ASUS TUF F15 (FX517Z ) How to Upgrade your Ram and SSD 2022

Cheers boss. The bottom right screw was something I wasn't expecting to remain attached when taking the bottom panel off.

[@Nathanseditzz]

[@santiagoalfaro9844]

Thanks u! I already bought 32 gb of ram for my tuf 15 and I didnt know how to install it, so thank u! Nice video.

[@Hexalife_Apps]

does 32 gb was supported, please let us know I have same laptop.

[@WavyyFour]

​@Hexalife_Apps yes sir, 32gb is definitely supported, just make sure that is a ddr5 👍

[@lavishvohra2594]

which company ssd you bought ?

[@shivthink]

Great informative video, I successfully added new ssd to second slot. Thank you 🙏

[@isaac.fidei82]

Very detailed and thorough tutorial, loved it ❤️❤️

[@eGORE234]

I did absolutely everything as shown in the video, before inserting the ssd into the second slot (because the first one is already occupied by another ssd), I disconnected the battery cable. I connected everything, including the battery cable, everything fell into place. but the laptop won't turn on anymore. even with the battery disconnected while being connected directly to the power supply. why could this happen?

[@angvalpet774]

hey did you figure this out? I'm having the same problem right now and could use some advice.

[@eGORE234]

I was stupid, my situation was this: I removed the laptop cover and immediately disconnected the battery cable with a PLASTIC SPATULATOR (NO METAL IN ANY CASE). after that when i was sure i had disconnected the battery cable and the board had no power i decided to add a second ssd, installed it and then reconnected the battery cable to the motherboard. so with a happy face I assembled the laptop (connected the battery and closed the lid) and decided to turn it on, but I tried to turn it on from the battery not directly from the power supply. I spent the whole evening trying to figure out what I did, I thought I broke my laptop. I even thought at first that I did something wrong when I installed the SSD in the second slot. but everything turned out to be easier, I checked the laptop connected directly to the power supply, but WITHOUT PLASTIC BOTTOM - THAT WAS THE MISTAKE If you look closely, you will see that the cover of your laptop has metal strips which as I understand close something on the circuit board, so the laptop will start only with the plastic bottom AND ONLY DIRECTLY FROM THE POWER SUPPLY, because when I tried to turn on the laptop with the plastic bottom, but no power from the power supply unit (from the battery), then it did not turn on.

This bad thing of asus tuf dash f15 , unfortunately we need to remove 12 screws for upgrade RAM and adding ssd .

[@viralprimenetwork]

Love this guide! very accurate and detailed.

[@TrackPadDad]

Good video but I worry about you not pointing out enough safety precautions to protect it when open or demonstrating them. Static discharge is a huge risk, and you don't have wrist straps, which is fine but you also didn't ground yourself with the metal plating (not connected to the motherboard, there for static protection), and for people with vinyl or carpet floors it's more than easy for them to create dangerous levels of static discharge when they go in and touch components. Even when you disconnected the battery you could've been bumping the leads on transistors, also you didn't cycle out power after disconnecting the battery. I'm not trying to be over critical even though it sounds like that, but when you're making videos to help people do things for themselves, not showing those habits could cause them to damage their laptop and something like static discharge is hard to pinpoint

[@racimbio]

Even though damage through static electricity is rare you are absolutely correct. Having good habits like that are for sure the way to go and I agree with you that it's a good idea to show that on camera. What I usually tell people is that if you do not have an way to ground yourself ( antistatic bracelet, Matt and so on. Before opening your device, touch something metal that is grounded to discharge yourself and also remove the battery to prevent electrical damage while inside. The video though is meant to be short so yes I skipp through much of that information. In 15 years and thousands of units, I'm happy to say I've never once killed any unit or component due to static electricity :) its also way more difficult to kill parts with static then people may think. That being said I do think you are correct and I will do better about showing that part of the process as well. Thank you so much for the feed back I really truly appreciate it. That is critical feedback I want so I can make future videos better for everyone. Much love and merry Christmas.

