Hey guys, just launched our new website about laptop upgrades. Cool templates, help you upgrade/swap or even repair your laptop with mapped motherboard images.
Also added a request form, so if any laptop is missing, just ask and try to add them as soon as possible. ;) Reach us @ bit.ly/34k1SLL
hello do you happen to know the size of the thermal pads on this laptop ?
Man thank you for this Video, I have had my G512 for two years and it’s been great. Happy that I am able to upgrade it.
I just bought mine, this video whitout a doubt and despite of lack of audio were more helpful than others. Thanks!
Hi mate! You mixed memory modules with different speeds, 3200 and 2666!. Maybe the brand doesn't matter much but the speed I think does!!! Thanks for the videos bro.
Yeah I know, it was only for demonstration purpose, that's why I highlight the "default module" at @7:05 so others can get the proper module. ;) Anyhow thanks for the feedback, it will be very useful for the audience.
brand or speed doesnt matter. the system will take the performance from the weakest stick.
Really helpful and concise, Thank You!!
Quality video. No unnecessary sh**. 10/10
Thanks a ton!! Really helped me with replacing my wifi card
I’m having that issue right now with my rog strix, did you replace it with the same wifi card? If not, do you have any advice on what wifi card to use?
Neat! Thanks for the video mate
What is your version name ?it seems it has a good cooling system
Is it li or lu or something else?
Can we add a 1tb ssd to a system with stock 512 gb ssd ?! Is there anything such that the upgrading ssd should be smaller than the stock?!
You can even go to 8TB. There is no such thing as storage "capacity" limit. ;)
I couldn't find GL503VS Tutorial. Please upload tutorial how to disassembly ASUS ROG GL503VS (FAN, HEATSINK, THERMAL PASTE, ETC) Thank You..
Hello sir, thanks for sharing this experience, kindly asking can i add a sata SSD in the bottom left corner of the laptop ? at your left hand at 3:47 ? and use some sort of adapter to convert sata to M.2 ?
You have three m.2 slot (all of them are PCIe). Those cannot accept SATA modules, so "only" NVMe m.2 SSD will be accpeted in those.
Such a helpful video stuf on RUclips...🎉❤
Can you upgrade battery?
can you upgrade your graphics card as well?
Such a nice video mate thanks alot
What's the specific model of this? I noticed it has a lot more heatpipes. In some reviews, I commonly see like 2 of them.
Thanks.Will you give me a recommendation for the brand and type of ram (16x2 32gb) and ssd (2tb) which are suitable for the G512LI laptop?
Have you completed these upgrades? what did you go with? did it void any warranty you had
@@mackaldrich4112 i upgraded my RAM, the warranty is still there!
But i dont know about the SSD upgrade
How do I reattach those led flex cables??
Just insert the line back to the slot from top to down. Note the blue colored side is out ( front of you).
I also opened mine and hot stuck here, all fun and easy untill I got to put those flex cables back
I have the G712LW-ES74 model and when I go to task manager it says I got 4 RAM slots available but from pics floating around theres only 2 on the back like this one. Are there 2 more when you flip the board over or nah?
2 physical slot is in the machine. What you see in task manager is the potential, what the CPU could handle. (but no slots to utilize it)
I always wondered what are these two empty slots next to the Wi-Fi card and ssd
Well extra slots for NVMe SSDs. This machine can holds a lot of SSD :D
@@MakaiTechReviews oh nice I was gonna add another drive
can u tell which one should I go for ASUS ROG Strix G15 G512 i7 RTX2060 (super) or ASUS TUF A15 ryzen9 RTX 2060? It would be a great help.
Depends what you want to do with it. TUF is way cheaper than the G15. ROG series comes a better cooling solution, better overall build quality and the option to run RAID 0 (3 NVMe drive slots). TUF series are still a good purchase imho, but it has no liquid metal CPU cooling paste, and has less heatpipes for better cooling performance. G15 has also better screen quality as well. Don't get me wrong here. TUF Gaming is still a decent machine. If you play/browsing and so on, TUF is still a capable machine to do such things. It's just "less premium".
@@MakaiTechReviews I'm planning to buy asus rog g17 with 512ssd. Can I add an extra 512GB SSD to make it 1tb ssd.
tbh id go the ryzen it will run much cooler
This is probably late, but you prob should have gone with the ryzen bc the i7 in my system that has an rtx2070 gets HELLA bottlenecked
@@skizley999 yeap ryzen was the smart choice I did choose ryzen ✌️
hello does anyone know the size of the thermal pads on this laptop ?
hello friend i have rog g512lw and it's new about 5 days and when i play warzone my cpy is 92 and gpu 89 and i dont know why, and i have win10 basic, and eather can use max rendiment of baterry
I have the same problem but try on silence mode
any advice on where i can get a new battery for it?
