heatsink used
Antrader 12pcs Black Aluminum Cooler Radiator Heat Sink Heatsink 25 x 25 x 10mm a.co/d/coGjHI9
thermal pad used
Gelid or nab 1mm only. Don’t use thicker it won’t fit well don’t use .5 either. Not enough thickness. 1mm is perfect

This mod is one of the best ones I've seen so far for this hand held.
Thanks! Did you see my fan mod on the newer videos ?
@@cppctek not yet, I’ll check it out.
More words of wisdom from the ROG Warrior!!🎉 You showing me new ways how to upgrade that I didn't think possible, I'm glad that I found yiu on my feed, keep up the hard work broham!!
Thanks so much !
My guy! Absolutely amazing video! I’m being deployed soon and wanted to make sure my Ally was set up just right and your video was an absolute god send for me!
Glad I could help. I will keep you in my prayers and thank you for your service. God speed and stay safe ! If you ever need any help hop in my discord or lmk how I can help !
@@cppctek thank you so much! I Appreciate the prayers and support 🙏🏼
Amazing mod. Just ordered from your recommended links.
Better temps fir under $30! Amazing! Thank you!
Heck yeah. Check out my later vids to see what I’m doin now
Thank you for sharing. Please continue to provide improvements on our ally.
Thanks so much ! I’ll have more mods soon
@@cppctekdid you place thermal tape or double sided tape?
Should've came from factory like this, great find definitely looking for the follow up Im definitely interested in doing this to my ally, barely got my tv dock and mouse/keyboard definitely transforms this thing
Right on
Really cool but you should find a heat block with the fins oriented in the other direction. Then they got in the same direction as the air flow. I assume if its exactly 25x25 you can rotate it and it fit just the same. The only issue may be the back frame that holds it in palce may not work as well.

Nice video and thanks for sharing the info. I’ll definitely be adding this!
Check out my newer mod videos I’ve dived way deeper with even better solutions and mods. Thanks for the comments !
Because of this video, i just bought an aluminum heatsink and a gelid thermal 1.0mm 😂
Thankss!! Hope this also works in my ally ❤️
Heck yeah. It does for sure
FYI, NAND flash actually WANTS to be hot. The memory controller, yes, cooler is better. But for the actual memory chips, cooler is worse below a certain point. 90c is too high, yes, but 50c is too low for NAND flash. You can find hard numbers, but the gist is that data stored cold is more volatile and will degrade (if unpowered) significantly faster than data written hot. Pretty sure you shorten lifetime TB/W too. LTT had a deep dive video a few years ago.
Normally on a 3rd gen 2280 you'd only apply thermal pads to the controller, and the heatspreader/label is enough for the memory. I'm not 100% sure about these smaller 4th Gen drives however.
Gen 4 drives run hot. Run any temp monitoring software and alarm bells go off if you run the sn740 without a heatsink or making the gen 4 2230s. 2230s are monsters with less surface area to disperse heat.
@@cppctekhat makes a lot of sense, a 2TB 2230 4th gen is gonna be a hell of a lot hotter than a 2280 3rd gen or the stock 512gb 2230. I'll do some testing once I get my 740!
You should get another one of the copper shim style ones and instead of bending it push it on as is. I think those are designed to be a friction fit and when I installed mine I simply pushed it on with my fingers and I got much better results than you are listing in your tests.
THE MAN!!!! THE MYTH!!!! THE LEGEND!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣💯💪
lol hell yeah brother. Enjoy ! Thanks for the support
Love the video! Definitely will be trying this out! Thank you man!
Heck yeah thanks a ton. Stay tuned I have a few more easy diy mods this week I am working on I’ll share
Thanks!
Thank you ! 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎🔥😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thank you for this incredible video! Your channel is a gem! Just a quick question, when you mentioned the thermal pads, would I buy those plus the heat sink? Like would I cut the thermal pad to the shape of the heat sink/ssd and it would go in between the two? Sorry I’m just so new to this.
