MSI GF65 Thin Upgrades SSD And RAM

[@JLee.3D]

Laptop not turning on after battery was unplugged/plugged is a feature to protect from static electricity. It will reset after plugging the adaptor and pressing the power button for 20 seconds (depends on how the manufacturer implements this). Anyways, the way you handled the upgrade was awesome enough if not perfectly executed. You definitely followed some precautions like removing the batteries. And if a heatsink is provided, always make use of it as electronics will degrade over time due to heat... so the heatsink will always help whether you are gaming or not, as long as it will still fit in the laptop (profile is not so tall to create a bulge in the casing/cover).

Hey dude. Just wanted to say thanks. I was watching you on my tablet as I worked on my GF65 Thin. Ram installed and working great. I had a heck of a time putting the back cover on properly over the molded ports but i did it after 5 minutes of WTF'ing.

Just got a GF65 myself, I didn't let the first boot go without doing a memory and SSD upgrade on it myself (laptop is for my wife, I got a G15 with 5900/3070). First boot also required power, and took a good second to post with the new memory. It's been booting fine without since and super quick. This is a great laptop for the price.

[@isaacrosales1887]

FYI, that "factory seal" its not a "Warranty void if removed" seal, what it means is that factory approved to be shipped and has not been tampered with since shipped. In case you think that you upgraded your PC and warranty is voided that is NOT the case, just make sure to keep your factory hardware in case you need to test and discard 3rd part hardware issue, if the issue is still present you can still contact MSI.

[@TylerPotter]

That is awesome info that for the in site! Thanks for the view!

[@toneblev9328]

It's like putting a timing cover on bro, screw size doesn't matter! But seriously, I'm a gearhead and computer geek. You did a great job. The "heatspreader" you put on the m.2 drive, helps to spread the heat better. You had 3 chips that heat up, putting that heatspreader on helps to evenly pull the heat from all the chips and spread it to a larger surface. The not booting up til it was plugged in was already explained below. But this is also an old video, I just wanted to give you props because I wasn't sure myself of what needed to be taken apart as I strictly work on desktops. I would have left the top part on and probably broke sh!t!! lol

I watched another video, apparently after you unplug the battery and everything, when you are done and you put the battery back you are supposed to plug your charger into the laptop to jump start it.

[@sizweml]

Great video. I will be upgrading my MSI G75 Thin. I also hope it has 2 ssd slots. I usually mark on a piece of paper to place the screws so they dont mix up. On some laptops the screws are not the same length and thickness. Secondly remove the cmos battery and press and hold the power button for 20 sec. I was told that prevents the delicate parts from static electricity.

[@TylerPotter]

Those are both great tips! Thanks for the view!

[@nicholaswilliams2641]

My god… I literally cut the video off after the RAM install and thought “I can figure the rest out”… it didn’t boot back up after. Then I plugged it in, as you did, and it was fine after that haha.

​@@TylerPotterI am thinking of buying a decent used 1 for around £450 but it is just the base model... 8gb ram/ 256gb . I want to upgrade to 16gb/512gb is it worth it ?

[@gaving7095]

Great video - many thanks - Keep up the good work. Please add links to the upgrade parts you bought in the description :-) Probably I'm an idiot but it took me a while to feel confident that these systems use 2280 (size) NVMe's. I'm still confused whether a heat pad should be used between the SSD & motherboard, though. Having a drive which came with a heat spreader for its other side is probably a good thing. For what its worth, I don't think the hinge cover *needs* to be removed for this upgrade. I plan on not removing mine because it looks like a right fiddly b***h to get off & even more so to get back on. Particularly good to know about the PSU needing to be connected before it would boot :-O That would sure make me sick XD There's a tiny (reset?) switch underneath which can be pressed with a paper clip or similar - or possibly by hand even when the bottom case is off. In only 1 of the 5 KZbin vid's I've watched on this model, they pressed it. Maybe that would have made it boot 1st time without the PSU? Anyway not only was this vid the top KZbin result, it has excellent A/V quality, a clear & charismatic host who manages to be both not an IT nerd but handles the components with care & gets the job done well so I thought I'd give this longer-than-usual comment :-) Again, many thanks, man!

[@TylerPotter]

Thank you so much for the view, time for the comment and the kind words, it means a lot! That reset switch would have been great to know about! lol See below for the parts installed.

