ROG STRIX G835LR Install Second SSD

[dougfraz]

I intend to install a second SSD. I have watched a number of videos that show the existing SSD covered with a film over the top of the SSD,  more film wrapped around the SSD, and a thermal pad. I cannot find these parts anywhere on the ASUS site.  Any ideas?

Unfortunately, we do not sell parts for this component. If you need better SSD cooling performance, you may need to purchase compatible thermal pads or heat dissipation sheets on your own, paying attention to thickness and size. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

OK. But what is the correct thickness and size for the thermal pad?

I stacked multiple thermal pads to reach the original thickness and installed them under my SSD without the protective layer. It worked perfectly! The temperature is now lower than the laptop's stock SSD, which is impressive considering I added a PCIe 5.0 drive that naturally generates much more heat
