@@Wolfgang790tech G-helper ... Aftter replacing Armoury crate & My Asus with G-helper, memory leakage problem gone. Also get rid of tons of useless services/processes from it.
Thing about crate is that it downloads bunch of other stuff you don't even have componenets for, and opens too many processes that just take up space. On top of it all, when you want to uninstall it there is still like 160mb of files left. My personal issues are that sometimes it just won't update the stuff, I would press update button, it goes thru whole process, and just fails at end. My mouse (ROG Gladius) used to freeze every 2 seconds for several minutes while i had it installed, RGB and auras don't even work, and support for it is non-existant.
I had a similar issue updating my Azoth. Just uninstalled the app, reinstalled and was able to update in my case. A lot of people have mentioned the useless downloads and processes. I don't really mind it cause my computer can handle it and I like the UI of the app so I keep it, but I understand it sucks for a lot of people
Armoury Crate is the worst, slow, crash, always running weird updates, restarts, takes forever to load, I'm right now finding alternatives that are more functional and stable. The big mistake I made was also having the CPU liquid cooling that can only work with armor crate. Avoid this software like the plague!
Im really wondering between Lenovo LOQ and ROG Strix g16, they have the same price same hardware and its just up to the build quality and software speaking of wich everyone says Armory crate is bad and Lenovo vantage is incredible, what are your toughts? Should i go fir the LOQ
I don't have much experience with Lenovo products, but when I see Lenovo demo units in stores, they always look more dirty than the asus laptops. Could be more people play around with them, could be the materials. I haven't had any issues with Armoury crate so from my experience go with the g16. If you have had Lenovo laptops in the past with no issues, then it's hard to tell
@@Wolfgang790tech Yea I'm coming from a Gigabyte G5 laptop and if you know the software is nonexistent, it's just 3 power modes and a fan control, and I don't really plan on tweaking with the wattage or clock speed so I guess I'll go for the ROG strix and it looks cooler too
Great video. I actually like Armoury Crate. I just got a new desktop, but unlike my Asus G14 laptop, when I look at the default fan choices such as Silent, Standard, Turbo and Full Speed, I can't tell after selecting one of those 4 which one is actually on. On my laptop, it would show you which one I selected, but on my desktop, I click on it, I hear the fans changing speeds, but it doesn't tell you just by looking at those 4 choices that you selected it. Is there some way to tell when you reboot your PC which fan default was previously selected? Do you have to select it every time you reboot? Thanks.
This is what I will upgrade on! Thank you Asus ROG always on the top. I been amazed to see a asus rog mouse that has 8000hz and 32000dpi witch deviation is %1 vs the razer 8khz 20000dpi who has 4-5% deviation
My big issue with Armoury crate is the use of edge. I always used edge and liked it. But when my ram 64GB of it was being used by edge. It would literally have my ram at 70-80%. Uninstalled it, switched to chrome, issues gone!
That's strange, I have edge, armoury crate, destiny 2 discord and steam open and only using 33%. I've noticed armoury crate is very inconsistent for people which is why people don't like it
Glad you like it. I use FanControl which runs cleaner and is more customizable than Armory Crate, for GPU I use Afterburner which has no competition, as for RGB, that's not a priority with my system. I used it in the past but it would always turn into a resource hog and the updates aren't reliable as I always ended up downloading them directly from the manufacturers website and installed them without the added bloatware that comes with Armory Crate. Looking for a new MB manufacturer anyway as I'm done with Asus after watching Jayz2Cents video.
Yeah, his vid has me on a strange spot. Cause they still make a lot of stuff I like. For example the PG32UCDM, 4k oled 240hz monitor. I looked knto the other options with the same specs, but Asus offered more features I wanted. I've had it for a month now, gonna male a vid soon.

Armoury Crate - a huge bloatware from Asus. Prone to memory leakage. Consumes considerable RAM. Comes with tons of other useless & less-useful services & software. After using it for 1.5 years finally found a capable alternative and replaced this bloatware with G-Helper. With G-helper you can do all usefull stuffs of armoury crate + My Asus App. My sincere thanks to the developers of this free opensource app.
