Thanks for showing this great mod case option (and colors) from Handheld DIY. As always, you give your viewers intricate detail to fully understand a mod or product. Thanks for another great video on your channel!
From thoroughly watching all of your ROG Ally videos, im now SOLD! Brilliant tips,mods and more. I will be ordering the Ally this month with purple backplate and chunky boi mod. Thankyou👏🏼
I like that backplate a lot. Fit was every bit as good as the original, except for the back buttons. The left one ended up fine out of the box, but the right one was a bit wonky. All that was needed to fix it was to just widen the the cross shaped hole ever so slightly with an exacto knife. I probably shaved off less than half a millimeter. After that, it was just fine. I did have to use the 2 little button shims that came with the case.
Heck yeah
I just installed my Purple!! I love it
Heck yeah ! Glad you like it too. These things rock
It really does make a massive difference. My only fret is that the dust shielding could be improved as I do have to clean my ally more often, but the cooling provided is really a step up from the original backplate. With the right fan curve, you will rarely see the ally temps go above 65 degrees Celsius
If I had an ALLY I'd def be copping this as ine if my first mods
Heck yeah. I love this thing
You should try to put those rgb ABXY buttons from the claw into the Ally before you send the claw back to see if it works that would be an awesome mod 👍
Maybe once I pickup a used one when they drop crazy low I can see if they fit but I don’t think they do
I got HHD White and white back buttons. I love this thing, only thing I dislike the name plate.
Heck yeah. Peel that thang off ;)
Great videos! I've been tempted to try the 2280 mod on my Ally but I've seeing some people say it works great, and other saying it cooked it and their device no longer works. I couldn't find a video on your channel of you showing the install process and what 90 degree adapter, heat sink and 2280 drive you have been using, do you have a video for that? Also curious about the hall effect joysticks, I've seen some people use the magnetic resistant tape on the bottom of the joystick, others wrapping small chuncks around the entire dome on the joystick all seemed to help a bit but not completely stop the interface drift. Only video I have seen that nearly removed all the interface was he put a small magnet on the far side of the joystick with double sided tape (opposite side to where the fan is placed) figured you might be interested in testing it and if you can find the perfect sized magnet maybe let Handheld diy know what you have come up with and maybe they can design one specific for the Left Joystick that people can just slap in their Ally with no interface issues
Purple reminds me of a gameboy i had when i was a young lad, gonna have a look to see if theu ship to uk
Heck yeah same. I do believe they do. Just be sure to use my coupon code CPPCTEK FOR 10% off
Front, and Black Case in addition 🫶🏽
We need the front housing for sure. I hope they make it soon
Already got my handheldDIY modcase and it works great. Have you already tried their cooler fan/radiator? Whats your insight with it? Is it safe considering there could be condensation with it?
I have translucent one from the first batch and I've been wondering what if you could cut out the plastic at the center of the heat plate to make direct contact with magnet cooler. I have the black shark cooler and the size would make a perfect fit.
can you show us how to make glasses free 3d screen overlays with lenticular sheets and reshade/superdepth3d?
Hey man. I hope you can read this. I would absolutely love a face buttons replacement tutorial. There’s no tutorials online for that and my buttons are starting to sound kind of weird after so much use
Hey I def can do that soon as I get a new set to swap out. I might try printing some again.
@@cppctek thanks a lot. Will definitely stay tuned for that!
I was honestly not impressed with this DIY case and after they did not deliver my nameplate like I ordered I was even more not impressed. I switched back to the jsaux clear without the led and installed like you a heat sink on my 2230. This fits perfect and I don’t need spacer or anything.
Interesting. I’m sorry the name plate not being there turned you off. Try reaching out to Donald on their discord. Also I didn’t like the rgb module on the jsaux as it traps in heat and raised both nvme and core temps. It’s not a bad plate but just meh.
@@cppctekummm your own data shows the JSAUX lowering temps over stock. I have both.. the RGB module most definitely does not trap heat. It lowers temps over stock just not quite as much as the modcase.
Should I remove the black sticker over the heatsink and put the thermalpad over it? In your video you make it touch directly with the heatsink
100% yes
my front on my ally is starting to get lots of a little damage sadly definitely want to replace with something like you can with the back
They do sell replacement white oem ones on the handhelddiy website. I was thinking about picking one up and painting it with some high quality purple paint and clear coating it. Use my discount code cppctek tho to save 10% if you do so you don’t pay full price. I’m quite tempted to order and paint one if they don’t hurry up and make us a clear front lol 😂
Do you have any 2280 recommendations? Does it matter if the ssd has dram or is dram-less? I see a lot of people using the p3 Plus. I just ordered the handheld diy backplate based on your comparison video. Thank you for the great info.
The p3 plus is usually an awesome value and a good drive. Don’t go for any super duper drive or they just run hot af.
Just ordered mine, im from the uk so i have to wait a week and a half cant waitt!! Ps i was looking for that little heat sink for the ssd but cant find any in stock i can get in the uk any recommendations as to where i could get one? Thanks for all the rog ally vids im loving them
Thanks. 🙏 just any 3-5mm or so thick heat sink will work.
2 months later What's your honest opinion?
