What's up guys?
It is Bernardo from the BTNHD and yes, I am super excited today because I am going to
finally upgrade my gaming laptop.
I've had this gaming laptop about Wow, maybe three or four or five years and it is strong,
strong, strong.
So you're probably wondering what type of laptop I have I have the ASUS FX53VD with
the 1050 graphics card GTX 1050.
Yes.
Right now I'm running only eight gigs of memory.
And I think the max that I can go right now is 32 gigs.
So I picked up some 32 gig memory two sticks 16 gigs each to max it out, and I'm super
excited.
So I'm gonna show you guys the memory that I purchase, why I picked that type of memory.
I'm going to show you what particular site that I went to do a little bit of research
to why I picked that particular memory because it's super easy.
Right, so let's get started.
Now I like to use crucial.com to do my basic homework.
And the reason why I like this website is because they got a huge database and you are
able to select your computer or download a small little you know app and it will scan
your machine and let you know what type of memory and hard drive you are able to purchase
to upgrade now typically I don't like to install anything so I just go straight to select the
computer.
I picked the manufacturer which would be ASUS or ASUS or whatever they called and enter
your model now.
For me it is the FX 53 VD and boom and submit your search one of the cool things about the
website is that it gives you a rundown on the max memory that you are able to increase
your machine it tell you right now max memory is only 32 gigs.
It has two slots.
standard memory which this is what I have right now eight gigs for hard drive space.
You know it tells you what size was speed, which is cool and even tells you your Intel
chipset and it gives you a rundown of all type of memory.
Now again I picked up actually the ballistic sports LT 16 gigs, DDR4 2400 memory sticks
and I picked up two of them actually pick them up at B&H it was actually on sale so
I took advantage of it and that's what I'm going to be upgrading this machine with two
16 gig sticks to max it out to 32 gigs and if you want to upgrade any laptop or even
PC, they even give you recommendations all the way at the bottom for hard drive space.
So this is all memory going super fast right now and even tells you recommendations on
what type of hard drive you're able to purchase which is awesome.
Alright, so again, I picked up my memory from B&H and I got a good price on the kit, a 32
gig kit two 16 gig sticks.
Super excited.
Yes, these are the ballistic gaming memory.
Awesome.
So right now we have our laptop flat down.
I got my nice little tool kit right here.
There's about 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 holes 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 and
right here in the middle on this particular model, there's like a little rubber guard
which I have to like take out and 11 so as 11 screws that I have to take out just upgrade
the memory.
So that's what we're going to do right now.
All right, finally got it open woof.
Fan is a little dusty.
I'm definitely going to get a air can and clean that off before I put the top.
Nice.
We have our SATA solid state drive and it looks like this guy is a M.2 solid state drive
128 I think this is the terabyte one.
This one right here is the primary one that Windows operating system is installed.
And this is my raw storage.
This is the one that actually have all my games installed.
Awesome.
Woof.
This is beautiful.
I just love the way it looks inside.
This is the Wi-Fi chip right here.
The heat sink.
Fan, I definitely got to clean this up real quick.
And if I lift this flap up right here, there goes our memory.
Beautiful.
Awesome.
Again, it comes standard with two slots, and you automatically get a 8 gig stick.
And this 8 gig stick.
I'm actually going to use it with another machine.
So we're going to take that out
Boom beautiful.
Awesome.
So I'm going to take our ballistics 16 gig sticks two them, which gives us a total of
32 gigs.
So again, you have two DIMM sticks, you always want to put the one that's closest to the
motherboard because if you put the one that's at the top, it's going to be kind of uncomfortable
to put the one next to the motherboard.
So line them up.
Got to line them up on this little, little kind of, you know, a little slot right here.
I like to put it in the angle, make sure it's nice and seated inside the DIMM slot and then
all I got to do just push nice and easy, because these two little hinges right here would clip
right next to the memory stick.
So these little guys right here, those metal hinges were clip right there and you're good
to go.
So that's what I'm gonna do.
Bam, done.
Awesome.
We'll do the same thing with the last stick insert it in a angle position, make sure you
got that slot pointing to that little stick or whatever inside the DIMM, right flapping
and then just push down until you hear the click.
boom, done.
Awesome.
Now I'm actually going to get an air can and I'm going to clean this guy up real quick.
All right, got my air cam here.
Whoo.
Nice.
So best practice when you're cleaning a fan.
Like if you're cleaning like your CPU fan on your PC, your desktop PC, or your laptop
or whatever, you don't want to just blow on it like this.
You see how it's moving it by itself, you don't want that you want to hold it.
The reason why you don't want to have all that air push that fan is because believe
it or not, you're putting pressure into the the bearings of the of the fan.
You don't want that.
You don't want to put more stress to that fan because you need that fan to keep the
machine nice and cool.
So I'm going to just take one thing or hold it down, right so it won't move.
And we're gonna clean all this stuff out.
With the heat, you know, we're gonna clean up the heat sink right there.
All right, bam.
So it's all cleaned up, I got the memory inserted.
I'm going to put the top back on the laptop.
I'm going to put all the screws back and I'm going to power it on and we should be ready
to start gaming.
Alright, so it's finally booted up.
I'm going to right click on the task bar, go to task manager, going to go to performance,
and look right there and see if you guys could get a better look.
Look at the memory 32 gigs super excited can't wait to see how this guy works out.
All right, I'm gonna end it right here and I catch you guys on the next vlog peace out!
