- I completely had to re-do my initial video when I found shocking results with the original idea I had. I originally used the copper heatsink and it had terrible cooling performance. You will see what I did to figure out a much better solution!

thermal pad used
Gelid or nab 1mm only. Don’t use thicker it won’t fit well don’t use .5 either. Not enough thickness. 1mm is perfect

More words of wisdom from the ROG Warrior!!🎉 You showing me new ways how to upgrade that I didn't think possible, I'm glad that I found yiu on my feed, keep up the hard work broham!!
Thanks so much !
This mod is one of the best ones I've seen so far for this hand held.
Thanks! Did you see my fan mod on the newer videos ?
@@cppctek not yet, I’ll check it out.
Nice video and thanks for sharing the info. I’ll definitely be adding this!
Check out my newer mod videos I’ve dived way deeper with even better solutions and mods. Thanks for the comments !
Thank you for sharing. Please continue to provide improvements on our ally.
Thanks so much ! I’ll have more mods soon
@@cppctekdid you place thermal tape or double sided tape?
Amazing mod. Just ordered from your recommended links.
Better temps fir under $30! Amazing! Thank you!
Heck yeah. Check out my later vids to see what I’m doin now
Love the video! Definitely will be trying this out! Thank you man!
Heck yeah thanks a ton. Stay tuned I have a few more easy diy mods this week I am working on I’ll share
Should've came from factory like this, great find definitely looking for the follow up Im definitely interested in doing this to my ally, barely got my tv dock and mouse/keyboard definitely transforms this thing
Right on
Another informative vid. Thanks
Heck yeah thanks bro
Thank you for this incredible video! Your channel is a gem! Just a quick question, when you mentioned the thermal pads, would I buy those plus the heat sink? Like would I cut the thermal pad to the shape of the heat sink/ssd and it would go in between the two? Sorry I’m just so new to this.
Hey thanks. Just cut the pad down to the 25x25 size and it’s a match made in heaven. Sticky on both sides. Sticks between the heatsink and the nvme I am
Going to make a follow up video to this as I have got tons of questions to follow up on. Thanks so much for the support!
Excellent discovery. Have you tested orientation of the fins, horizontal vs vertical? Based on fan intake position and the slots in the rear of the Ally, a horizontal orientation may cause the least amount of airflow reduction.
The current placement is the one that makes the most sense to me and works the best imo vertically gives the best natural heat dissipation and flow
Because of this video, i just bought an aluminum heatsink and a gelid thermal 1.0mm 😂
Thankss!! Hope this also works in my ally ❤️
Heck yeah. It does for sure
Really cool but you should find a heat block with the fins oriented in the other direction. Then they got in the same direction as the air flow. I assume if its exactly 25x25 you can rotate it and it fit just the same. The only issue may be the back frame that holds it in palce may not work as well.

It actually fits perfectly
Fantastic job
Thank you very much! Check out part two I uploaded last night that will help you with the install much better
I may try this. Seems like a great way to get temps for that down. Have you tried changing out the thermal paste? I saw a video showing the thermal paste in the unit isn’t great from the factory. Haven’t looked myself other than replacing the NVMe drive.
Thermal paste may drop apu temps 2c at best. Not worth voiding the warranty over currently. However this heatsink mod for the nvme will significantly improve longevity of the nvme and sustained read and write temps under stress.
Dude the paste on the APU is great. It isn't even paste, it's a Honeywell phase-change pad. I've seen liquid metal having zero benefit. If you want your temps down, limit it to 20w. I've found incredibly small FPS gains going from 20w to 40w but temps went 70 to 95
Nice work, man. Ordered it. Should arrive in a few days. Really appreciate the effort and I'm sure this will go a long way to lengthen the reliability of the drive. Thank you.
Much appreciated!
One question there is currently black thermal paper (or maybe not I'm a noob) over the middle of the back. I noticed yours either doesn't have it or you removed it. Should I remove it, or can I just cut a square out where the SSD is so the heat sink can sit?
Very interesting, i will also mod my ally like this😊
Heck yeah lmk how you like it. I’m 3d printing some accessories as we speak I’ll be sharing this week hopefully so stay subbed to see it. Thanks for the support.
great video
Thanks. ! I have tons more mods you should check out if like this one. Also more coming.
Hey man, thank you for the video. I just installed the heat sink and now my 1TB SSD won’t go above 63C on a 2 min write stress test with crystal mark, maybe I can get better temps with the pads you recommended but I used an extra one from my EK gpu waterblock. I also put a zip tie just to be safer
The zip tie may put too much pressure under it. No need to do it if you used the same size. Check out it my new mods video for some tips All of MY ROG Ally Mods + How I clone my drives with one button! Feat. Yottamaster NVME Duplicator

