THANK YOU!
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
Bro can u tell what is the prize of motherboard scar 3
Hi what is the exact model of this laptop ?
do you have any idea of what that little pcb on the left side is?
Excellent video. You were the only one on CZcams to actually show how to remove the ribbon cables.
Your video’s still being useful: I opened my machine to replace the ram, and one of the ribbon cables popped loose. I was completely lost about how to put it back until I saw you remove the one. Like that other commenter said, yours is the only video that seems to actually show that part, everybody else just says “mind the cables” and then jump cuts to the cables being removed. I’d noticed the bit that flips up, but I thought that was the side the cable went into, and I was beginning to despair because it wouldn’t go back 😂
great video! real brave pulling that mobo out without wearing a ground on your wrist or ESD smock grounded! side note, 90% of the time just touching a ground prong or metal to discharge your static is wholly sufficient! But great, step by step, no nonsense video of disassembly of the unit!
I could still wear it on my ankle if I had to, but yeah I made sure I was already discharged. :) Thanks
do you know the location of cmos battery?
Best video i have seen, will upgrade SSD`s soon on my G733.
I was a little upset when I opened my 17 to add a 2nd ssd and saw the wifi antenna cables directly on the mobo. Thought the wifi adapter was embedded into the mobo. Excellent video. Thanks.
Where its The bios battery located pls.
This is beautiful. Much soothing to watch because it goes in my head easily. I can remove pretty much anythign watching this video. Mobo and heat pipes Aaah! Not so much
Hi, does anyone know of any notable differences between this teardown on the 17 inch version? thanks
No difference at all.
Just bought this laptop, very useful video.
which thermal paste is on the Vram ? TPutty or an normal paste like Artic Mx 4 ?
Very good disassembly!
You just earned a Sub Bro. One of the best Reviews I have seen in a long time. And Believe me, i have seen them all. Precise, to the point and Well-detailed. You covered all the points most reviewers leave to imagination. Really Thumbs Up!
I have a ASUS ROG STRIX G17 (G713), will this tutorial apply? Secondly, can I use 0.5mm Fujipoly Ultra Extreme (17W/mK) Thermal Pads instead of that Gooey stuff on VRAM and VRMS . . .?
Use K5 PRO, bro. It’s liquid thermal pad.
Yes this still applies. I suggest disabling bitlocker (or write down the key) before any upgrades are performed to prevent my mistake, losing a good chunk of my life memories.
so many people asking about the cmos battery ? everytime i unplug my powercord and wait a litte, systemtime is not sync anymore..
today just opened scar 17 screen and the right hinge sounded crack so can you make a video on the hinges replacement on scar 17 because this video help to only upgrade or replace part from back side only i need to see screen side also.
Thanks for this video!
So for me what kind of thermal paste needs my graph if I don't want the terminal pads?
Hi there. For the SDD upgrade option, the text overlay in your video states that there is plenty of depth to support larger capacity modules such as 4TB or even 8TB, but an Asus support representative got back to me on this today to tell me (and I quote): “As for the storage, the maximum capacity one SSD slot can take is 1TB”, which is disappointing to me that this is the maximum storage capacity for each slot.
Nah, that is simply not correct. The chipset/controller can handle (and will) larger capacity drives. There is simply no limitation in terms of capacity. Sometimes the physical vertical space can limit the storage capacity, because larger drives have 2 layers of NAND chips, and won't fit into the slots. That is not the case with this model and trust me, the laptop can handle large (4TB/8TB drives) as well. I honestly don't know, why ASUS says it support only 1TB, that is pure non-sense.
@@MakaiTechReviews Sure we can upgrade with 8TB just with plug and play ?
Yes, it can handle.
I have 2x2tb drives installed and it works like a charm.
So maybe their customer support is taking the easy way out.
I have the Japan domestic market version of this laptop and it came with 2x2tb SSD's. I assume laptop will do just fine in you were to exchange/add SSDs.
my right speaker grill has been punctured a little. Is there anyway i can replace it?
Will the Samsung 980 PRO SSD with heatsink will fit in this PC ?
im feeling the song.
