Today I've upgraded the RAM of my Asus Vivobook X512DA with the help of your tutorial! God bless you, Mr. Cadillac! And all of you here!
I just want to thank you for such a great explanatory video. Seldom have I seen technicians explaining the whole process of repairing/upgrading a laptop so patiently and clearly. Not only that, but I also feel the need to mention that English is my second language, and I was able to understand every single word you said, which is something I usually struggle with.
I recently acquired a more modern version of an ASUS laptop, and your video fully helped me to upgrade its RAM and SSD, for which I also thank you.
Greetings from Mexico.
Great tutorial. Very useful to know about the leads for the 2.5 drive as I was considering just adding one of those. Thank you vetry much.
Best Tutorial I've seen about ASUS ram memory andNVMe upgrade. Thank you a lot!. Greetings from Mexico.
Just happened to stumble across this channel and I have to say after watching a few of your videos, you've earned a subscriber!! Keep it up! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thank you very much. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. Dale
Thanks I'll give it a try ! Great demonstration.
Awesome tutorial! Thank you very much!
Thanks I was scared to disassemle my laptop, but finally did it with your help. I was easy 😅
That's a very great video. Gives me confidence to upgrade my ssd!
Fantastic tutorial! I just upgraded my NVMe to 2TB thanks to your video. Thank you so much for showing how it's done.
Thx for watching, glad it helped
@@CadillacComputerCenter does the unit on this video originally came with ssd or a hard drive?
Very helpful, thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I bought my Asus Vivobook a year ago and it came with 8gb ram (4+4) and the Asus website is not helpful. Probably because they'd rather I buy a new laptop every year instead of upgrading my ram. This video will have saved me nearly $300 since now I feel confident that I can do this myself. My next project is recovering files from three old hard drives.
Thank you this magnificent tutorial
Thank's for the video bro...great information, I'm subscribing your channel...
Happy thanksgiving Mr. Dale
Happy Thanksgiving my friend!
Thank you for your video sir
Thank you for the help amigo. I bought the same exact laptop in November. Just upgraded the RAM. Easy peezy but I'm so gentle it took me a while to pop open the lid haha.
Good job!
How much RAM upgrade did you do? Would this work with 4GB soldered, and upgrade the other one to 16GB so i would get 20GB?
@@wealthlegendYes
Great video thanks a lot ;)
Thank You!
I am a person that knows not one thing about computers, and wow, you helped me a lot lol from the program you use as well as just every step of the way. I watched this video about ten times to do it, but it’s done lol I have progressive ms and my memory is 100% horrible lol but I gave you some views lol and I’m gonna share this video on my channel as well to help other. Thank you very much
So glad it helped you. Dale
I find this laptop easy to service. Though I've kind of janked a 4 TB HDD in there that is too thick (15mm thick)... I just left out a couple of screws and let it bulge! Well worth it for that HDD. I also upgraded the ram to 12GB.
Still using my Asus Vivobook 15 X512FL with MX250 Nvidia happily, 3 years old laptop, want to upgrade to new laptop with better Nvidia but not urgent still can go few years, instead upraded ram and gonna upgrade with new SSD to improve it, best video to learn how to do these with Vivobook 15's this segment, thank you!
just upgraded my 512GB SSD to 1TB crucial P5 Plus, works well for now recognized it!
nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the tutorial! I change my RAM to a Vengeance 16gb and the ssd to NVMe M.2 Samsung 980 pro 1tb. Cloning the ssd went well, but when I boot up the laptop it gave me an error "inaccessable drive" then Windows restarted itself and gave me the option to start it up in Safe Mode. Which went well and after that everything is working fine. Bit weird but it works! Thank you!
How much did it cost

Great video. 1. Could you please post the make and model of the USB enclosure adapter? 2) Very curious if their is a penalty in performance for not using the same memory size as the soldered onboard? I see individuals using a 32 Gb stick as well. Any feedback would be great, and enjoy the videos!
Copy This;: Awesome tutorial! Thank you very much! ;)
happy thanks giving mr. dale i have lenovo ideapad 15ikb and i want to disable built in battery but i tried fn+s+v but it did not work i wish if you help me !