lol hell yeah brother. Enjoy ! Thanks for the support
FYI, NAND flash actually WANTS to be hot. The memory controller, yes, cooler is better. But for the actual memory chips, cooler is worse below a certain point. 90c is too high, yes, but 50c is too low for NAND flash. You can find hard numbers, but the gist is that data stored cold is more volatile and will degrade (if unpowered) significantly faster than data written hot. Pretty sure you shorten lifetime TB/W too. LTT had a deep dive video a few years ago.
Normally on a 3rd gen 2280 you'd only apply thermal pads to the controller, and the heatspreader/label is enough for the memory. I'm not 100% sure about these smaller 4th Gen drives however.
Gen 4 drives run hot. Run any temp monitoring software and alarm bells go off if you run the sn740 without a heatsink or making the gen 4 2230s. 2230s are monsters with less surface area to disperse heat.
@@cppctekhat makes a lot of sense, a 2TB 2230 4th gen is gonna be a hell of a lot hotter than a 2280 3rd gen or the stock 512gb 2230. I'll do some testing once I get my 740!
try with small heatsinks also on ram , i did this to my deck and it's the best cooling method with a cloaed shell like u did here , all just gently are pressed by backplate

Thanks for the vid, really informative! Could you leave a link to the 2tb drive from Aliexpress, just want to use the same seller and avoid any hunting for a good one? Thanks!
Honestly since it’s been so long I would snag something on Amazon now that prices have come down on nvme drives. Drop by the discord I’ll share links. CZcams deletes them here
Hi, I have ordered one of those m.2 right angle adapter and a 4tb 2280 ssd (crucial p3 plus). I have also ordered a sabrent nvme heatsink. Can you please test. I think it won't be enough to cool the ssd. Also the cooler you showed in this vid in 2280 size. Will it fit, if I were to cut the plastic structures in between? Please make a video on that if its possible for you. Great stuff btw
Hey thanks. Check out my newer videos. I’ve been running the 2280 adapter for a while with an ekwb heatsink. My handheld diy backplate videos should show it off well. Also I’m editing a video now that goes in depth on the right tips that can help
need a link for that screwdriver my dude
Hey !!! I followed your video and installed the same size heat sink on my Ally but I have the Jasaux rgb back plate and I can confirm it does not fit. It's extremely close and you can get the back plate snapped together but it pushes on the heatsink enough that it actually leaves the M1 button non-functional because it warps the plate a bit 😢
I currently have the 2280 mod done and the ekwb heatsink and it fits perfect and works perfect.