Which brand's ssd comes with the laptop ?
Usually Samsung, but depends on the region.
How would you even install a PCIe/USB type wifi card?
That is just the protocol(interface type), not a full size what you put into the desktop. Check Intel site for reference.
@@MakaiTechReviews Oh so those little antenna and the metal bit are actually really small? they aren't supposed to poke out the side of the laptop/computer?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For the os drive, can I use up to 4 tb nvme. From what I've heard, the OS drive can go up to 2tb.
There is no limit in terms of storage size
Thank gentlemen...❤
Just destroyed my motherboard! I watched another video for Asus Rog Strix G531 which obviously does not have the RGB connectors, so after removing the screws, I just lifted the cover! Result: The right cable came off ok but the left one removed the connector from the motherboard!! Can it be repaired or is it garbage now? I'm so frustrated!
Can i put turbo boost on the processor in that motherboard?
i broke my led flex cable i need to buy a new one but i dont know how many pins they are.
do you know how many pins they?
@6:28 - you can count the pins, (LB R socket) 6 pins ;)
@@MakaiTechReviews Thank you
@@MakaiTechReviews Do you know if this voids the warranty when this breaks?
Thank you
So it is not needed to remove RGB cable if we want add just only new M.2 SSD? Right?
No, you don't need to, but don't try to lift up that much otherwise, you can break the strip. You have to rotate the bottom case just a bit to gain access to the m.2 slot.
Hey bro, how much RAM can I put on this laptop? I have the same device but I need upgrade it soon....
64GB (2x32)
Hi,
ssd pci 4 si compatible with this laptop? or only pci 3 ?
Thanx.
google says "PCIe 3.0 x4 refers to a Gen 3 expansion card or slot with a four-lane configuration". and in the video it states "pcie Gen3x4" so I believe just gen 3, but i do not know for sure as I've heard that they are both backwards and forwards compatible and if they are cross compatible I do not know as to how much performance you would loose if any at all. I would personally stick to gen 3
Thanks for the video, i have a question,
which is the maximum installable memory of the ssd?
You mean SSD capacity? There is no such thing, the notebook can handle all of them.
@@MakaiTechReviews Really all of the next gen gaming laptops packing UEFI or just this particular model?.
@@revanvonheaven8270 All of them. The only limitation can be is the physical limit like drive height. Large capacity m.2 SSD are usually 2 layer, and slim laptops have not much of a height space.
Hi sir i have same model i need some help i want upgrade the ram can you tell me 32 or 64 gb ram best for gaming
32GB should be sufficient for any type of games. Anything above I advise only for content creation (huge photoshop files, etc)
@@MakaiTechReviews thank you so much sir for your kind information i appreciate 😊😊🫰🫰
Will the LED still work after you remove the cable?
Without the cable plugged in, I'm afraid they won't.
@@JackMaslovCZLive how do you plug it back in
@@beandawae just insert it again and lock it with the pin
Can we upgrade up to 64 Gb of RAM by putting 32Gb RAM in each Slot ?
Yes
@@jonathanmedina2982 Have you successfully checked ? and Tried ?
No you can't unfortunately, the laptop specifically states its upgradable up to 32 gb of ram
Hey, You did it?
You can and the device will see all 64GB. The cpu and chipset is capable to handle 64GB but no more. (Tested)
Thank you, I have a question. Can I put a 2.5" HDD hard drive on the slot next to the battery? Maybe using an adapter
You can only install nVME m.2 storage drives.
@@rx_ddy TYSM
I have questions, why your g512 battery is 66wh im search information and it have 48wh in wed , i think 48wh is very bad so i have difficult choice
Is it possible to replace just the touch pad?
I have Asus Rog Strix G15 G512LU. i7-10750H,GTX 1660 Ti
I want to know if this laptop can support a maximum of 32GB or 64GB Memory. As it is not specifically mentioned anywhere.
I can add Hard HDD 2TP on the Motherboard in addition m.2 NVME 512 SSD?
Great Video, I have a question, Recently my adapter has been playing up My laptop says it is 'Plugged in' but the percentage is going down. Should I get a new adapter and if so should I get the same one or should I replace the battery?
Is this happen when the laptop is already full? If that is the case, it is normal, and don't let the battery overcharge, or overheat, it is a safety feature. But if the battery is constantly (below 85%) no matter if it is plugged in this can be several issues. 1. charge regulator in the battery or 2. the charger got degraded over time (highly unlikely). My best guess is you are playing in a hot environment, a high-demand program running during charging and the device (also the battery) gets very hot and the battery safety feature kick in.