Thank you so much! Can you please tell the exact names of parts and cable for installing 2,5 sdd/hdd in this laptop? In russia it's quite hard to find, especially when you don't know what it is
The more I look at these the happier u am that my F512DA-EB55 already has the caddy. Does the kit Crucial offers work in those Asus X512,, or Acer Aspire 3 models that don't come with an HDD?
Also, what speed was the RAM included?one also has 2400 on-board but came with 2666 SODIMM so that's what I ordered. No problems so far, but would 2400 be better?
How do you add a 2nd HDD/SSD on that empty tray? Do you have any videos on the channel with that?
I followed these instructions exactly using the Macrium Reflect 7 software and the computer will not reboot with the cloned drive like yours did. Any ideas why?
What you opinion on that some manu like Asus build machines with both SATA SSD and NVME interface? Is that good or bad? Or should they stick with dual NVME setup?
Awesome Tutorial my man, but I wanted to ask if it is worth upgrading your RAM to 12GB, or will the standard 8GB configuration work just fine even as the laptop age? Cheers!!!
I'd say either upgrade to 16GB or leave it at 8GB because RAMs don't work well together and achieve optimal performance when they are not equal in storage.
It's possible to replace the HDD? for some reason the storage is damaged, the SSD it's ok but the D: driver doesn't work anymore
How do i find that crucial stick idk if i need a new one because im upgrading ram please tell me
tengo una vivibook_asuslaptop X512DA
le puedo poner el modulo de 16 y cual seria
Hello Sir , I want to upgrade my ram and i am confused with compatiblity , is single channel and dual channel matters in case of compatiable hardware?
I have a question sir. If my model came with 1 TB HDD... Can I add an NVME?
Hi! I am wondering how high of an ssd can you install in this device? also i currently have 8gb of ram in my device that came with it! Is it ok to add another 8gb to it as well?
Encontré el modelo de mi laptop, próximamente actualizacion de mi laptop! :0
Hola, sabes la capacidad máxima de ram upgradeable??
@@malenaa8488 Conmigo es 20 de ram!
@@Eldelabarba821 Muchas gracias!!
que modelo tienes y cual ram le pusiste
Great video! I just put in a 1TB drive (Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SN570 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive SSD), and 8 G RAM (TEAMGROUP Elite 8GB Single DDR4 2400MHz PC4-19200 CL16 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.2V SODIMM 260-Pin Laptop Notebook PC Computer Memory Module Ram Upgrade). For some reason, the 'puter's not seeing the RAM....? (There was no RAM module in the spot, unlike what you saw here... ) The device still shows it has the onboard 4GBs of RAM, when, theoretically, it should show 12GB. I wonder if you have any thoughts on this?
Hmmm, not sure. Make sure the ram is seated properly. The stick could be bad, or it is not compatible for some reason.
Is there any chance a 32 GB stick of same speed laptop RAM would work in this machine ?
Review acer aspire 3(2030) *upgrade*
asus vivobook flip 14 tm420ia-ec056t about this laptop is the RAM soldered or not.
Is it compatible to have m.2 and hdd together in that model?
Sorry didn't work for me. The model of Asus is X202e and it has a standard 1Tb hard drive. It was installed as legacy in BIOS and I cloned to an usual SSD 2.5" Any suggestion?
There is a possibility for 2,5 SSD to see. U need a SSD-Adapter to Port. The SSD you lie into the frame only.
how do you remove the lock on the middle
you said at the start you explained to the customer about the advantages and disadvantages to making it 20gb, what would the disadvantage be?
Hi. 4gb onboard, and adding one more 4gb stick in empty slot would get you true dual channel, as long as speed is the same. Being this is not a gaming laptop, it really doesn't matter. Some people just want more ram, 20gb is still better than just 4gb.
question. as a vivobook owner, i notice my laptop has the same slot next to the battery, with that same sata connector right behind the nvme slot. would i be able to use both? for instance, could i boot from nvme, with a 2.5 sata ssd as an internal slave? and if so, how would i set it to slave? i know older drives would have the flip switch for it, but i don't believe i've seen those switches on newer drives, ssds specifically.
from bios, you can select which drive to boot from
You can buy a connector cable (Asus only provided slot. But to connect HDD/ SSD you need a connector cable) and connect your newly bought HDD/ SSD and format it and use and D or E drive.