Hey thanks. Just cut the pad down to the 25x25 size and it’s a match made in heaven. Sticky on both sides. Sticks between the heatsink and the nvme I am
Going to make a follow up video to this as I have got tons of questions to follow up on. Thanks so much for the support!
try with small heatsinks also on ram , i did this to my deck and it's the best cooling method with a cloaed shell like u did here , all just gently are pressed by backplate

On the off chance you see this comment 8 months later, you should clock that heatsink 90° so the fins are in line with the air flow, rather than acting as air dams as they are now.
All I run is the 90 degree adapter now
@@cppctek ahhhh, you're doing the 2280 mod?
Did it months ago. Never looked back. Check out all my full length videos.
@cppctek in the process as we speak haha. Lovin the content dude
@Jake-kw4ql thanks !
Another informative vid. Thanks
Heck yeah thanks bro
What temps do you get when running cyberpunk after the install? I am thinking about ordering the pad and heatsink because I personally am getting around 90c running 25watt turbo.
Be sure you update to the latest bios and software in the my asus apps. Your temps will drop for sure. Also I game usually in the 70s on the apu temps and nvme temps 40s
@@cppctek I am fully updated and I still get 90c. I am running medium settings at 1080p.
@@cppctek would you recommend I tone down the settings more and run it at 720?
Nah run 1080 with fsr quality
@@cppctek I’ll double check my fsr isn’t set to something else. I appreciate the help. I went ahead and ordered the heatsink and padding.
Nice work, man. Ordered it. Should arrive in a few days. Really appreciate the effort and I'm sure this will go a long way to lengthen the reliability of the drive. Thank you.
Much appreciated!
One question there is currently black thermal paper (or maybe not I'm a noob) over the middle of the back. I noticed yours either doesn't have it or you removed it. Should I remove it, or can I just cut a square out where the SSD is so the heat sink can sit?
Very interesting, i will also mod my ally like this😊
Heck yeah lmk how you like it. I’m 3d printing some accessories as we speak I’ll be sharing this week hopefully so stay subbed to see it. Thanks for the support.
Hi I just received a heatsink that is not sticky. What should I use stick it ? Thermal paste, thermal pad or Conductive tape ?
Please watch the latest video for the faq and install guide.
Are you going to install the 90 watt battery mod for the rog ally
I’m tempted but im not sure yet since i mostly use it plugged in or around the house. I probably will eventually once i see some thermals
I may try this. Seems like a great way to get temps for that down. Have you tried changing out the thermal paste? I saw a video showing the thermal paste in the unit isn’t great from the factory. Haven’t looked myself other than replacing the NVMe drive.
Thermal paste may drop apu temps 2c at best. Not worth voiding the warranty over currently. However this heatsink mod for the nvme will significantly improve longevity of the nvme and sustained read and write temps under stress.
Dude the paste on the APU is great. It isn't even paste, it's a Honeywell phase-change pad. I've seen liquid metal having zero benefit. If you want your temps down, limit it to 20w. I've found incredibly small FPS gains going from 20w to 40w but temps went 70 to 95
Thanks for the vid, really informative! Could you leave a link to the 2tb drive from Aliexpress, just want to use the same seller and avoid any hunting for a good one? Thanks!