Hi I just received a heatsink that is not sticky. What should I use stick it ? Thermal paste, thermal pad or Conductive tape ?
Please watch the latest video for the faq and install guide.
I'm gonna buy a new SSD for my Ally but I don't have small screwdrivers to open up the unit and I'm afraid something I randomly buy will strip the screws on my device can you let me know what screwdriver you used to take yours apart by any chance?
I used a cheap Amazon electronics screwdriver repair kit for about 10$ on Amazon. Theres a ton of diff ones between 10-20$. Just a Phillips head but like an 0 or 00 size
I thought wallpaper app stop working when you playing games to free up Resources😅
Hello, good afternoon, what is the model or name of the Screwdriver that you are using in the video?
Hey it’s an arrow max on Amazon ! Stop by and see my new mod videos and cod ban videos. You don’t wanna miss them if you haven’t see them
Are you going to install the 90 watt battery mod for the rog ally
I’m tempted but im not sure yet since i mostly use it plugged in or around the house. I probably will eventually once i see some thermals
You are placing the heatsink and thermal pad on the ssd and that's it ? can i get rid of the plastic protector? Am watching lots of videos i already ordered the 25x25 by 10 and the g lid thermal pad.
Yeah ditch the black flap for the ally it traps heat
@@cppctek i don't know if this normal am not an expert really but i followed a tutorial on how to install it and i freaked my life when i tried to turn it on it was not turning on i unplugged battery press for 30 sec finally I tried to open it plugged and it work, it is normal? I hope i didn't force the connector of the battery too much while it wasn't necessary, everything seems to work but am afraid i touched the thermal pad too much with my hands, but now non issues so far, i grinded a corner of my heatsink to make it fit better, i hope i did it well xd.. the installation is simple but am sacred i damaged something without knowing
What temps do you get when running cyberpunk after the install? I am thinking about ordering the pad and heatsink because I personally am getting around 90c running 25watt turbo.
Be sure you update to the latest bios and software in the my asus apps. Your temps will drop for sure. Also I game usually in the 70s on the apu temps and nvme temps 40s
@@cppctek I am fully updated and I still get 90c. I am running medium settings at 1080p.
@@cppctek would you recommend I tone down the settings more and run it at 720?
Nah run 1080 with fsr quality
@@cppctek I’ll double check my fsr isn’t set to something else. I appreciate the help. I went ahead and ordered the heatsink and padding.
Does one of those little fin 25x25x10 heatsinks fit in a steamdeck as well?
No it won’t
Sorry (new here) did you remove the back buttons on purpose?
Yes my big fingers hate them and I never use them. Check out my new mods videos though
Is there heat sink for memory card? What is that cooling for battery?
This is a nvme hearsink. Check out the video and you will see. There’s no thermal solution for the sd card reader just upgrade the nvme and pretend the sd card don’t exist lol.
Do I also need to apply thermal glue or not?
No as mentioned you use the thermal pad
I did it but i dont know why when ever i turn on turbo mode it always hit 95 temp 😢 any reason ?
Are you looking at the apu temps or the nvme temps. Where are you seeing 95c and how are you measuring it.
Will this work for a steam deck and if i find a thinner one?
I don’t know but there’s a few options out there I think
What electric screw driver are you using?

On the off chance you see this comment 8 months later, you should clock that heatsink 90° so the fins are in line with the air flow, rather than acting as air dams as they are now.
All I run is the 90 degree adapter now
@@cppctek ahhhh, you're doing the 2280 mod?
Did it months ago. Never looked back. Check out all my full length videos.
@cppctek in the process as we speak haha. Lovin the content dude
@Jake-kw4ql thanks !
So I have to remove the heat resistant pad completely right?
Heat resistant pad?
The big black pad that cover it. We have to peal it out to do eve else.
Will 1.5mm thermal pad fit ok?
It’s unlikely but it might. Check my part two I uploaded last night it will help you a ton
Why no one tried liquid metal on the chip? 🤔 i wanna try it
It won’t last long for one. Too much prep and risk comes into play with Liquid Metal. It’s not a good candidate for it nor would it give any impact on performance
@@cppctek do you think about something else? I mean, maybe a good termal paste instead of the oem?
I just went live last night. I re pasted with kingpin kpx. The best of the best paste. Dropped 3c and have zero performance difference. Unlike intel CPUs and Nvidia gpus, amd apus don’t scale with lower temps the same. I’ve shown it and several others including pc world channel on CZcams. 300k subs. It’s not worth it. Zero gain + huge risk. It’s not worth voiding warranty
So I would place this on top of the SSD?
Correct
@@cppctek holy cow that’s a neat trick. Hmmm I might give it a try thanks for helping the community can’t wait to see more
@@cppctekI do have this black plastic type of material that originally came with the ROG can I put the heat sink on top of that also or do I remove the whole black thing covering the mother board? I noticed in your video you don’t have that black plastic thing at all
@@vegaf2011right. i would like to know if i should remove that black plastic or if i should keep it there.
@reticulizeta7351 def remove. Go check out my updated mods video
Wait what’s wrong with wallpaper engine?

25 x 25 x 10 but ur link 35 x 35 x 10... i bought wrongly..lol
The link must have sold out or had multiple options. I always check. Let me double check

Don't do that's 😱😱😱
lol go see my other mods on newer vids 😁
Don't listen to this dude It can run stock just fine without nothing You don't need a modify it In if you do you're getting trolled 😂
This is for people upgrading to faster more higher temp drives if you followed along. No ones trolling. I even made a follow up video where I spoke directly to various drive manufacturers. You right now = 🤡