@UsnRoberts love it. I’ve got two allys with them
Heyy do we need to remove the black shielding paper on the back that covers the ssd after we put the thermal pad on the backplate? Or just leave it as is thank you
Yes def remove that. Also helps cooling to have that removed.
Try installing a battery from msi claw
Too big but the connectors diff :(
@@cppctek The diameter of the battery fits, and the connector can be resoldered
I got the backplate but somewhat considering finding something to have the back buttons off.
Buy the thin flat buttons they don’t feel there anymore. I hate the stock buttons
@@cppctek awesome!! I find myself accidentally pressing them during MHW and I cant't find the video it recorded lol
I got the white one btw. To me the color is identical. Didn't need to cut the thermal pad, those screws came in handy since the OG ones were messed up. The discord server is awesome even tho I'm quiet there.
That ugreen powerbank.. Is it the nexode 140w 25000mah ? Killer deal on amazon today might grab one
Indeed it is. I love this thing. I really do use the heck out of it and it’s traveled with me all over. I actually just used it earlier to charge up my legion go while my power was flickering during a storm and I didn’t want to risk it being plugged into an outlet. I’ve had quite a bit of power banks and by far this one actually is impressive.
a.co/d/1QKrM7E
I almost forgot the link. Here ya go
@cppctek awesome. Any particular plug you recommend to recharge the powerbank ?
@danielshaw007 pretty much all I use is ugreen chargers because of the thermal protections and the efficiency. I use to use a bunch of junk stuff on Amazon and I also would go through batteries alot faster on phones. Since using the green stuff I haven’t had any issues out my new phone or my newer devices. So you def can’t go wrong with them. But if you’re looking for chargers just make sure the cable you use is rated for 100w and it’s not a super long cable. The ally and many devices get weird about longer cables and also ones rated below 100w. My ally refuses to let me into the 30w turbo mode if I don’t use a good enough cable. Then if I use a 5ft 100w cable it charges super slow. So I primarily use the 3.3foot 100w cables
Do you know where I could buy an original backplate ? Also I’d like to get an extra set if screws the hold the m1 and m2 buttons . 😅
HandheldDIY website has some original ones still I believe. Also the other HandheldDIY backplates do come with screws for everything too
Thank you
Can i put it with a 2280 with some a copper and aluminum sink for heat dissipation ?
Yes I use a 2280 with a heatsink but I’ve also tried copper too. Copper is heavier though and the difference isn’t worth the extra weight. We’re talking 1c maybe
I didn’t put it thinking because i thought it was going to make contact with the apu thermal pad and i didn’t want the heat to transfer to the ssd but I’ll put it tmr. Thanks
I just installed mine it definitely made a difference. My only gripe is the kickstand doesn't let me put it on the dock now. Does anyone have a recommendation for a new dock that might work?
What I did was remove the kick stand. But the Jsaux rgb dock I think has enough room.
Awesome, thank you. Keep up the great content.
What is your opinion on rog ally battery upgrade ?
The one you have to use a laptop battery for ? The one you have to have a huge backplate printed for? Not really a fan because of several caveats. Here’s what I use instead czcams.com/video/jjfJmBDJ-h0/video.htmlsi=LcpN87cJ7udo3QbW
Allows me to keep using all my cases and mods and I have better temps. Thr battery blocks airflow and traps a lot of heat in when you go to the laptop battery mod. Also a big % of people who do the mod end up selling it and going back stock. They sure never tell you about the part unfortunately. There’s several other issues with it I just don’t think it’s worth the insane risk. Even gamers nexus covered it and also my mods too in an older video
@cppctek Oh, thank you for the heads up, I was planning to do this mod, but now I'm not. It isn't worth the risk and also all the flaws that come with it. I gonna follow your steps. Thank you for doing this much for the community
Why so expensive
It’s built extremely well. Comes with alot in the box and it’s functional and not just cosmetic. Id say it’s fairly priced compared to other options
"No more Noctua". UNSUB.
Sureeee 😂😂😂🫡
These mods are waste of time. I want a new backplate, so I could expand the battery inside the housing. I'm this close to buy a scanner and make my own version.
You should try to put those rgb ABXY buttons from the claw into the Ally before you send the claw back to see if it works that would be an awesome mod 👍
I wish I could but they e got an anti tamper sticker on and it voids warranty and newegg won’t return. But I don’t think it would fit due to the pcb design. But maybe when prices plummet on the claws I’ll get another and try swapping that and the sticks
@@cppctek Dang hopefully the buttons will work, maybe Asus will steal that from MSI if they make a Rog Ally 2. Msi wouldn't come at them when you consider the claw is almost exactly the same design as the Ally lol if they just put a Ryzen chip in there it would have been the best handheld. Pulling the joysticks out of the Claw is a good idea, I wonder how they designed it so that it doesn't interfere with the hall affect triggers like the Ally does 🤔
The Ally doesn't have any LEDs on the PCB under the ABXY buttons. Literally no way to light anything up. Maybe the buttons themselves are they same but you aren't going to get RGB ABXY buttons on the Ally without a reverse engineered/modded main board which is a ridiculous amount of work for a feature so trivial.
