Push 3 Upgradability with Third-Party Parts
While it is technically possible to upgrade Push 3 components with third-party parts, using parts that aren’t from Ableton could be hazardous and will void your warranty. We cannot guarantee that any third-party parts will be fully compatible with Push.
Note: Do not contact Ableton Support for guidance or specific details beyond the provided information and tips, for example, the chip BIOS setting. As we are unable to support you with modifying your Push 3 with third-party parts.
It is necessary to have all of the following four standalone components either installed or removed for your Push to work.
Caution
Two thermal pads can easily be damaged and should be replaced if damaged:
- Between the heatsink and backplate
- Between the backplate and processor
Without the thermal pads, the processor can get hot very quickly and start reducing the overall performance of the Push.
Note: Do not turn your Push on if you only have some parts installed or the backplate hasn’t been screwed on properly.
Processor:
