Bro whoever built my tuf put it together with concrete or something. Had one hell of a time prying it open. Some of the clips just broke off.

[@BominYarou]

You just need the right tools and techniques to open them smoothly (usually).

[@user-hu9uu6ol9d]

Useful guide, happy to find it

[@thegloriousgoldeneagle]

I really love this channel, keep it up!

[@biswajitchandrapaul199]

thanks for the review

[@krypto6848]

I have the same model. Could you do a keyboard video? I dont know my power button is so hard to turn on. I need to press it or hold it in order to turn on. I wanna try and clean the power button. But i think i have the a15 2022 model since i bought it around october 2022 8gb ram ddr5 i upgraded it to 24gb ram and hoping to add more ssd since it already has 500gb of built in ssd. Gonna add 1tb ssd if i can get the power button to work smoothly.

[@williankall]

Thanks dear

[@fabriglas]

Hi just bought this, can you tell me what size is the nvme drive length wise? Longest 228? Or short one or what the part no is and I can look it up myself?

[@rohansarkar6292]

2280

[@ban2cold]

Can I change the screen to the screen of the tuf a16?

[@Keriarty]

So how can we dissassamble and clean the fans?

[@splenderanno]

anybody know how to upgrade my fa507re's cooling performance with thermal pads?

[@Twixks]

Hello I want to know if the screws are having different size anywhere? I’m in need of this information as I want to open my back lid of my laptop and clean the fans out.

[@ShawshankR3demption]

Yes, there are 3 different sizes and one of the corner screws does *not* come out on purpose.

[@Twixks]

@@ShawshankR3demption yes hello, I noticed that one on the bottom right does not come out, is there any idea to open the full lid? I would like to get in contact with you to talk further because I have already accumulated a lot of lint and I need to get rid asap.

[@BominYarou]

What kind of gloves are you using???

[@Rx-mf5ln]

anybody know whats the exact size of screw driver head i need for the screw on the ssd slot? i cant seem to get a grip on it with the screwdriver heads that i have

[@hartjohnsen1372]

You figured out yet?

[@Keriarty]

Ph1 screw is griping well

[@jankijan8004]

I need to clean the keyboard, is it easier or do I have to unscrew everything?

[@linaaoki]

I need to unscrew it too as my keyboard creaks a lot when I touch the buttons. Unfortunately, they didn't show the main thing I searched for 😞

[@urwikvlogs]

Does it have additional slot in this model ASUS TUF A15 (2023) FA577NU-LP082W. Please provide me information about this model

[@thew3ld]

Yes. If you look at the right side you can clearly see the additional M.2 slot.

[@vishnunaik5409]

If there is a static Noise issue with headphone jack.then it will lead to entire motherboard swap ? Because it is attached to motherboard i guess

[@filippetrovic845]

You really use headphone jack still? God, using bluetooth headphones is a life changer.

[@minehffd2651]

Does the laptop already come with an M.2 mounting screw inside or do I have to purchase one myself?

[@_tym3k]

in my case it came with one

[@user-se8mx1zs4w]

Does corsair ddr5 4800mhz vangeance type supports?

[@tjhana]

Yes you can upgrade to DDR5 64GB 5600MHZ.

[@yarikdanilin9576]

Hello everyone, please tell me, to add an SSD drive, you just need to insert it into the second slot on the right?

[@cerberusx_]

correct.

[@hooplaa3513]

Mine FA507NV-R746K6M-O Is this the same? I really want to know if I can add 1 more ssd

[@cerberusx_]

yes, it's the same.

[@Itsyesfahad]

I have the same laptop with RTX 3050 Ti and Ryzen 6800H 144Hz 2022 version I have a qaustion does it support Gen 4 M.2?

[@cerberusx_]

yours is only gen 3. you can use gen 4 SSD but you're just wasting your money because the laptop won't be able to utilize gen 4 speed. you will stuck at gen 3 speed.

[@Itsyesfahad]

@@cerberusx_ Thank you !

[@W.A.S.D1]

Hallo, I am raading in the comments that ddr5 5600mhz should be possible. I want to pu in 2x16gb ddr5 5600 in my asus tuf a15 rtx 4070 with ryzen 9 9740hs. Right now, there is only 2x8 gb 4800mhz in it

[@cerberusx_]

yes it is possible, your processor supports 5600mhz ddr5. the 7735hs doesn't support 5600mhz. the only reason why asus put a 4800mhz in your laptop is because the price is cheap.

