I did the same with mines right out the box. I never even turned it on. Only difference is I used a 512GB micro SD card I had laying around the house. I also ordered a low profile heat sink for it. But since I see you were able to get a beefier one on there I may do the same as well.

I have just a little under 10 TB in my device. It was worth every penny.

I’ve had a 4tb crucial P3 on my Onexplayer device without a heatsink and my drive temps don’t go above 65°C….

[mpbangamusic]

Dope vid, ill probably skip that extra thermal pad bit, that wire would be fine near the heatsink

[Roustermiller]

Did the same thing to mine, and I love it. My console might not turn on for a while lol

[scottgardener]

Thanks for answering my question about SSDs with big heatsinks fitting in this thing, and extra kudos on the tip about turning off Bitlocker encryption instead of having to look up a thing on Microsoft's services!

[SadeyJade]

Thx for a great video! Plz keep ‘em coming for the ROG setup, apps & emulation. 🌷

I recommend you simply wrap the battery wires with a small amount of electrical tape.
Placing a pad on top of the heatsink reduces airflow, and efficiency of the heatsink.

[chanceharvey]

I’ll say one thing. Take the thermal pad off the battery harness. The purpose of a thermal pad or paste is to transfer heat. So you may be running the risk of concentrating heat to those wires. I’m sure they’re only 20g-24g wires so the outer insulation is going to be small and have far less heat protection.

You can just use balena etcher to clone it

[Sanuske]

You don't need to clone this. If you are using a fresh drive and don't care about the data on it ROG bios has an option to download/install everything via wifi cloud. It's handy!

[Trevvyow]

Bro if ur really into upgrades then I might suggest for you to replace your cpu thermal paste with PTM790 pad or you could get into much challenging such as putting in liquid metal but take precautions first to avoid any damage to your ally x.

Love your vid keep posting Rog ally content for games and upgrades.

In theory i could use an ssd with built-in heatsink vs the way you did it right? 4tb ssd plus a shiney 2tb micro would def be beafy af

[GilbertoPaulo]

I don't understand one thing, what about warranty? Everybody speaks about changing the SSD card right out of the box. Doesn't that void the warranty??

[mrb]

Great video, The Power Connecter Scars me, could i just unplug the Battery cable from Battery its self, instead of the Fragile Connector ????

[crregazzamerone]

Thanks fornthe video. What cloning software did you use.

[pierrefitch]

what is the type of screw driver i need will go to hardware store to get today to open case and for the ssd screw ?

[MiltonRevis]

Updates ? Im thinking on doing the same process

[rabadysahy]

I went on here to see if the top left and top right screws on the back were also captive like the bottom middle screw. It seems that yours isn’t and I’m pretty sure every model only has the captive screw on the bottom middle on the back however, the other day I tried removing the back plate to take a look at my new X and for some reason, the top left and top right screw didn’t want to come out. I didn’t want to strip the screws so I stopped after a few tries, but it was clear that the top left and top right didn’t wanna come out when I held the console, and the other screws fell out. I also on the previous model and with the previous model as everyone knows the only captive screw was the bottom middle to which I’m sure is the same with the Allie X however, for some reason, mine left and right top don’t want to come out. This is stressing me out any help I’d appreciate it

What's the name of the 1 TB micro SD card