If you press silent mode on the fans settings on the first page that you showed do they stay silent permanently or like normal fans just speed up when needed to keep the system cooled
They do kick in if necessary, but the curve is a little slow. Depending on your task, the CPU could overheat before the fans kick in enough. So it's more fore very specific moments when you want silence
Hi. I installed Armoury Crate and my dashboard is NOTHING like what I see in your video. I have a huge AD promoting ROG wallpaper, and four panels: Game Launcher, Aura Sync, Scenario Profiles and My Profile. Creating a new profile gives me the options to configure Aura Sync, Lighting Effects, Sonic Studio 3 and Clear Cache. That's it. All I wanted to do was control my fan speeds easily as shown in the video and I see nothing in my Armoury Crate install that allows this. Do you have any ideas as to what this is about?
Yes, 2019 ROG STRIX GL504G - I've already replaced the fans once due to bad bearing noise/squeal - my gaming center software no longer lets me control fan speed it is permanently stuck in "silent" mode and I'd like to run in full blast for while - thanks @@Wolfgang790tech

Tried using armory crate and it showed I was on a different version of BIOS than what the webiste has on it. And I dont know where it says to update that at in Armory Crate. I only see videos to use a usb than im planning do as of right now
Yeah, I can't find a way to do it in Armoury crate either. I thought it had a way but apparently not. Perhaps it's for security reason. Best is to follow a video with a USB and flash the BIOS
my god man flash the bios for tthis buggy ass program you should never have to do that asus needs to get there act together with there software its been years and years and the same problems exist they have zero problems us buying there hardware @@Wolfgang790tech
You can update the bios using another ASUS app called AI SUITE 3. You can also set fan curves, overlock, change your boot image and check your cpu usage etc. I seriously don’t know why they didn’t integrate everything into one.
Hello! Thanks for the presentation! This program would be good for me too. Unfortunately, I could not install it because some service is not working, the installation ends with an error message. How to install this? ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus, Ryzen 5 5500, Windows 10 Home 64-bit. There are average devices, no LED devices, only what is on the motherboard. Thanks if someone writes the solution!
I've heard a lot of people with issues installing / opening it. It should have been installed on your PC already from the start though since it's an Asus motherboard

Sounds like a plan. Strange it had an issue installing but still open. If you run into issues I'd try to reinstall and if there's more issues and don't need the software, just delete it

It should if it's Asus. But fan xpert will read the gpu temps regardless. I have founders edition 7900xtx and control my pc fans using aemoury crate with no issues
Armory crate is so slow to open that when it malfunctions and my RGB isn't working on bootup, it is quicker to reboot my computer than it is to open armory crate and enable my RGB. What a bloated POS program. Often I would open it and it forces me to update on top of waiting forever just to enable said RGB that was otherwise working any other time I use my computer.
The computer would prefer to use the cpu, unless it's processing graphics. But there are software like the Nvidia control panel, that let's you customise what specific process to dedicate to nvidia gpu. Usually you don't need to change the default settings. But you can play around with it. Either way use the latest graphics drivers from the main website.
Lmao how is everyone struggling using the software. I own the asus strix g16, and i have no problems using Armory Crate. Its kind of slow and buggy, but it doesnt significantly change the vibes
@@Wolfgang790tech it's probably not optimized with their PCs or specific model. I think Crate is supposed to be an upgrade to the ROG Gaming Center, which I had previously for the Strix GL553VE, which is mainly for laptops. So that's probably the reason?