[@maleiaty]

You didn't even bother to take the motherboard out of the chasis or even touch on the screen.

[@dahygamal8089]

Thanks a lot Does the default memory is ddr4 or ddr5?

[@sanada-vkk3315]

Hey brother I'd like to ask. If this laptop can handle 64GB RAM ddr5 32x2 dual channel? Right now i just installed one channel 32GB ram.

[@sanada-vkk3315]

Will it able to take another 32GB and make it into 64GB? Cause i wanted it to be dual channel instead single channel.

[@kH088_2]

@@sanada-vkk3315 Or you can always "downgrade" to a dual channel 32 gigabyte configuration. One thing every geek should know is to get dual rank modules too. It may not be a huge difference, but a dual rank RAM stick is 5 to 7% faster than a single rank version. Whichever way you choose to go, always get the sticks from the same vendor. If you're going with Corsair, SK Hynix, Samsung, or whatever, make sure that they're both Corsair, Samsung and so forth. There are tiny timing differences that may lead to a less-than-optimal performace if you get two technically identical sticks from two different manufacturers. Don't forget to get the EXPO versions for your AMD systems and your XMP counterparts for Intel-based systems, otherwise you'll get a blue screen of death!

[@tjhana]

Yes you can. I just upgrade mine to 64GB 5600MHz

[@TLOZ1986]

​@@tjhanaWith 5600 Hz or 4800?

[@tjhana]

@@TLOZ1986 It's 5600 MHz. here's the part number. it's crucial memory. just google this. CT32G56C46S5.C16D

Does the samsung 990 pro with heatsink fit?

[@stevesutton1052]

Did you find out ?

[@_KOPOTbIWKA_]

same question

[@lnwtinnapat8257]

Does this model have WiFi intelligence?

[@Jared_Is_Near]

What even is that?

[@adwaidnair2018]

Is it possible to apply liquid metal thermal paste in this laptop.Can u please reply me fast as possible.

[@kH088_2]

@adwaidnair2018 - From my personal experience with a similar laptop model, you can always use liquid metal on a laptop; in fact, given that they don't have IHS - the little metal cover thing on top of most available CPUs - using liquid metal is easier on a laptop CPU than on a desktop version. Furthermore, there is no need to delid the processor, and current laptops run HOT and in a rather small and poorly ventilated environment, so using liquid metal is preferable, but you'll need to take a few precautions: 1) get conformal coating (thermalgrizzly's TG conformal coating) and apply it on all the nearby resistors that might be exposed to liquid metal in case of a spill-over, and 2) replace all of the crappy thermal pads with COMPUTERSYSTEMS K5-PRO or UPSIREN U6 Pro. Thermal putty is infinitely superior to thermal pads in both contact and heat dissipation. I hope this helps

[@adwaidnair2018]

ya thanks

[@ahmedmonster9912]

Can I add m.2 gen3?

[@thew3ld]

yes you can.

[@diditgunawan4805]

What is the maximum RAM upgrade?

[@cerberusx_]

64gb. not 32gb as advertised by Asus. the processor supports up to 64gb of ram and AMD confirmed that.

[@CANERCED]

Is it total 32gb ram or 2x32gb=64 gb total ram ?

[@madao21km]

32gb

[@dudecoomhard8594]

Is the cpu welded to the laptop ?

[@Lspixel]

All laptops come with a soldered cpu . this method has been used for years to reduce costs.

[@lordgains3317]

I just upgraded my ssd on this with a Crucial P3 Plus SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 Internal SSD and it wont show up!

[@Lspixel]

Do you see it on bios menu?

[@stevesutton1052]

Anyone tried to fit sn850x with heatsink in it?

[@cerberusx_]

by just looking at the size of the heatsink, I can tell it won't fit. most laptops won't be able to use SSD with heatsink thicker than 3mm. SSDs with heatsink are created for desktop PC.

[@NickmannedOne]

There are some copper thin heatsinks. Look for them. They are possible to fit in closed laptop envoironment.
