repair ASUS M32CD - Installing 8GB RAM and GeForce GTX 960 2GB
141 comments
2023, excellent video, my question is,is it worth doing this upgrade on this since this computer is not windows 11compatible ? or should I start from scratch?
How do I know if mine needs ddr3 or ddr4?
Any idea where to get replacement parts? I need a replacement FIO/M32CD/DP_CARD
I know this video is 3 years old, but I just bought this computer for $100. Looked brand new! PC $100
2nd stick of 8gb 2133 Ram $22
Thermal paste $3
2 Arctic fans $15
500gb evo 850 SSD $60
650w EVGA PSU $54
SATA cable $3 4 pin cable splitter $3
8 pin connector cable $6
GTX 1070 Founders Edition $180
Total of $446 💪🏻 About to grab a 6700k for $150 or a 7700k for $250 to take everything to the next level. This computer’s OEM motherboard is just the best and the case looks amazing!!
Hi Basic Zombie. I got lucky as well. With a buy from a neighbor for $85. I want to upgrade the motherboard. Which ones should I look for, for this type of computer ASUS M32CD. Thanks for your help!
greggiemoore any micro atx board will fit. I think a full size tax board will fit too, but it’ll be cramped. Get a board with the right amount of fan headers and RGB headers if you want them. Make sure it’s the same socket as your current cpu if you’re re-using it. Mine had an i5 6400. I upgraded to a brand new i7 6700k for $150 (which is a steal!!) It’s the same socket and generation, so no mods needed. Basically just make sure the ram and cpu specs match up to your current board if you’re re-using everything. Honestly though, the stock board is amazing for a prebuilt. My M32CD-AS51 has 2 usb2.0, 2 USB3.0 and 2 USB3.1 on the back with 2 USB3.0 on the front. I installed 2 case fans using a splitter due to this board only having one case fan header. For me, there’s nothing this board doesn’t have that I need. $650 all in on this prebuilt and I can play any game, do seamless VR and edit videos just like the $1000+ PC. And I have a dvd drive.. so the H110-I/M32CD/DP_MB is a great motherboard!
Can any brand of memory work on the Asus?
Hugh Betcha any “brand” yes, but they really need to be the same if you use 2 or 4 sticks. I wouldn’t run 2 different brands or speeds if you can help it. Make sure it’s DDR4 and this motherboard can only make use of 2133, so any higher speed would be money wasted. It also can only make use of 16gb, so don’t go buying two 16gb or four 8gb sticks. If you’re planing on installing 16gb, get two 8gb sticks of the same brand 2133mhz
@@abasiczombie. Thanks bro!
What if the computer doesn’t recognize the extra ram. I have the exact computer and bought an exact second stick of the 8gb. So I have 2 8gb sticks of 2133 Hynix DDR4. Went into msconfig and the maximum ram setting is in ticker. Went to BIOS boot screen and it only shows 8gb. Under msinfo32 also only shows 8gb. Any help?
Nevermind. I just tried the 2nd stick by itself as no go, so that stick is bad. Thanks
Would an upgrade of CPU's cooling fan (liquid) and of the power supply enable me to mount a GTX 1080?
Daniele Molinari honestly, it depends on your CPU Bc better cooling might not be enough depending on what you have and will just bottleneck your GPU
Jarred Lima I mounted a 1070 Ti (literally almost a 1080). I was like “YESS YEEES AHAHAH”. CPU i7 6700 fan cooled, Corsair RM550x, SSD 1 TB, 16 GB RAM.
However, GPU was bigger than case, there’s a bump on the side 🤣
is there a list of everything that's compatible for this computer?
I have the version of this that has gtx 960 and 550w psu, can i put 1060 in this?
NumBO x what cpu do you have? Most likely yes but it depends on how much watts your other parts take up. If your not sure then go to psu calculator and check
can i install a gtx 1050ti in this pc? if yes, then how??
how many extra slots are there for the PC memory if anyone knows?
KadoomersSmashGaming in case you are still wondering there are 2 ram memory slots and 1 pci express x16 for a graphics card. must be ddr4 ram

Hi, I have the same computer as yours (M32CD) and I would like to know if it is possible to change sticking box that I have no USB connector on the motherboard ...
can you suggest some pci cables for a geforce gtx 760? i got a card used but dont have the cables for it. links would be most appreciated if you respond
mine came with a gtx 960 2gb can i upgrade to a gtx 1080?
Any list of more recent cards that are under "120W" rating? All I want is 4k @ 60Hz HDMI, which the M32CD does not provide (it provides 4k @ 30Hz)
Well, now yes! the 1050 can, I think
On my M32CD I have 3 ram slots but TWO are filled... I never added any ram so why do I have two ram slots filled instead of 1?
do i need to upgrade my memory in order to add the graphics card? i get that it's not that expensive but i'd like t save my money and only get a graphics card
Would I need to buy a better psu unit if I get the Gtx 1050??
IcyGamez naw
Bought a xfx rx 460 dual fan 4gb didn't work with my power supply computer didn't even recognise it
This 960 works with a 300w or do u need to upgrade power supply ?
Would this PC benefit from lower latency RAM? The RAM it comes with has CL11 but there is CL9 and CL8 RAM available at the same clock speed of 1600 MHz. Are they compatible and would they make much of a difference? I'm especially curious about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148657
No, that wouldn't make any difference that you'll ever notice.
