Introdução

If your Asus TUF gaming FX705G laptop is constantly shutting down, had an increased number of error windows, freezing for no reason, or generally not running smoothly it might be a sign to replace your motherboard.

Motherboards are a very crucial part of laptops as they have the key functions of connecting all hardware components, distributing electricity, and housing connectors and slots for peripherals.

    Hey so the screws are two different lengths. This would be more helpful if you could point out which screws go in which sockets!

    Hi! I’m having a problem removing the cable in the first picture, can’t seem to figure out what to pull out. Can you help me?

    The cable ends in that long, flat piece circled. Flip up the locki g mechanism on top of it, and that long flat piece should slide right out!

    How hard was it to lift the heat pipe to get the back part of the fan housing out from under it? I have to do this to my fx 505dt which is almost identical with the same fans I have the fans but a nervous to do it. I have some experience, i have upgraded my own ram, hard drive , m.2 drive and my network card. I don't want to remove the heat pipes if I don't have to but it looks like you didn't have to is that correct? Thanks for any advice.

    You don't have to remove it, but it certainly can make it easier. If i remember correctly, the pipes are easy to remove, so long as you identify all of the screws. That said, you have much more experience than I did when I took this apart, no need to be nervous! You will do just fine.

    Tyler Lange -

    You will have to lift the pipes slightly to get the fan out, but removing them shouldn't be nessicarily.

    Tyler Lange -

    Could you clarify which is the GPU fan and which is the CPU fan.

    Thank You.

    If you are looking at the bottom of the laptop either the fans or the parts they cool are named where they plug into the motherboard. The designation of each fan should be in small white blocky font. Pretty sure the GPU is on the left and is marked as “GPU” or RADEON.

    But it doesnt really matter, the instructions are the same for both fans except the one has three screws and the other has two. Both should be replaced at the same time.
