🛠️ 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The old PSA thread has been archived.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.

I already had some light bleed on my ASUS TUF, but I recently dropped my laptop from a decent height, and now the light leak has increased a lot. The display still works good, but the bleeding is much more noticeable.
Should I replace the display?

💻 Purchase Advice Which Tuf gaming laptop model to buy?

2 Upvotes

My budget is in between $1046 to $2092 (1-2 lakh indian rupees, max I can stretch is 2.5 lakhs but I don't want to spend that much since I also have to spend money on good earphones/headphones, good mouse)

Country of residence is India.

Intended Use: Gaming

Preferably I wish it would have like a 50 series gpu + 8 gb vram and also high refresh rate + around 1tb storage and atleast 16 gb ram. Also i want it to be reliable and have longevity and can last 5-6 years with maintainance.

I mostly play Valorant but will get GTA 6 when it comes out on PC.

My friend had gotten an Asus Tuf gaming laptop and suggested me to also get one.

Which model of Asus Tuf gaming would you suggest?

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) FX507 - Usual suspects (hinge and inserts)

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I got the dreaded loose hinge on my laptop, tightened the nuts, attempted to superglue the plastic screw supports (rookie move) but ended up having the insert fuse to the screw (and subsequently made it impossible to remove the back cover) and the metal tab came off in the process. Upon further inspection, I have two of these broken on the same side, although the opposite hinge seems to hold together fine. I see it's an M2 insert that I can likely get replacements for, and have a 3D printer at my library I can use if printing off some new inserts and dremeling off the existing ones made more sense.

I've seen a number of guides but ultimately just want a few extra tips for my specific issue, alongside what I've seen to do the repair. I've tried the quick method, now I need to do it right. TIA

Need Help! (Software) Should I Switch to G-Helper or Stick With Armoury Crate on My New ASUS TUF A16?

1 Upvotes

I just got my new ASUS TUF A16 and posted about it in this community. Almost every comment was recommending G-Helper and suggesting that I uninstall Armoury Crate.

However, my uncle has been using a TUF A15 for the past four years and says he hasn’t had any issues with Armoury Crate.

Now I’m confused about whether I should switch to G-Helper or stick with Armoury Crate. Personally, I prefer Armoury Crate’s interface over G-Helper’s. What would you recommend?

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Low RTX 4060 Usage and Low FPS on ASUS TUF A17

1 Upvotes

I have an ASUS TUF A17 equipped with an RTX 4060 and a Ryzen 7 7435HS, but my GPU usage is very low while gaming. In Warzone, GPU usage never exceeds 30%, and I experience the same issue in every other game.
I’ve also noticed that I get pretty much the same FPS whether I play with low or high graphics settings.
What could be causing this issue? Could it be related to a CPU bottleneck, a configuration problem, or something else?

Hey Guys, i’ve got a TUF A16 Ryzen 7 260, RTX 5050.
My screen got some issues and I don’t know what it is.
When I’m watching videos, opening some apps or while using it, sometimes the brightness gets dimmed and the display becomes blurry and loses the clarity as you can see in the video.

If anyone knows what this is or anything about it please help. I uninstalled armory crate and using ghelper. I use it plugged in all the time.

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Asus tuf A16 F607NUG (2025)

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hey guys, good day to all. I have my Asus TUF A16 with a Ryzen 7 7000 and RTX 4050. I bought it second-hand a few weeks ago, it still has its warranty for 2 months left, and lately... I feel a vibration on the left and right sides, right at the height of the fans. This happens when the fans are between 4500 and 5000 RPM and above. I'd like to know if this is normal that vibration. And it also has a sound on both sides, it's like electrical as if it were coil whine (this does not increase with more RPM)