Hello all you wonderful people So I am a bit of a noob in this realm. And I am looking for help. Is Armoury Crate invasive on my privacy? If so, how much does it make a difference? Will Armoury Crate put unnecessary excessive load on my laptop (Asus TUF)? Is G-helper the best alternative? Does uninstalling the ASUS stuff that G-helper says to uninstall mess up the laptop? (Like returning to your laptop after taking a break only to find that your laptop decided to p much shut down on it’s own despite being charged, and now you have to turn it back on, and pray to God that whatever you had open saved/is recoverable, or any issues with heat?) Thank you all so much for your goodness
Armoury crate does have some sketchy services running in the background, but I don't think it's too bad (anyone correct me if I'm wrong) It will put some load on your PC, depending on your hardware, it may be insignificant like it is for me (7900X3D + 7900XTX + 32GB ram) I have not felt the need to use alternatives to armoury crate so I couldn't tell you. Uninstalling it should not do anything negative to your PC. I Uninstaller it to try to fix the one bug I've had, reinstalled and fixed my issue. However I'm on a desktop, you're on a laptop so things may be diferent. Hope it helps
@@Wolfgang790tech I know you already answered; thank you so so very much kind sir I understand that more details can help so Maybe this might help someone… Here is a lil more embarrassing detailed version of a part of my query: Does uninstalling the ASUS stuff that G-helper says to uninstall mess up the laptop? (Like returning to your laptop after taking a break only to find that your laptop decided to p much shut down on it’s own despite being charged (if I came back to my laptop within minutes, np, but if more than an hour or so, every time it would shut down), and now you have to turn it back on (hit the power button and have it boot up when I should have just been able to click a button and have all my work right there as I left it before sleep/hibernation), and pray to God that whatever you had open saved/is recoverable, or any issues with heat?) I went to tech support from MicroCenter several times for the same issue. They tried multiple things. One of which was taking my hard drive out and putting into a new same model laptop. Another was changing the settings of hibernate and sleep. Another was some Windows issue testing (they actually found a problem with windows and that’s why they decided to take the hard drive out and put into a new same model laptop from off the shelf. The problem yet persisted and in the end they p much said to just get a brand new same model laptop with store credit and start anew like total clean slate. Meaning I have to set up everything all over again and that took me days!! (this is considering I have my files backed up to an external to transfer over) … And I have work to do rn!!! So now I’m trying to resolve this concern and avoid having to deal with this issue any longer I can’t it anymore it’s been weeks and it’s affecting my health with where I’m at rn.

With G-helper you can do all usefull stuffs of armoury crate + My Asus App. My sincere thanks to the developers of this free opensource app.
@@Wolfgang790tech thank you for the reply, i think i'm gonna use the software for a while and see if i like it or not since mostly my setup is asus.
If you press silent mode on the fans settings on the first page that you showed do they stay silent permanently or like normal fans just speed up when needed to keep the system cooled
They do kick in if necessary, but the curve is a little slow. Depending on your task, the CPU could overheat before the fans kick in enough.
So it's more fore very specific moments when you want silence
If my steam games are slow should I add them to my armoury crate library? I think it optimizes them...
Hmmm I don't know if thar happens. It may play with settings or prioritize the game but I have no clue
@@Wolfgang790tech I'm gonna edit NVIDIA control panel. All I'm trying to do is stay at 60fps. Nothing fancy
Hi. I installed Armoury Crate and my dashboard is NOTHING like what I see in your video. I have a huge AD promoting ROG wallpaper, and four panels: Game Launcher, Aura Sync, Scenario Profiles and My Profile. Creating a new profile gives me the options to configure Aura Sync, Lighting Effects, Sonic Studio 3 and Clear Cache. That's it. All I wanted to do was control my fan speeds easily as shown in the video and I see nothing in my Armoury Crate install that allows this. Do you have any ideas as to what this is about?
Real quick, gotta make sure, you do have a Asus device right?
yes, a 2019 STRIX GL504 GM - my Asus Rog software stopped allowing me to control my fan so I've been looking for a solution - thanks @@Wolfgang790tech
Yes, 2019 ROG STRIX GL504G - I've already replaced the fans once due to bad bearing noise/squeal - my gaming center software no longer lets me control fan speed it is permanently stuck in "silent" mode and I'd like to run in full blast for while - thanks

armory crate is bloatware, just uninstall it..if u want to tune your pc, better tune it inside bios rather than using armory
It’s great and the only time I’ve had a issues is when I switched to am5
Nice
Specially right now when I cant install it and getting error 602,Not gonna format my pc for 4rd time to get same error.Well nothing What we can do
Yeah. Its strange why so many people have issues. Probably cause of how many extra stuff it includes. Try g helper
I would advise against installing it!
I have had it for years, in the begining it was fine (Been running a Z 390 F Rog Strix). Until after 3 years of having it installed it literally killed my PC. "Critical_process_died" BSOD and i could not get it off my ssd, so i had to completely reset my windows! This cost me hours of my time and it is extremely hard to get off your system, once it is on there!
