    How to open ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 G733 (2023) – disassembly and upgrade options

    From: Anna Iorgova | 0


    Step 1: Accessing the Internal Components

    1. Turn off your ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 G733 (2023) and place it on a soft, clean surface to prevent any damage.
    2. Undo the 11 Philips-head screws securing the bottom panel. Note that the bottom right screw is captive, which will slightly lift the plate, allowing you to start popping the panel off from there.
    3. Begin at the front, then work your way around the sides and back to remove the panel.

    Hint: The captive screw helps to start the disassembly process without the need for additional tools.


    Step 2: Disconnecting the Battery and RGB Stripes

    1. Gently raise the panel from the front side.
    2. Detach the battery connector from the mainboard.
    3. Carefully pull out the two thin flat ribbon connectors powering the front RGB stripe.

    Caution: Be extra careful with the ribbon connectors to avoid tearing them.


    Step 3: Removing the Battery

    1. If the battery connector is already detached, proceed to remove the four Philips-head screws fixing the battery to the chassis.
    2. Lift the 90Wh battery away from the chassis.

    More info: The battery supports up to 7 hours and 42 minutes of web browsing, or 4 hours of video playback.


    Step 4: Upgrading Memory

    1. Locate the two SODIMM slots for memory upgrades.
    2. Upgrade or install DDR5-4800MHz RAM sticks to achieve up to 96GB in dual-channel mode.

    Step 6: Examining the Cooling System

    1. Inspect the massive vapor chamber cooling solution, including the Arc Flow fans, two heat pipes, and four heat sinks.
    2. Note the application of liquid metal on both CPU and GPU chips for enhanced thermal conductivity.

    More info: The cooling system is designed to efficiently manage heat, ensuring optimal performance during intensive gaming sessions.