Hello there! Just a question. I was thinking about buying a second SSD drive for my MSI GF65 Thin Gaming Laptop. It has 16 GB of crucial ram, and 512Gb of SSD. I was thinking of maybe getting between 1 and 4 Tb of space, or maximumly, 2Tb. I also saw you yourself had to watch a couple of videos to get the extra space ready by formatting the SSD, and hope maybe you can help me with that in the future if you can. I was be careful with this one, cause I got it at a super duper good price and know if i wanted to get another 16Gb of ram, it'll have to be crucial since I am kind of on a budget, haha. Hope you can help me out though! 😁

@@TylerPotter That does make you wonder, doesn't it? Most laptops these days appear to come with small amount of RAM and equally small SSD, where for gamers, an upgrade is a necessity rather than a luxury. At the same time, if you upgrade through the vendor, they charge you 2-5 times more for the upgraded SSD/RAM you are getting. So, most people end up upgrading themselves - thereby voiding the warranty. In other words - it all feels a tad like a scam, as far as warranty is concerned.

Does this remove warranty.

[@Golden-Egg]

If changed 500 ssd will it remove windows 10 11v?

[@TylerPotter]

If you replace the original SSD it would remove windows since it is stored on that SSD.

[@lehfavaro]

[@twistbuzz1505]

Just added an m. 2 drive myself and my laptop won't power on

[@TylerPotter]

I had to plug mine into the power supply to get it to boot up

How much Internal Memory can this laptop handle? I don't mean RAM, I mean actual internal storage. Can I put in 2 sticks of 512GB SSD?

[@TylerPotter]

Yes I am running the stock 512GB SSD and a 1TB SSD, both seem to work great. Thanks for the view!

[@LunarAntic]

@@TylerPotter so I can put two sticks of 1 tb SSD in this bitch!?!!

[@TylerPotter]

I would think so lol Mine is very happy with my 1.5TB (512GB and 1TB) total at this time.

[@LunarAntic]

@@TylerPotter ooohoohoohooo...

[@0DRK30]

Is it a 3500mb or 1800mb for the ssd

[@TylerPotter]

"Sequential read/write speed up to 3500/3000 MB/s, Performance may vary based on system hardware & configuration" This is the info off of the listing for the SSD. Thanks for the view!

[@realitycheck1086]

@@TylerPotter I used command prompt - winsat disk -ran -write -drive C (and later for drive F - new ssd). For C drive - the speed was 256mb/s - and for the new SSD, it was 483mb/s.

[@finlaygaming08]

Can we put 3200mhz ram?? Please reply

[@TylerPotter]

I'm not sure I just knew the 2666 would work. You might try contacting MSI to see if it would work. Thanks for the view!

[@Jake_PAFC]

do you have to remove the battery?

[@TylerPotter]

No battery stayed in but I did unplug it while working on it. Thanks for the view!

[@Jake_PAFC]

@@TylerPotter Thank you! Great video. Very helpful! 🙂

[@TylerPotter]

Thank you!

[@katlakoushik1440]

Can we add 2tb hdd? Anyone please answer

[@TylerPotter]

I can't verify but I would think as long as it was the correct specs a 2tb SSD would work, you may want to send a message to MSI to make sure it is compatible. Thanks for the view!

[@FernandoGonzalez-mo5il]

I have the same laptop, I'm wondering what's the top limit for the frequency on the memory RAM? I mean I could install a memory above 2666 Mhz ?

[@TylerPotter]

That is a good question I'm not sure, I would shoot MSI support a email and see if they can verify. Thanks for the view!

[@FernandoGonzalez-mo5il]

@@TylerPotter Thanks for the reply and nice video mate!!

[@gphsjsh3593]

Can i install a laptop hdd ?

[@TylerPotter]

You could add an external hdd but this chassis will only fit a ssd

[@curlyhairdudeify]

Me looking at the MacBook prices, and how they are non memory upgradeable... no, thank you.

[@TylerPotter]

Yeah I was pretty happy how easy it was to upgrade. Thanks for the view!

[@overlorddoge1952]

And my laptop won’t turn on now

[@TylerPotter]

Mine would not boot up after also, I had to plug into the power supply before it would turn on. Thanks for the view!

Useless demonstration of battery disconnection.

[@TylerPotter]

Yeah your totally correct I thought I was playing it safe though. Thanks for the view!

[@Shooter-zy2oe]

It's not a ssd it's a m.2 drive

[@TylerPotter]

Thanks for the correction and view!

[@P4ND3R550N]

And what do you think an m.2 drive are? A harddrive? This is an ssd. Ssd comes as s-ata, m-sata, m.2 nvme, pci-express.