Check the forums, Asus does not give a fuck about the issues this software causes sadly. Even if the software does fine in the begining, it will start causing problems with some update they bring out. Yeah it is a good utility tool, but the risk is not worth it!!!
Tried using armory crate and it showed I was on a different version of BIOS than what the webiste has on it. And I dont know where it says to update that at in Armory Crate. I only see videos to use a usb than im planning do as of right now
Yeah, I can't find a way to do it in Armoury crate either. I thought it had a way but apparently not. Perhaps it's for security reason. Best is to follow a video with a USB and flash the BIOS
my god man flash the bios for tthis buggy ass program you should never have to do that asus needs to get there act together with there software its been years and years and the same problems exist they have zero problems us buying there hardware @@Wolfgang790tech
You can update the bios using another ASUS app called AI SUITE 3. You can also set fan curves, overlock, change your boot image and check your cpu usage etc. I seriously don’t know why they didn’t integrate everything into one.
Hello! Thanks for the presentation! This program would be good for me too.
Unfortunately, I could not install it because some service is not working, the installation ends with an error message.
How to install this?
ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus, Ryzen 5 5500, Windows 10 Home 64-bit.
There are average devices, no LED devices, only what is on the motherboard.
Thanks if someone writes the solution!
I've heard a lot of people with issues installing / opening it. It should have been installed on your PC already from the start though since it's an Asus motherboard
@@Wolfgang790tech 😆 The configuration is completely new. One day. I just bought the motherboard. I installed Windows yesterday. I installed the drivers from the CD.
@@Wolfgang790tech 😄 Installed successfully. I deleted the faulty one and then downloaded the latest version. Just in case. I tried again... and then it worked. I've already started using it. I updated the drivers with it. Thank you for your attention!
Oh nice! I had heard other people try that and it didn't work out. All the credit goes to you, I wasn't sure how to fix it!

Ai suite 3 is what i replaced it with. i had insane issue for me at least with the amd 7950x and asus hero motherboard
Can you do more than just bios update with ai suite? I've only used it once for a bios update then went back to using bios flashback cause I find it easier.
i have the rog strix g10dk and it dont look like that. could it be the MB difference?
It could be, or yours may be different since your PC is prebuilt, mine is custom. Not sure though
I just installed it and I had an installing problem but when I opened the app it is working fine. I don't know maybe if I run into a problem I'll uninstall it
Sounds like a plan. Strange it had an issue installing but still open. If you run into issues I'd try to reinstall and if there's more issues and don't need the software, just delete it
What version is this? Why don't I have the same feature like you do? :(
As of now it's 5.7.9 a lot of features may change depending on the hardware you have. I have a mouse keyboard and motherboard from Asus
why i dont have the audio tab on my armoury crate app?
I don't think I have an audio tab. If you mean on the left menu, it's a scenario menu.
Can you do a video on the best settings for the g14 2024?
I would like to, but it's kind of rough if I don't own one to try it
I need help it wont show my CPU cores, fans speeds, power usage or the cpu frequency
First thing first, I gotta ask if you're using an Asus laptop or motherboard? I don't know if it works on other brands
@@Wolfgang790tech Yea is a Rog motherboard republic of gaming
Hmmm, that's strange. And everything is updated?
@@Wolfgang790tech yes
Does anyone knows how to fix , Every time i install Armoury crate my pc windows 10 Freeze . Any solutions ? I do format , clean install , reinstall nothing helps !!!
Dang, what computer do you have?
@@Wolfgang790tech Ryzen 7 3800x
B450 f gaming II asus
rtx 3080 asus
32 ram GSkill
rmx 850 psu
I dont know why this Armoury crate application freeze my pc in random times !!
This program does not detect your graphics card, right?
