ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (FX507, 2023) review – higher price but better performance


Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

To access this notebook’s internals, you need to undo 12 Phillips-head screws. The one in the bottom right corner is captive and lifts the edge from the base. This is where you can start the prying process.

Inside, there is a 90Wh battery pack. To take it out, unplug the connector from the motherboard, and undo the three Phillips-head screws that keep the battery attached to the chassis.

In terms of memory, there are two SODIMM slots, which work with DDR4 RAM. As for storage, you get two M.2 PCIe x4 slots. They both support Gen 4 SSDs.

Cooling-wise, there are two heat pipes shared between the CPU and the GPU. In addition, both chips get one more heat pipe, while a fifth one takes care of the graphics memory and the VRMs. Lastly, two fans and four heat sinks dissipate the heat away.

Hi, i have a question for you guys. i’m in doubt between buying the Asus TUF f15 with i7-12700H and RTX 4060 or the Acer Nitro 5 An517-55 with i7-12700H and RTX 3060. I read both your review and (also if not with this configurations) i’m concerned about two things: 1-the low CPU performance of the ASUS (i dont understand if they are only for the i7-13th or also for the 12th), and how much they are lowest in comparation of the Acer CPU performance, always with i7-12700H; 2- i compare the two PC and don’t understand how much the… Read more »

I know this is late but how much is the wattage of the Nitro 5? remember even if its a 4060 if it has a lower wattage over the 3060, the 3060 will outperform the 4060

Hey. I just got this laptop yesterday and I’m having issues: performance in cb23 and timespy is much worse than I see here. I get 12000 graphic score in timespy, about 1500 / 14500 for cb23 single / multi.
Also in games it heats like to 90-95

Hello, I have a question about the RAM.

I have a asus TUF f15 FX507VV-ds91 with a i9 core and RTX4060 and 2x8gig 3200MHz DDR4 so-dimm

I wanted to know if it is possible upgrade this to a DDR5 so-dimm 32g or 64g RAM. I read from the asus website and it does support DDR5 rams but only at 24g RAM. So I am a bit confused on this matter.

Hope to get some clarification and thank you for the informative review

Can you tell me abit more regarding the Hinges’ durability? Do you think that ASUS TUF’s “military grade” laptop hinges are better than other budget laptop such as Acer Nitro, HP Victus, and MSI GF63? I’m really curious about how they compare. Thank you very much in advance!
