to take risk but if you’re not comfortable doing something, don’t attempt to do it unless you’re comfortable and you got a backup just in case but I completely understand where you’re coming from.

​@@Tech-n5mdid you discharge the capacitors I'm surprised no one has asked this yet but did you press the power button after you unplug the battery because I took apart this exact computer one time, and it had a spark, I just don't know how to drain the capacitor.

[@Tech-n5m]

@user-by2zs8ib2b no I didn’t. All I did was unplug the laptop, disconnect the battery and hold down the power button for at least 15-30 seconds to drain whatever power that might be stored in the laptop.

[@Tech-n5m]

Are you mixing rams or are they both the same? If your mixing the rams( meaning your using two different rams) one could be faulty or if if they’re both the same, I would reseat the rams and boot up the laptop again and see if that resolves the issue. 🤞

[@RogZoneOfficial]

@@Tech-n5m both are same ram and single single both are test it , i mean slots ok. and lot of time reset. nevertheless not working proparly

@@RogZoneOfficial 1: you can go ahead and update to windows 11 if you want to to see it it’ll correct it or 2: the system is allocation the 8 gb towards vram.