It should if it's Asus. But fan xpert will read the gpu temps regardless. I have founders edition 7900xtx and control my pc fans using aemoury crate with no issues
PLEASE HELP I CANT SELECT ANY OTHER THAT AIO PUMP. I PRESSED SILENT BUT THEN I PRESSED AUTO TUNING AND I CANT GET IT TO SILENT
Have you tried reconnecting the pump port
Armory crate is so slow to open that when it malfunctions and my RGB isn't working on bootup, it is quicker to reboot my computer than it is to open armory crate and enable my RGB. What a bloated POS program. Often I would open it and it forces me to update on top of waiting forever just to enable said RGB that was otherwise working any other time I use my computer.
Dang, that's rough. Have you used alternatives?
how do i know if the power savinng is on or of
It should be on the home page when you open it in armoury crate
How to fix the high cpu usage
I don't think you can "fix" it. I have a 12 core cpu so I don't notice the cpu usage. Probably yhe best fix is to Uninstall it XD
The computer would prefer to use the cpu, unless it's processing graphics. But there are software like the Nvidia control panel, that let's you customise what specific process to dedicate to nvidia gpu. Usually you don't need to change the default settings. But you can play around with it. Either way use the latest graphics drivers from the main website.
Lmao how is everyone struggling using the software. I own the asus strix g16, and i have no problems using Armory Crate. Its kind of slow and buggy, but it doesnt significantly change the vibes
It works better on laptops. On my desktop it's fine, but it seems most people have issues with it
@@Wolfgang790tech it's probably not optimized with their PCs or specific model. I think Crate is supposed to be an upgrade to the ROG Gaming Center, which I had previously for the Strix GL553VE, which is mainly for laptops. So that's probably the reason?
Hello all you wonderful people
So I am a bit of a noob in this realm. And I am looking for help.
Is Armoury Crate invasive on my privacy? If so, how much does it make a difference?
Will Armoury Crate put unnecessary excessive load on my laptop (Asus TUF)?
Is G-helper the best alternative?
Does uninstalling the ASUS stuff that G-helper says to uninstall mess up the laptop? (Like returning to your laptop after taking a break only to find that your laptop decided to p much shut down on it’s own despite being charged, and now you have to turn it back on, and pray to God that whatever you had open saved/is recoverable, or any issues with heat?)
Thank you all so much for your goodness
Armoury crate does have some sketchy services running in the background, but I don't think it's too bad (anyone correct me if I'm wrong)
It will put some load on your PC, depending on your hardware, it may be insignificant like it is for me (7900X3D + 7900XTX + 32GB ram)
I have not felt the need to use alternatives to armoury crate so I couldn't tell you.
Uninstalling it should not do anything negative to your PC. I Uninstaller it to try to fix the one bug I've had, reinstalled and fixed my issue. However I'm on a desktop, you're on a laptop so things may be diferent.
Hope it helps
@@Wolfgang790tech thank you so much for your response and sharing all that, it really does help and mean lot!!
@@Wolfgang790tech
I know you already answered; thank you so so very much kind sir
I understand that more details can help so
Maybe this might help someone…
Here is a lil more embarrassing detailed version of a part of my query:
Does uninstalling the ASUS stuff that G-helper says to uninstall mess up the laptop? (Like returning to your laptop after taking a break only to find that your laptop decided to p much shut down on it’s own despite being charged (if I came back to my laptop within minutes, np, but if more than an hour or so, every time it would shut down), and now you have to turn it back on (hit the power button and have it boot up when I should have just been able to click a button and have all my work right there as I left it before sleep/hibernation), and pray to God that whatever you had open saved/is recoverable, or any issues with heat?)
I went to tech support from MicroCenter several times for the same issue. They tried multiple things. One of which was taking my hard drive out and putting into a new same model laptop. Another was changing the settings of hibernate and sleep. Another was some Windows issue testing (they actually found a problem with windows and that’s why they decided to take the hard drive out and put into a new same model laptop from off the shelf. The problem yet persisted and in the end they p much said to just get a brand new same model laptop with store credit and start anew like total clean slate. Meaning I have to set up everything all over again and that took me days!! (this is considering I have my files backed up to an external to transfer over) … And I have work to do rn!!! So now I’m trying to resolve this concern and avoid having to deal with this issue any longer I can’t it anymore it’s been weeks and it’s affecting my health with where I’m at rn. I just want to do right please if anyone can help it would mean so much I’m sorry if this is stupid
Thank you all so much for your goodness
Yeah ima j go with G-Helper
I don’t like how Armoury Crate seems like it’s begging for my data
The bloatware aspect of it
All this back n forth
Pros and cons
TrynA figure out
Virtually no time lol
And the perks of G-helper just win on levels like so efficient and clean
- light program (not heavy), one quick keyboard button for many uses, yes

why make a review/tutorial about a product when you have 50% of the features used? RGB for this app is dang near the bulk of the features. I just don't think this is your lane my guy/zim/zer/them/it/thing.