Honestly since it’s been so long I would snag something on Amazon now that prices have come down on nvme drives. Drop by the discord I’ll share links. UA-cam deletes them here
Hi, I have ordered one of those m.2 right angle adapter and a 4tb 2280 ssd (crucial p3 plus). I have also ordered a sabrent nvme heatsink. Can you please test. I think it won't be enough to cool the ssd. Also the cooler you showed in this vid in 2280 size. Will it fit, if I were to cut the plastic structures in between? Please make a video on that if its possible for you. Great stuff btw
Hey thanks. Check out my newer videos. I’ve been running the 2280 adapter for a while with an ekwb heatsink. My handheld diy backplate videos should show it off well. Also I’m editing a video now that goes in depth on the right tips that can help
Hey man, thank you for the video. I just installed the heat sink and now my 1TB SSD won’t go above 63C on a 2 min write stress test with crystal mark, maybe I can get better temps with the pads you recommended but I used an extra one from my EK gpu waterblock. I also put a zip tie just to be safer
The zip tie may put too much pressure under it. No need to do it if you used the same size. Check out it my new mods video for some tips All of MY ROG Ally Mods + How I clone my drives with one button! Feat. Yottamaster NVME Duplicator

Hey !!! I followed your video and installed the same size heat sink on my Ally but I have the Jasaux rgb back plate and I can confirm it does not fit. It's extremely close and you can get the back plate snapped together but it pushes on the heatsink enough that it actually leaves the M1 button non-functional because it warps the plate a bit 😢
I currently have the 2280 mod done and the ekwb heatsink and it fits perfect and works perfect.
Excellent discovery. Have you tested orientation of the fins, horizontal vs vertical? Based on fan intake position and the slots in the rear of the Ally, a horizontal orientation may cause the least amount of airflow reduction.
The current placement is the one that makes the most sense to me and works the best imo vertically gives the best natural heat dissipation and flow
You are placing the heatsink and thermal pad on the ssd and that's it ? can i get rid of the plastic protector? Am watching lots of videos i already ordered the 25x25 by 10 and the g lid thermal pad.
Yeah ditch the black flap for the ally it traps heat
@@cppctek i don't know if this normal am not an expert really but i followed a tutorial on how to install it and i freaked my life when i tried to turn it on it was not turning on i unplugged battery press for 30 sec finally I tried to open it plugged and it work, it is normal? I hope i didn't force the connector of the battery too much while it wasn't necessary, everything seems to work but am afraid i touched the thermal pad too much with my hands, but now non issues so far, i grinded a corner of my heatsink to make it fit better, i hope i did it well xd.. the installation is simple but am sacred i damaged something without knowing
Hello, good afternoon, what is the model or name of the Screwdriver that you are using in the video?
Hey it’s an arrow max on Amazon ! Stop by and see my new mod videos and cod ban videos. You don’t wanna miss them if you haven’t see them
great video
Thanks. ! I have tons more mods you should check out if like this one. Also more coming.
Would you suggest going to 24 or 32 gb of ram . I was gonna send mine off for like 300$ but you cant udate the bios after the install . Thats what has me on the fence but they should be done with good bios updates. I really dont want to buy the X but want the ram 😂
Wait for the full reviews come out comparing the ally x to the ally og. Also have you ever seen benchmarks for the ally upgrade? I sure haven’t. It’s extremely sus to me why we haven’t got a flood of videos proving the success. That’s the biggest and easiest way to convince people to buy the ram mod and would increase sales soooooooooo much. Massssssive incentive for that… so I ask myself well… that’s obviously going to increase sales so why wouldn’t someone take 5 mins to benchmark a before and after shot?….. that’s like extremely sus.
I’ve got my theories on the upgrade but I can’t prove it. What I can prove is that one of the guys who was also doing the ram upgrades was having major issues … several things occurred. 1: he had a bad batch of chips 2: having a bad batch of chips means he had to solder and desolder the ram several times till he found good chips. Boards sometimes got destroyed because of being heated up too much. Silicon has its limits….. then he ended up closing up shop! Guy couldn’t do it anymore at a loss. So that I can prove, the other thing I can prove is another guy who does gpu repair made a video warning people about really bad memory chips coming out of China as well…. I’ve seen enough to make me compelled to not suggest it anymore until I see real proof 1: the device performs better in both benchmarks and games that can take advantage of more ram: 2: no ones having any long term issues. Bga soldering always is slightly risky and it’s a fine fine art. So just tread carefully. I think you’d be better off selling your ally for 400$, putting 300$ cash on top and buying an ally x. I also know armory crate tries to update bios automatically and what happens if you click it by accident? So many unknowns and no one in my community has done it so I can’t validate or support anything without proof
@cppctek Everything you said has been on m my mind . Especially the bios updates . I seen people asking Ole slick or who ever he is to post videos with no outcome . I seen you ask a guy about doing it for you maybe . So I figured you where thinking about it also . Thanks for you time sir ! I'll be sure to join your subscription
@youngjustin82 thanks a ton. I can confirm I have an ally x btw and I currently have 2 og ally’s. I will be posting side by side comparisons in games like mw3 and forza and more that I’ve always needed more ram for. I’ll be demonstrating perfect use case scenarios to take full advantage of more ram
Fantastic job
Thank you very much! Check out part two I uploaded last night that will help you with the install much better
Does one of those little fin 25x25x10 heatsinks fit in a steamdeck as well?
