🛠️ Mod Post GHelper/Armoury Crate Megathread

26 Upvotes

This post has been made to clear up any questions or inconveniences with both of the software control apps.

The old PSA thread has been archived. Click here to go to it.

You can now summon the new GHelper instalation guide by typing "!ghelper" (without "") in the comment section below.

GHelper is an open source alternative maintained by seerge (u/Beginning_Living4052, also has their own flair) which aims to be a lightweight and bug free alternative to the dumpster fire that is Armoury Crate. Note: We are not forcing you to switch, but it is a good thing to do if you are experiencing issues related to Armoury Crate.

Some terminology before we begin:

  • GH = GHelper

  • AC = Armoury Crate

  • A/C = Alternating Current (aka the charger/wall brick)

  • Open Source = the app's code is available for everyone to view and modify.

  • dGPU = Dedicated GPU (aka Radeon or RTX)

  • iGPU = Integrated GPU (aka CPU graphics)

Starting this point onward, I will update this thread to include Frequently Asked Questions.

It is also a great idea to join our official r/asustuf discord server! Click here to join!.

FAQ

Here's a link to the already existing FAQ on Github, but other questions will be added in this megathread too.

A: Is GHelper safe? Windows Defender said it might be a virus.

B: GHelper is safe, in fact, you can check out the app's code on Github. It is open source. If Windows Defender has suspicions, it's because the app isn't signed. (look up that on google.)

A: How do I set up custom fan curves?

B: tba.

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) CPU hitting 96°C in Turbo mode. Is this normal?

Post image
36 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm rendering a 4K video in DaVinci Resolve on my ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506LH. It's a 5-year-old laptop with an i5-10300H, GTX 1650 and 16GB RAM.

Is 96°C on the CPU safe for render, or should I be worried?

Is it normal for an older laptop like this to handle 4K rendering?

Any tips to bring temps down?

I've been using Turbo mode to get the render done faster, but I don't want to damage the laptop. Thanks in advance!

✅️ Solved Tuf overheating fixed

47 Upvotes

Update, focus on PTM7950 primary solution

Finally found why my fx506 was overheating even i removed undervolting and power limitations didn't exceed 90c. Before without thise applying will be fixed in 95c.

Just use heating tape or anything can handle heat and close the openings gap between the fan and radiator. You will feel the air coming stronger, gap wasting the fan air pressure.

Update: i used PTM7950 and the overheating totally eliminated even without undervolting or power limits,

FYI, using any paste with over heat and pressure it will spread outside the contact area, thats why PTM is best as when its cold will harden again.

🔥 New TUF Device Bought My First Laptop!ASUS TUF A15, Any Tips? 👀

Post image
60 Upvotes

Hi…
This is my first laptop,I’ve had desktop PCs since I was a kid, but this is my first time using a laptop. I bought it about two weeks ago.

Ryzen 7 8845HS
16GB DDR5
RTX 3050 4GB

I’ve already bought a Fantech NC22 cooling pad.
I don’t game all the time, but I play Warzone for around 3–4 hours a day. Without the cooling pad, my CPU and GPU temperatures usually range from 76°C to 85°C. With the cooling pad, the temperatures seem to stay below 80°C.

The only downside I’ve noticed so far is the battery life. I wanted the 90Wh battery, but it was out of stock, so I ended up getting the 48Wh version.

I’ve also seen a lot of people on Reddit saying that Armoury Crate is terrible. Is it worth uninstalling it and using G-Helper instead?

Since this is my first laptop, I’d love to hear your advice on anything I should do to improve performance, manage temperatures, extend battery life, or keep the laptop in good condition.

Thanks in advance❤️.

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Asus G513Q no power (loading indicator) and not turning on

1 Upvotes

My laptop was working fine yesterday, yesterday evening I plugged in the power supply and saw there isn't a loading indicator and pressed the power button, after pressing the button the loading indicator turned on and I could start the notebook.

Today same issue, plugged in, no loading indicator.

But this time the notebook didn't start or the indicator turned back on.

Things I tried :

- press the power button for 40+ seconds without anything plugged in, plug it back or try to turn it on without anything plugged in

- plugged out the battery from the mainboard for a few minutes, back onto it

Nothing did help, tested all sorts of button presses, its completely dead.

I don't think its the power supply because the laptop was at 100% and without power supply its also not starting.

Anything else I can test and do ? Or is it just rip Mainboard and rip money ?

Need Help! (Software) Seeking resolution on driver selection

1 Upvotes

My PC has been having massive instability issues and performance loss. I've been troubleshooting for 2 weeks without any success. The motherboard is a b760 TUF D4.

I've reinstalled windows many times (like at least 6 times) and every time I installed the serial io driver from my mobo web page, my PC would become unstable and slow.

I initiated a RMA with Intel on the cpu under the presumption my cpu was degrading.

I also ordered a different brand mobo to try the cpu out (arrives Sunday).

However, today I thought I'd give this one last kick of the can and discovered something called Asus Driver hub.

This is where my confusion lies.

All the drivers on driver hub are newer versions than what is directly on my mobo webpage. This is very odd obviously because why would the mobo webpage be out dated, but also because when I installed the ,"old drivers", windows always read them as fully up to date.

I guess I'm just really confused by how complicated getting drivers seems to be. On top of that, I'm also wondering why I had to literally troubleshoot my PC and look for answers in order to finally stumble on Asus Driver hub.

All in all, I'm discouraged with Asus but I hope this post helps anyone else experiencing system instability.

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Slow speeds on my TUF A16

1 Upvotes

I recently bought a used Asus TUF A16 a couple months ago.
AMD Ryzen 9 270
32 GB Ram
RTX 5070 8GB
1TB SSD
Realtek 8852CE WiFi 6E

I’ve been having some problems with it in terms of the WiFi speed. I have 2 gig fiber internet at my home but I only get around 400 Mbps (WiFi connection). I understand that speed is probably still reasonable but I often times see that the speed will drop to 100 Mbps and below. Another thing is in my dorm room at university. I would sometimes get speeds as low as 1 Mbps. I originally just thought it was a problem with my dorm room(which it may still be) but now I’m questioning if it is also my laptop or the WiFi card. Any recommendations or advice?

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) TUF A16 (2025) Very Subtle Plastic Creak when opening/closing Lid, Is this just me?

3 Upvotes

I've owned mine for 3 months, and I've just noticed that there's a very slight sound whenever the lid is moved.

It's a barely audible creak, which i believe to be caused by the plastic chassis. So far, i haven't seen any parts messing up, but yeah, it's concerning.

Its had what i would consider light use, opening the lid 1-2 times a day from the center very carefully and overall handling it like a baby

Im still under warranty, but currently too busy to get it checked

So anyone else?