Hey man could you do a video removing a keycap on this laptop? It will be very helpful
Very usefull video. I had to remove, becuse one of the fans are broke. :D
Glad it helped
Hi please tell me where i Can finde cmos batterie pleeeeeas😭😭 beaucous i cant turn m'y on m'y computer
Thanks for the video can I use 2tb +2tb in total 4tb to upgrade my storage please reply
Yes, you can, you can go even bigger if you will. Just make sure that the physical size of the NVMe is "2280"
Where is the CMOS battery on this model?
Thank you
Im having trouble reconnecting the 4 cables that are disconnected ar 15:50, only the black one clicks. Any ideas?
Hey thanks for the video..but Is it possible to upgrade the cpu or gpu ? Or is it soldered to the motherboard?
How I replace right speaker? Because in my Asus rog g733qs the right speaker produces crackling and popping sound when the volume is more 50%
Can we put traditional grease thermal paste instead of liquid on the time of repasting , will it still work fine
Had to send mine in after two months for repairs....we'll see if I ever get it back.
Brother, does this laptop support 16GB + 8GB DDR4 dual channel configuration? Or Do we have to put ram sticks with same capacity?
Hi, you "don't need to", but still be a better option. If you only put a 8GB module into the machine it will work in a dual channel mode as long as you don't fill up the 8GB stick. If you exceed this, other programs will suffer and run in single channel mode. In most cases probably you won"t overdue this, but if you are a heavy video editor/photoshop user (which usually eats up a ton of memory) i would suggest 16+16 variant. ;)
Hey, I have one of these but missing the power button.. do you know what pins need to be bridged to power it on? or even wear the power button plugs into? thanks
Is the standoff for the 2230 NCMe Drive a Press-fit, Surface Mount or is it removable? Need to know as I put a 2280 NVMe 4TB drive in that space and because of that Standoff, it bends a little.
How to disassembly that keyboard?
i really want to clean some fans and what not but this is one of the more annoying ones ive ever had to open up and work on
So, would it be possible to replace the front panel or is the motherboard soldered to it somehow? I want to get someone to 3D print an entirely translucent front case and replace the original one with it. I am very bad at DIY though. Do you think it would be possible if I ask someone in the repair shop to do? Is there a big risk that they would screw things up or is it a simple proecedure?
Hello... I just wanna ask if this model has a CMOS battery in it? thank youuu
a good video, can you make a video about opening this laptop screen panel? I plan to replace it
Is the GPU set in or soldered in? Goal: Remove the 3070 chip and upgrade to the 3080. Or I gotta do a mobo swap for that?
I just ordered the G733ZW-XS96 with 1tb, what do I have to do to swap it with a 2tb?
Nice vid! Had a few questions if it's alright, I was wondering what the white stuff was surrounding the CPU liquid metal was? Also If I were to replace the GPU paste with liquid metal, should I do what Asus did with the CPU? Thanks
Hi! The White Stuff is a foamy little "gate" to prevent any liquid metal movement outside the CPU die. Liquid metal is conductive, so it can short the circuit if contact with any other components, so obviously it is a precaution step by ASUS. If you plan to do so with the GPU, I suggest using some kind of coating near the GPU die, cause there are some tiny components that can be shorted.
@@MakaiTechReviews thanks!
@@MakaiTechReviews did you re-apply the liquid metal and leave the foamy gate?
I'm thinking of getting a Scar with liquid metal applied, but want to re-apply liquid when needed.
I'm glad they have the black foam padding. I'm trying to find somewhere to purchases that stuff.
I've seen it on the PS5 as well.
Thank you very much! It helped me.
Hello! Im planning to upgrade the ram of my strix scar 15 G33 to 64gb. But i’m not sure which is compatible if a dual rank or single rank
Both will work.
@@MakaiTechReviews thanks! Which one do you recommend? It is a Ryzen 9 and right now it only has 16gb ram
question if i replace the liquid metal on the cpu and gpu with grizzly thermal kryonaut will i also have to replace the thermal pads? if so what size do i buy in thermal pads ?
If the thermal pads not brake or dried out, you can simply reuse them, it should work just fine. Otherwise i suggest to measure one with a cliper probe.