@@MakaiTechReviews It's the same laptop as the one in this video so realistically it should be able to have the adapter in the laptop when I'm gaming constantly. When you plug it in, the light that usually comes on above the keyboard oesn't come on and you have to fiddle with for it to turn on (charge up) It's on suddenly started happening
@@DavidWilliamss You can also maybe clean the contacts (if not did yet) Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the contact. If you are lucky it is only dirt inside the connector. If you are unlucky, might be the DC plug in the laptop got loose and need to resolder back to the motherboard. (dont think thats the case, cause as you mentioned sometimes it is still charging, so most likely only dirt)
Where is the CMOS/BIOS Battery??
Yes..
Did you find it? Is it on the bottom of the board?
How can I reset bios password on this thing? I cant find nothing... help!
I bought asus rog strix g15 G512LI-HN094T can i upgrade in this model
Is it possible to change the fans, and if it is where can I find ones that match the ones on the laptop?
What screwdriver was used?
Hi.. very nice and detailed video man..just 1 quick question.. all three of the m.2 slots are only nvme ? And is there a way to put a 2.5" hard drive is this machine ? Your help will be much appreciated
Hi, yes all 3 slots are m.2 NVMe slots. As for 2.5, Nah you can't. There is no SATA ribbon connector on the motherboard. :S
@@MakaiTechReviews thanks a lot man
If you tell me in this laptops we can put hard disk or not
Actually you can't
what is the maximum ram i have this model g512LI-HN0094T core i5 it gtx 1650ti it comes with 8 gb 2933mhz sodimm ddr4
If you remove the stock RAM, your maximum capacity will be 64GB (2x32GB modules)
What version is this? G512LV LU ?
I have a question for the G512LI what is the battery as in for example 48Wh ?
Hi! I have a question about this laptop, what is SSD inside the laptop? Is it still the intel 660p?
Yes,
Sweet song
Do we have to remove the battery before upgrade or would it be enough to disconnect?
Enough to disconnect.
@@MakaiTechReviews Thanks bro
Do you still have this model around?
Great video @MakaiTechReviews, by a chance, did you change the thermal interface? Asus promised to apply thermal grizzly conductonaut on all Intel 10th gen CPU's in April 2020, I'm wondering if they really did with this particular model?
That is correct. All Intel Based (starting from 10th gen) ROG notebooks have LM (but only on the CPU). GPU still has regular thermal paste tho.
Can we change hhd?
Does anyone know where I can purchase the speaker connector that goes on the board ? (Circular antenna connector for the speakers )
can anyone tell me how to reconnect those led-flex cables? dont wanna mess it up to be honest 😕😕
It's Seem look same on battery G512LI but different voltage 11.1v. If im using higher voltage to 15v from 11.1v it's safe?
No, not safe at all!
Thanks
I have a kingstone 480 ssd 2.5" Sata 3 , can i add it to my Rog strix g15 ?. Or it s just m2 fitting?
does rog 512Li support nvme 3*4 and 3200mhz ram?
on the 1st slot its a 3200mhz and u installed 2666 in another slot
Hey there well if u have amd cpu then u can otherwise in intel cpu u can put ram of upto 2933mhz
does it support type c charging?
What's the max storage?
There is no such thing as "maximum storage". The currently available Nvme drives will fit and work (2280 size). But the capacity is not limited by anything. If I can recall the maximum right now on the market are 8TB modules. ;)
Is hdd upgrade avaliable in this laptop ?
No, only m.2 SSD. (3 slots total)
@@MakaiTechReviews I get that there is no connector for an HDD, but is there enough space for 2,5'' next to those two m.2 slots?
@@kopabs no, you can't mount 2,5" SDD or HDD. It's old school already. High speed transfer data is the future. But you can use an external SSD or HDD if you want, on USB- A ports.
Hey I was just wondering, if i wanna put an extra ssd in does it matter what slot it goes in?
Hola , quiero comprar el esquema de la placa madre. ¿Dónde te puedo contactar?
do I need a heatsink for the ssd upgrade?
what are the specs of that machine?
Hey dude, really helpful video, just wondering if the procedure for adding SSD drives to the other M.2 slots is the same as inserting/removing the original drive. Also, will adding SSD's require thermal paste etc. for cooling them? Thanks again.
Adding extra m.2 is totally the same as the main one. Thermal paste not, but thermal pads are recommended. (But depends on the SSD speed type)
@@MakaiTechReviews Cheers 👍
Can you put 3 970 evo plus or 3 980 evo plus? If yes ? If it ok to raid 3 drives? RAID 0
Well you can set it up to run in RAID0 yes, but honestly there will be several bottlenecks (ports are still max 10Gb, or the CPU will have bottleneck too) and to much risk of data loss if only one of your drive failes.