Provably not. Like I say in the vid I don't care about RGB and still think the app gives a lot od features so, I find it hard to believe lighting is 50% of the app, there aren't even that many lighting options
oh i just recognized that i have more options for coolers
Nice
Sure lil bro, that’s why on my 5000€ pc build which almost uses only rog and nzxt parts I have an issue with ASUS hal central error code 4191, never going to buy any asus rog parts I hate that software
That's strange. Did you instal armoury crate first, or the NZXT software? I figure it's some driver issue or something, but I don't know how much troubleshooting you've done
except RGB you dont need this shit. i wish i had an alternative for that. and all the other things u can do from bios
That's true, but a lot of people would be afraid to tinker in BIOS unless there's a guide specifically for their mix of hardware.
Have you tried signal RGB? I don't like rgb so I just turn it off in Armoury Crate.
THERE IS NO DEVICES HELP ME
I BOUGHT ASUS ROG GLADIUS III BUT NO DRIVER PLEASE HELP
Probably an annoying troubleshooting question, but do you have asus devices connected to your computer
@@Wolfgang790tech yea i just bought new
Is that why my cpu is always at max frequency?
That could be due to several reasons but it's very unlikely your COU is going max frequency all the time.
@@Wolfgang790tech possibly misdisplay then
Armoury crate won't let my laptop charge
Is it an asus laptop? It may have another app or a funcion to limit the % of charge to not degrade it while plugged kn for gaming or so
@@Wolfgang790tech im using an rog flow x13, and yeah it seems that atleast for me something that comes with the Armoury crate(that I can't remove without deleting armoury crate itself) is the cause for my charging problems, after deleting armoury crate i never had charging problems
Better than my garbage
Yes it is
Heck no. Armory Crate is the worst software ever written. Slow, buggy and did I mention SLOW. Does not matter if you have a low tier or insane top tier pc, it's so insanly slow. Loooong instltime. Buggy and crappy. Even worse than Asus RMA. Absolute worst thing about Asus products.....
The installation time was pretty slow, but it runs fine on my pc
worst software ever made
I know it has instalation issues, but it's definitely not the worst ever made
Absolutely!!!!!!!!
its so good
Right? I don't mean to invalidate other people's experience, but it works with no issues for me
What do you like about it?
no its not it crashes all my games
That's really strange, what pc/parts do you have?
@@Wolfgang790tech ryzen 7700x, rog 4070, Asus prime b650, 16gb ddr5. I was so confused I was only crashing in games no benchmarking software. people need to delete this software its legit a virus.
@@Wolfgang790tech ryzen 7700, aus tuf 4070, 16gb ddr5, asus prime b650 mobo, did not have issues with it tell switching to a asus gpu. Others have had similar issues online. I was a step away from RMA but found this software was causing the issues.
@@Wolfgang790tech not to mention the amount of bloat the software has
Yeah, a lot of people hate it. I'm just saying it's better than you think. For some reason it causes several issues for many people, but I've had a flawless experience (I only have asus mobo and peripherals which might be why I have no issues)
it literally broke my computer the first day i tried to use it. it fucking sucks!
How did it break your co.puter? I just had my power cables break before this "awful software" did anything to mine
armoury crate sucks, its ruining my movies, games etc shaky, flickering, black screen
Wow that's strange. So before you installed it and after deleting it, you don't have those issues?
if you played games, you would be deleting this video... Armoury Crate SUCKS
I do, but don't notice any impact on my performance. I do have a beefy pc tho so that's why I don't notice it
The UI is so bad barely anyone bothers with this app.
True. I think I've just gotten used to it and don't mind jt
its bloatware
Probably