@@MakaiTechReviews yea because theres this thing on the aurmory crate called SPPT & SPL for the Cpu that everytime i max out my temps o n cpu and gpu hit the high 90s thats not normal...i think i need to change either the liquid metal compound on the cpu and the stock thermal paste on the gpu plus thermal pads if they look used up
If you change the pads it is very hard to realign the cooling pipes back on spot, Because in order to make it a very tight seal you need to press harder and if you don’t have a clue what you are doing you may break something or otherwise you will have some space left between silicon and metal and risk throttle. If you want a little less degrees just buy the thermal mayonnaise clean the dried one and spread it like butter to maximize the area of thermal area
@@vlad2908 where can I buy this thermal mayonnaise
@@jorgevazquez7950 Use K5 PRO, bro. It’s liquid thermal pad.
which connector is the power button?
can you replace the liquid metal with a regular thermal paste? ill be using a thermal grizzly thanks
What's motherboard name of this model??
Can i upgrade the cpu in a G533QS?
Not in a user friendly easy way. (Soldering is needed)
whats the blue stuff on the heat sync
Great video thx 👍
i have the G733QS HG 028T Model
For RAM: wich dimension of RAM is usable? SO DIMM 204, 240 or 260 or other?
I want upgrade it 32GB RAM with 2x 16GB and another SSD with 2TB or more :)
Is It an issue for temperature that the thermal metal liquid paste has burnt?
Hey man my pc cpu was get up to 92 degrees and I didn’t yet have Liquid Metal and I had to use a thermal paste on the cpu and now the temps are even worse on idle my cpu is around 80 on silent and when I put it at performance or turbo damn it goes to 95 degrees and I don’t know what to do and I’m damn scared to put in Liquid Metal as it’s conductive when I get it soon. So do you have any tips that could help me out.
My specs
Ryzen 7 5800h rtx 3050 ti
Hello friend, thats a Nice vídeo!! Contrats 👏🏻
Does this model use a cmos 2032 battery?
Thanks in advance
This is some kind of special thermal paste used instead of thermal pads or the same as GPU? Sorry for bad English
Hey I just wanted to know what is the model of motherboard? Also can the cpu be swapped out to a ryzen 9 7950x?
Damn bro best true teardown video i ever seen in CZcams for a rog strix laptop
btw what is the white colored material between the two hinges is it Metal or plastic 16:30
Reassembly. The little tags?
Hey, I was wondering if I can upgrade a Asus ROG Scar 17 g733 with a Ryzen 9 5980HX?
Only by totally swap out the whole motherboard, which is frankly speaking not a budget friendly option. :S
Hello, if it's not too much to ask can you please tell me the dimensions of the battery (length and width). Thank you :)
How the heck did you get those pipes off so easy?!
Maybe it is not visible in the video, but actually It is "hard". But I apply only a small pull force to the pipes in order to avoid bending them. You can also use some plastic tool to lever it up if you will, but don't put much force to it. Eventually it will loose and you can pull up. Also you can do some wobbly movement in order to let the paste break its "vacuum pressure".
@@MakaiTechReviews after a while i finally got it off. Thanks for the video. Was really helpful for my first time disassembling a laptop. Reassembled it, and she works beautifully.
Bro, do you know what kind of white paste is used for Vram and Chipsets... I need help
cos i have no idea what to reapply on my strix g15 vram 😢.
people say you need to use thermal pad, but no mine comes with white stuff on vram modules out of factory lol
K5 Pro!
Fantastic detail in this tear down! I have a Samsung 980 Pro that I want to put in my Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 so it is helpful to know what I'll be getting into. You happen to know if there is any capability difference between the m.2 slots?
Thanks. There are no difference between the m.2 slots.
@@MakaiTechReviews As far as I can tell it looks like the laptop only supports PCIE 3.0 (?), so it may not really be worth installing the Samsung 980 Pro permanently. I'll put it in temporarily to test it, but if the performance is hamstrung by PCIE 3.0 I'll eventually migrate the part to a computer that can properly use it.
EDIT: So CPU-Z reports that the laptop supports PCIE 4.0, so I'm not sure why the Asus literature says the m.2 drives are at 3.0 speeds. Only testing will tell...