After adding new HDD if it's not booting up normally, simply go to bios and select the boot from (primary) as Nvme.
That's it.
If you have trouble with bios while changing, there are like 100000 videos of those on RUclips.
is it posable to upgrade the touch pad to one with the fingerprint reader?
Hi..I dont believe so. .I've never attempted that though. You can get one of these however, www.amazon.com/Fingerprint-PQI-Matching-Biometric-Security/dp/B06XG4MHFJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=laptop+fingerprint+reader+usb&qid=1607562423&sprefix=laptop+fingerprint+reader&sr=8-3
How long does it takes before the battery runs out when watching offline videos only?
I have the same model and if I start with a fully charged battery I can work off line for 2-3 hours depending on what I'm doing.
Hi, can the asus vivobook 15 ram be upgraded? To 32gb? I only have 8gb and its really not enough.
Según la oficial de Asus solo es expandible a 12gb el problema es que Nose si es una máxima de 12gb ola suma de la ram integrada y la externa debe dar 12gb
@@isaacslender826 He actualizado a 16g y funciona perfecto.
@@studioonewrld el mismo modelo vivobook 15 x512D?
Yo sabía que solo se puede hasta un máximo de 12gb
My Asus Vivobook X512DA (FP5) Ryzen 7 has 12 Gb RAM. What is the max RAM supported in this model?
yo tengo una igual cual le pusiste
You can take out the 8gb stick and put in a 16gb for a max of 20GB!
El mío es un modelo x512D y tiene las mismas especificaciones ryzen 5 3500u y 4/4 de ram No removible/Removible puedo actualizar esa de 4 a una de 16 como muestra el vídeo ? Ya que en Asus te dicen que hasta un máximo de 12gb.
si pudiste?
Yo también tengo esa duda 😂
Will this method work for the X512DA ryzen 5 3500u?
yes, it’s the one he’s using
Is it Dale or Dell ??
Hi. It is Dale.
HI! I updated my ram. But I'm now stuck on the Bios Utility no matter what I do. Any advice?
Did you use same speed ram as what was already in it?
Also, make sure module is seated in the slot properly.
@@CadillacComputerCenter I tried to go with larger ram, but when that didn't work, I just put the original back in. I'm going back in and trying to re-seat it. No luck as of yet! But I'm holding out hope!
@@rachaelalethea update?
@@legandable I wasn't forceful enough with the ram stick apparently. Was so scared I was going to break something! It's back to running now!
What year is your laptop ?
It was new, out of the box at time of filming.
Do you guys think that upgrading this laptop from 8gb to 20gb ram is worth it?
Ofcourse it is the more the merrier
You can't just leave the 512g. In line for 1.5 tb?
in vivobooks there is 8gb soldered on motherboard at 3200mhz. You put 16gb at 2400, now you have 24gigs at 2400mhz. Better get a 16 or 32gb stick at 3200mhz, that is the max ram supported on this machine
Not on all of them. I have Vivobook 15, and it's 4gb soldered, 4gb removable/expandable...
yes, thats right, and again you can put 32gb stick in the dimm. In vivoboks there is cpu type SoC where the chipset is in SoC
@@vladimirzahov4677 On mine the manufacturer says maximum 12gb for this computer. Both on their website, and in an answer to a customer question on a website. Do you think I can use 4gb soldered and still add a 16gb to make 20gb total? Crucial website says that would work, so now I'm confused...
Yes you can. Is your laptop with i5 or i7 10th gen cpu? If yes, then it supports up to 64 gb ddr4 or lpddr4 but you have only one dimm on motherboard so u can add up to 32gb stick in it. The chipset and cpu are both on one SoC that means u have no problem to add all supported memory
@@vladimirzahov4677 AMD Ryzen 5 Mobile 3500U is my CPU, just bought a month a go, made in April 2020...