No it won’t
I'm gonna buy a new SSD for my Ally but I don't have small screwdrivers to open up the unit and I'm afraid something I randomly buy will strip the screws on my device can you let me know what screwdriver you used to take yours apart by any chance?
I used a cheap Amazon electronics screwdriver repair kit for about 10$ on Amazon. Theres a ton of diff ones between 10-20$. Just a Phillips head but like an 0 or 00 size
Can i use this with the handheddiy backplate
Yes most definitely. Works great
Sorry (new here) did you remove the back buttons on purpose?
Yes my big fingers hate them and I never use them. Check out my new mods videos though
Is there heat sink for memory card? What is that cooling for battery?
This is a nvme hearsink. Check out the video and you will see. There’s no thermal solution for the sd card reader just upgrade the nvme and pretend the sd card don’t exist lol.
Do I also need to apply thermal glue or not?
No as mentioned you use the thermal pad
I thought wallpaper app stop working when you playing games to free up Resources😅
Will the DIY backplate fit? The mod.
Indeed it will 💕🤠
@cppctek thanks, do I have to cut the metal plate?
@hksrb25s16 not at all. I would not remove it.
I did it but i dont know why when ever i turn on turbo mode it always hit 95 temp 😢 any reason ?
Are you looking at the apu temps or the nvme temps. Where are you seeing 95c and how are you measuring it.
What electric screw driver are you using?

Will this work for a steam deck and if i find a thinner one?
I don’t know but there’s a few options out there I think
need a link for that screwdriver my dude
Why no one tried liquid metal on the chip? 🤔 i wanna try it
It won’t last long for one. Too much prep and risk comes into play with Liquid Metal. It’s not a good candidate for it nor would it give any impact on performance
@@cppctek do you think about something else? I mean, maybe a good termal paste instead of the oem?
I just went live last night. I re pasted with kingpin kpx. The best of the best paste. Dropped 3c and have zero performance difference. Unlike intel CPUs and Nvidia gpus, amd apus don’t scale with lower temps the same. I’ve shown it and several others including pc world channel on UA-cam. 300k subs. It’s not worth it. Zero gain + huge risk. It’s not worth voiding warranty
Will 1.5mm thermal pad fit ok?
It’s unlikely but it might. Check my part two I uploaded last night it will help you a ton
So I would place this on top of the SSD?
Correct
@@cppctek holy cow that’s a neat trick. Hmmm I might give it a try thanks for helping the community can’t wait to see more
@@cppctekI do have this black plastic type of material that originally came with the ROG can I put the heat sink on top of that also or do I remove the whole black thing covering the mother board? I noticed in your video you don’t have that black plastic thing at all
@@vegaf2011right. i would like to know if i should remove that black plastic or if i should keep it there.

So I have to remove the heat resistant pad completely right?
Heat resistant pad?
The big black pad that cover it. We have to peal it out to do eve else.
Don't do that's 😱😱😱
lol go see my other mods on newer vids 😁
25 x 25 x 10 but ur link 35 x 35 x 10... i bought wrongly..lol