@@MakaiTechReviews so 3 nvme drives will bottleneck cpu due to pcie lanes?
@@VIn-mx7ke Nah, thats not the case. But what use case scenario can you imagine to have a benefit of 3 super fast SSDs in RAID0 in a laptop? :D For example if you try to copy anything onto the machine write speed will be bottlenecked anyway. 10Gb from USB, and WiFi speed is around 1Gb is you are in a lucky spot. So Write speed already bottlenecked. As for read, well yeah, you can have some gains there but in what use case? Games? Not really. Photo editing? No again. Maybe, just maybe editing absolutelty gigantic RAW video files, but in that case a massive RAM capacity is also needed. :)
one thing I found odd, my task manager in the tab memory (ram) used slots 2 out of 4 (i have 2x 8 GB.). I know for sure I only have seen 2 SODIMM holders. where are the other 2?
The other 2 are your empty SSD Storage Holder, located next to the battery.
Is it me or does the bottom look like it is gonna be hard to cool with a laptop cooling pad?
My laptop cooling pad lifts the front up an inch so it cools well
Bro my asus rog strix's charging adaptor is heating up so much..is it normal??
I just bought the rog strix g15 and the charger doesn’t heat that much
Mine too. don't worry. It won't hurt anything. My battery is still running strong.
I want to choose between HP OMEN 15-EK0002NX 300hz and asus rog strix G513LV 144 Hz 3ms I'm confused between them
Strix G15 is way better than HP Omen, because of the design in Omen, the display tends to divide from the other parts of display in the bottom
Please help me some one selling me a bnew 980 pro but I already have raid 0 on my two drives if I put the 980 pro on the 3rd drive will it be read by the bios or do I need to reinstall everything again?
Thanks for the video,and may i ask,if i just open it and add +1 ssd, I lose the vartanty or not?
Depends on the region you live, but usually you will not void your warranty. Where I live, you have valid warranty, as long as you keep the original parts. (and not cause any damage to your laptop by yourself)
can I put WD Black SN850 1TB M.2 SSD in G512LW?
Yes you can
@@MakaiTechReviews thanks😊
Very helpful video but if i want to upgrade my laptops ram it said it has a max memory of 32gb and it currently has 8gb so can I add a 16gb ram upgrade to it or does it have to be x2 8gb rams
You can even add 2x32GB and still will work and see all 64GB. But as you mentioned the 8+16GB will also work (be sure to have the same speed to avoid compatibility issues), but keep in mind that the dual channel will only work until the 8GB module fills itself. Beyond that, the programs will run in single channel.
@@MakaiTechReviews what do you mean by dual channel
@@wana1291
In a very vague translation:
Dual channel - utlize both memory module at the same time for the program (faster speed).
Single channel - Only one of the memory module is in used for the program (slower speed)
@@MakaiTechReviews so would 2x8gb be better for multi tasking or 1x8 and 1x16

No limit at all! You can even go to 8TB and beyond.
does upgrading ram and storage void the warranty ?
If we are about Asus stock warranty, then it will. But also I bought a warranty from local shop (where I actually bought laptop) for 1 year for any physical damage and the warranty won't be voided if I will upgradethe laptop.
Can you add a 2.5 HDD in it?
No, you can't. There is no SATA connector on the motherboard.
@@MakaiTechReviews i have spare SATA cable, can i still add it though?
Can I put any M.2 module or only gen3x4? Thanks
Most of Nvme m.2 SSDs are also Pcle (gen3x4) but I don't know if a regular one will work. I can recommend this 500GB one from Amazon which on paper, meets all of the requirements and is about as fast or faster than the included SSD. www.amazon.com/dp/B086BGWNY8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_pxj0FbNEG5381

I got rog512lu for 3 months and touchpad is lgging very often, any one can help with this?
Are you running the laptop on battery, or plugged in? If you run on battery, the CPU and GPU might throttle down (due to power save setup). Click on the battery icon and set maximum performance and check if this fix your laggy cursor issue. Usually this can fix it.

Will I lose laptop warranty if I upgrade Ram & storage memory?
yes
You should ask Tech Support of manufacturer. I don't think so.
does this laptop has rgb keyboard?
Yes
Is this G512LW or G512LU?
Looks pretty identical to my LU but can't say for certain
Your video probably answered it for me, but what about the GPU or CPU itself? Are those upgradable?
Usually CPU and GPU are smoldered to the motherboard. Basically you cannot upgrade CPU and GPU, perhaps if you switched out the whole motherboard you could do it but that would be expensive and you would have to replace it all.
