ASUS TUF 17.3" Gaming Laptop Memory Upgrade Add Additional HDD. FX706l 

I came into this video weeks ago trying to learn how to change and increase my ram memory. After rewatching this video multiple times and looking through the market, I found out that this customer bought the Teamgroup T-Force Zeus DDR4 32GB kit as he stated in the video. It sounded like a safe kit to buy for my upgrade too, seeing as they worked according to this video. However, after reading reviews on Amazon about them and such, I found out that sometimes they don’t operate at the frequency advertised for spec reasons. Sure enough as I watched this video it seemed that the frequency cap with the Zeus were 2677-ish (as stated @17:46). Now *I’m not super tech savvy* but the stock RAM runs at 2933 and I just wanted something just like stock but with more ram memory. I found the Kingston Fury 32GB kit, liked the reviews and decided to try my luck on those. Yeah it’s more money but, for peace of mind, I am super please with my purchase! Runs just like how I wanted it too; 2933MHz with 32GB RAM. Hope my comment helps someone!

Planning on updating my F17, you don’t know how much this video is going to help me. Thank you

I used this video to add memory and hard drive upgrade to my ASUS TUF 17.3 FX706LI as well! I made some shorts on my channel to kind sum this up in a few minutes. Thank you for the video!

Dale, you do great work !

I'm getting this laptop for Christmas, it is the same model, and i've been a bit concerned for memory, so this video is really helpful, as i intend to try and upgrade it's specs, so thank you very much for making this video!

Great video as always Dale!! I must say your advice saved my laptop. I'm even gaming on it its so powerful & fast. Thanks!!!

I have the same one your working on and ordered 16 gigs more ram and did it at home thank you Dale for the info appreciate it

I just recently got a new laptop my first gaming laptop from Asus (A17 TUF FA706IH) and I've upgraded it with a 2.5 1TB SSD as well as an M.2 NVMe 1TB SSD, 2 16GB memory cards, and also an intel Wi-Fi card 6E And the latest version of Windows 11 Professional.

Thank you. Upgrading the lower end model with RAM and SSD will save me about $700.

Good video, I'm getting the FX706HE in a few days, can't wait to pimp it out, mostly will be used for 3D game development and music production.

bought this computer and I love it. Gonna upgrade the ram too. Thank you for this,

Just ordered same pc type. Will put my existing 2tb hdd as a second drive into it. Many thanks for your explanations.

Your camera man is on point!

This no longer has the ability to install a sata drive. Only 2 NVMe drives are possible which sucks

What ram and storage upgrades u recommend for this laptop?

Hello. Better work on ESD grounded mat but not on carpet. It generates static electricity.

Just picked up the newer version of the F17 by Asus. ASUS - Gaming F17 FX706 17.3" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8 GB Memory - NVIDIA Intel GeForce RTX 3050 UHD Graphics - 512 GB I'm looking to upgrade the ram to a 32gb kit and increase the storage with a 1T drive (SSD) hopefully. Any thoughts as to which ones I should go with for a safe upgrade? I use the laptop for CAD, Inventor, and Solidworks for work/school purposes so the increased ram and storage are a must for me.

Should connect the little ribbon cable to the board first Then just an easy click to attach the cable to the 2.5 HDD

Thank you very much, it helped me to upgrade the ram of my laptop, blessings.

Nice video. Many thanx.. Hmmmm 17" laptop. My favorite type

awesome video sir. explained very well. these stupid little boys uploading video with a background music so high were unable to hear what they speak. Anyways thanks for explaining

already available in i7 12900 rtx 3060 16gb 1tb at about 1650USD equivalent php

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

FX706HE - doesn’t have connection for SSD. Only NVME slot

Nice job Dale. Owner should have opted for the WD Black which is better and more reliable than the Blue.

What thermal pads were you using to stick on the ram? Where can you get it?

Hey, great video but I'm just wondering - does the laptop come with everything needed to install a 2nd M.2 drive? Or do I need to buy an M.2 mounting kit to be able to put in a 2nd one?

Adding that HDD should be only for storage purpose otherwise if you plan on using it for gaming, you just threw money away and it's a pity for those 32 gigs of ram.

Hey, I have a question. Is it fine to mix factory RAM with another store bought RAM? Will there be any issues or things to consider?

One question, each ASUS laptop has a different model FX706L, FX706HC, but I have a model FX706HM, if I want to look for a replacement keyboard and in the product subject on the purchase page it says: Compatible with FX706L, FX706, FX706HC and my model FX706HM does not appear, will it still be compatible with those keyboards?

hey, I have a budget of 62k indian money but i am confused in 3 things, First is is TUF F15 worth it in 2021? or should i go with lenovo legion (for programming purpose) My second question is, Which processor is better for programming purpose? intel i5 10th gen or Ryzen 5 Third is , Should i buy with 1650 or 1650 Ti and does these have a noticable difference? Dale.

Hi Dale. Thanks for showing us your skills. I've a Asus Tuf F17 FX706HEB, I don't have the SATA data cable that maybe came with it. Could you assist me?