[@itsBhavixd]

So pls tell how to prevent it like in normal terms and how to change it and should I disconnect the battery and how should I be standing and where

How do I copy the contents of my current HD to the new one? Thanks.

[@claysoggyfries]

Whenever I did it, it goes to the bios utility menu

[@racimbio]

If you replaced the drive with a new one, you will now have to install windows on the new one. Here is one explaining how to make a windows install drive. kzbin.info/www/bejne/np7MoYuMrtB7i8Usi=2ULnaMYaKzGa0_lw The difference in yours will be that your boot key may be F8 for Asus. If f8 dosnt work for boot selection then within bios It should show a boot option. Often though , if your new drive is blank, it might auto boot into the windows install drive that you make. One more thing to keep in mind, on this laptop there is a second nvme slot on the right. Of you wanted to keep your oroginal drove as an operating system, then just install both the old drive and the new one utilizing both slots. It should auto boot into the original drive like normal. You will just have to format the new drive once in windows and set it as a data drive.

[@ghilmandilshad9495]

thinking to buy this laptop still not sure where the second ssd will might go

[@SnaKops]

The bottom right screw has a plastic to hold it? My screw just came off, I hope there isn't something to hold the screw that just fell into the laptop, because it is doing a strange sound.

[@Nevermore77]

Is it possible to install ssd with heatsink like the pre installed one for WD?

[@brennanb6001]

Is it normal to see some sparks when putting the battery connector back in place? I'm trying to get it in place and push the metal part back over it, but the metal part won't go over it and it seems like the connector won't push in all the way, but keeps sparking when I get both sides kinda pushed in.

[@mmontoya80]

did you leave it without the battery locked in? I'm seeing the same sparks and not able to slide that little part, help!!

[@Jurornumber5]

Sparks are good. But if it doesn't restart that just means the battery drained and you can connect it to your car's battery and jump it with alligator clips.

[@apiwich111]

May I ask what is the black film/tape for? Just want to know if it's necessary to put it back on after adding a second SSD to my laptop.

[@indiaislove9132]

Just a protection layer

[@taylorshin]

The stock M.2 and RAMs have some kind of thermal tape deposited on them. And the film is covering them. Definitely giving a sign that the film is some kind of graphite thermal dissipation sheet. Having the sheet or not... I'm not sure it makes too much difference since there must be almost no airflow in that area. You just need to make sure to use laptop on a hard flat surface and it won't change the thermal characteristics too much even without the film. I think they installed it to ensure longevity of the device.

Yes you can upgrade the ram and ssd. 8 gb of ram is very low nowadays so it would help to at least have 16 gb so if you decided to just add a second matching 8gb stick that will also help. Ddr5 ram is still a bit expensive.

If you replaced your original drive then you need to Install your windows OS again. If you added a secondary drive and left the original drive in, then you will need to make sure your secondary drive shows up in windows. Click on files explorer, click on this pc option on the left . If your new drive shows up, then good. If not, then you will have to format it within disc management and add a drive letter.

[@racimbio]

If you changed the ssd, the ssd had the os on it so you will need to install a new copy of windows onto the new ssd. You can download the media creation tool from Microsoft for windows 10 or windows 11. You will just need a 16 gb USB drive to create the media onto and then boot I to that USB on the laptop which then takes you through the new os install. I can probably make a video to show the process.

Why are half of you guys commenting about ssds if you know nothing about laptops or computer in general 😂😭 there’s another slot right in front of your face

Im thinking of buying this laptop soon and upgrading it... what is the purpose of the film and pros and cons of removing it? and when adding another NVME I purchased a very slim heatsink not sure it it will all fit but willing to try.

I am going to do the same. I bought the Samsung 980 pro but decided to buy the one without heat sink because of price and size worries. A friend told me to get a thermal pad so I might do that they are cheap enough on Amazon.