@@ceb1970 so gen 4 ssd works fine?
which toolkit did you use for the dissasembly? I want to do the same thing
Will the ´WD BLACK SN750 SE 1TB´ fit in the G533 laptop?
Hi, very good job, congratulations, very well done video. I don't know if I missed it or maybe I didn't look carefully but I don't see where the bluetooth is located, very grateful if you tell me, thank you very much
Hi, glad I could help. @8:10 the Wifi module is Wifi+Bluetooth these 2 are combined together.
Thank you, very fast answer!!!
You mentioned lots of room for multi-layer NVMEs. Does that include a heatsink, like the 980 Pro w/ heatsink? I'm curious in general how this laptop cools the NVMEs and RAM. Is there case circulation of some sort? Again, primary question is around room for NVMEs w/ heatsinks, specifically in the G533. Thank you!
I'm looking for this same answer. just reached out to asus support and they cant give me an answer.
@@JeffKassel That's concerning. I love the laptop, but don't understand their cooling strategy for the NVMEs and RAM. If anyone figures out whether a 980 Pro w/ heatsink fits, that would be good to know, too.
Where is the bios battery?
You found The location of The battery?
Really nice video. I have this laptop ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 G733QS-HG015T. Do you if i can change the gpu thermal paste with a metal liquid one ? Or it is just for the CPU ? Thank you
Also if you could help me with the number of pads and dimension 🙏
Hello when you turn the motherboard upside down, what's that flying wire? Is it a faulty motherboard?
This was an engineering sample.
Thanks for the video! Do you happen to still remember where the warranty void sticker is for this laptop? I want to check my heatsink mount on my unit because it runs way too hot(93c) during games. I saw similar laptops running at 80c with higher power.
Might be a little too late but it's usually on a screw on the heatsink, I think ~90 degrees is quite normal for ROG Strix, I've seen a lot of new ones running 90+.
You could buy an external cooler to help it a bit.
@@SicknatureL2 Thanks for answering. I gave it to a service center, they opened it and saw that there was barely any liquid metal paste on the cpu. No wonder it was at 93. GPU still runs hot though I don't think anything can be done for that.
@@anudeepk7579 Noticed any change in CPU temps after they changed it? If so, by how much?
Appreciate your time, didn't think you'd actually answer.
@@SicknatureL2 Yup, they applied new liquid metal. When the guy came to my house to check, there was barely any LM on the CPU and the seal was non-existent!!! Manufacturer's fault if I've ever seen one.
Anyways, yeah after that I saw 20 degrees drop in temps. I don't think it goes beyond 75 anymore. GPU on the other hand, no matter how many times I get it repasted, it always hits 86C(hotspot is 105C!) which is Nvidia's limit. I've accepted that the device is just designed this way or something I don't see is taking place. Been running it like that ever since.
@@anudeepk7579 Hi! I'm from Brazil and I have a g533qr (ryzen 7 5800h with rtx3070). In heavy games my processor always hits 94° and the gpu always stays at 86°. I already saw that it is normal for this model, but your information brought a new perspective. I turned off turbo boost as a stopgap measure. Thanks for the info.
I have a question what is the name from the mainboard?
Thanks a tonne to show this to us !!!...i have few questions though, if possible please answer...is gpu and processor soldered to motherboard ?..can usb ports if go malfunctioned can they be repaired or changed without scrapping the whole motherboard. This is the part i hate in laptops that parts are soldered and not swappable.(desktop user) if it is soldered then what solution you recommend, for future repairs like these after warranty. can a local engineer do some magic or what..
Also please speak in your videos..we don't like sadistic music anyways..'😂😂😁😁..cheers🤘🤘
Это скорее G733 модель , так как в g533 один вентилятор нельзя снять , пока не снимешь систему охлаждения
Good shit thanks
Is there a removable CMOS battery on these units?
This is what I was thinking too
@@joemarooni4580I was never able to validate this btw. I never found one when tearing mine down. I ended up buying a desktop and ditching gaming laptops. It was the 2nd ROC Strix that died on me in 2 years. I'll never get one again.
