Modder more than doubles Asus ROG Xbox Ally X's memory with massive 64GB RAM upgrade — advanced soldering and BIOS modification unlock more capacity

A modified Asus ROG Xbox Ally X with 64GB of memory.

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X, Microsoft’s first Xbox-branded gaming handheld, comes with 24GB of LPDDR5X memory, which is more than adequate for most use cases in this category. However, for users who want more headroom or plan to use the handheld as a hybrid portable desktop replacement, SlickBuys Mods and Repairs has successfully upgraded the system to a massive 64GB of RAM. This is the same modder who previously demonstrated their skills on the original ROG Ally by upgrading its memory from 16GB to 32GB.

In a detailed video, the modder has showcased the entire process of replacing the soldered 6GB Micron LPDDR5X 8533 MT/s memory packages with higher-density 16GB SK Hynix LPDDR5X modules. The process involves completely dismantling the ROG Xbox Ally X by undoing a bunch of screws to remove the back panel, followed by carefully removing the internal components, including the battery, SSD, joysticks, heatsink, and a bunch of ribbon cables.
