ASUS TUF Gaming A17 (FA707, 2023) review – nearly 5.00 GHz on all cores during full load

Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

To access this notebook’s internals, you need to undo a total of 12 Phillips-head screws, one of which is captive, and lifts the corner of the bottom panel from the chassis. This is where you need to start the prying process from.

Inside, we see a 90Wh battery pack. To take it out, unplug the battery connector from the motherboard, and undo the four Phillips-head screws.

Here, we find two SODIMM slots for memory expansion. They use DDR5 sticks. As for storage, there are two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, both of which support Gen 4 SSDs.

Cooling-wise, there are two heat pipes, shared between the CPU and the GPU. In addition, there is one more dedicated to each of them, as well as a fifth one meant for the graphics memory and the VRMs. Four heat sinks and two fans deal with heat dissipation.
