    Inside ASUS TUF FX505 – disassembly and upgrade options

    PLEASE WHITELIST US. If it weren’t for the ads, LaptopMedia wouldn’t be running.

    When a gaming laptop is on a budget, we have to bear in mind that there have been some sort of cost management going on. Despite that, TUF FX505’s upgradability is unhurt. Check it out.

    1. Remove the bottom plate

    Taking the bottom panel off the FX505 is simple as a pie. Take all 11 Phillips-head screws and pry the panel up with a plastic tool. At first sight, we immediately see something that could have been improved.

    2. Battery

    Sadly, it is the battery. This laptop is equipped with a 48Wh battery pack, which depending on the processor you use can deliver terrible or average results. In order to continue with the disassembly, you should remove the battery connector. If you need to swap the battery out, though, just unscrew the two Phillips-head screws on the bottom and you can easily lift it up.

    3. Memory and storage

    TUF FX505 is blessed with two RAM DIMMs that support up to 32GB of DDR4 memory at speeds of maximum 2666 MHz. At the same time, there are two storage options on the laptop – a SATA drive, located on the right side of the battery and an M.2 slot, placed on top of the Wi-Fi card.

    4. Cooling system

    As far as the cooling is concerned, the system is not very sophisticated nor sufficient. There is one rather bulky heat pipe cooling off both of the chips, and one more – thinner and shorter, only dedicated to the graphics card.

    “TUF FX505 is blessed with two RAM DIMMs that support up to 32GB of DDR4 memory at speeds of maximum 2666 MHz.” It comes with a 8GB installed, you can install 2 with up to 2 32GB, so maximal 64 GB ram in total.
    Also what is with your spelling? I’m not shure what you asked, because the answer to that was in the article, so please correct me if I’m wrong here

    You are right.
    16+16=32GB, and it can only run up to 2400 MHz at that config due to the limitations of the processor. What you get is 8 gigs at 2666 MHz, but your best bet is upgrading/max 16+16=32 at 2400 MHz, you don’t have to spend more on the 2666 MHz, just take 2400 (it should be the cheapest option).
