🛠️ Mod Post GHelper/Armoury Crate Megathread
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The old PSA thread has been archived.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.

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.

✅️ Solved [FIX] I fixed my ASUS TUF F17 FX707ZM Laptop Wifi dissapearing (Intel AX201 160MHz wifi card)
I changed the SSD from Slot 1(directly on top of wifi card) to Slot 2 and been using for a few days and I think the issue is fixed for good!
I will suggest some ways to fix the wifi issue down below. You can try these methods and I hope it will also fix the issue.
I have owned ASUS TUF F17 FX707ZM 2022 model which has 16gb Ram, 1TB SSD and RTX 3060 6gb VRAM for the last 4 years. In the beginning the wifi was working fine but from the last 2 years, it started causing issues like dissapearing randomly and only after tempering with the wifi drivers, the issue was fixed but temporarily only.
Fixes:
- Hard Reboot the laptop by pressing and holding the power button for 20-30 seconds to flush out the electric discharge which builts overtime.
- Disabling/Updating/Uninstalling and Reinstalling the wifi drivers from the 'Device Manager' under the 'Network Adaptors' section and click on the Wifi Card(Intel or Mediatek) to get these options.
Download drivers from here: https://www.asus.com/in/support/download-center/ look up your laptop model from the 'Settings' and search for the drivers of your own laptop model.
NOTE - Before uninstalling the wifi drivers, first download the new drivers via wifi, ethernet or usb tethering and then install them.

- Network Reset option: Go to 'Settings', then go to 'Network & internet', then go to 'Advanced network settings' and look for 'Network Reset' option and click on Reset Now. It will restore the default settings and drivers for the wifi.

- [My FIX] Change the SSD from Slot 1 to Slot 2: If your wifi dissappears during gaming and heavy tasks where the laptop heats up much more than normal, then this is the only fix which will work. The Wifi card is placed directly under the SSD slot 1(bad design) and during heavy tasks, the SSD heats up which overheats the wifi card and causes it to stop working.
Simply change the SSD from slot 1 to slot 2 either yourself or from some repair centre like I did. After this, I have been using the laptop for the past few days the issue has not appeared for me again.

- Change the Wifi Card: If changing the SSD does not fix the issue, then its probably a faulty card and you need to replace it. But before that, check the architecture type of your wifi card if its PCIe(Key E & Key A) or CNVio2(Key E). You cannot put one type of card into another type and vice versa.
If its CNVio2(Key E) like AX201 then you have to replace it with the same card or with Intel AX211 wifi card.
If its PCIe(Key E & Key A) then you can replace it with the Intel AX200 or the AX210 wifi cards.


- Last option: Even if changing the wifi card does not fix the issue (which, in almost cases will be fixed by now) then the only option is to use an external wifi dongle like from TPLink or simply use Ethernet ;(
I really hope this can help someone bcoz I too was so frustrated with the wifi issue.

🔥 New TUF Device Late to the club but go in, Asus Tuf A18 rtx 5050
I'm a week late to post this but a week ago was my birthday & I got this Asus Tuf A18 rtx 5050 16gb.
I removed AC from the system for some reason having it installed made my screen flicker I was losing my mind and was upset that it was defect until I removed it & installed g - helper. It's fine now and everything neat. A week tried G-Helper then got itch to try AC again, same screen flickering so back to G-Helper and not going back. Thought I jumped too fast but it was right anyway.
I have a question, how do you all use it as a cpu ? I wanna use the laptop with a lid close, is that fine ? If it stays open it collects dust. It's mixed some say they keep the lid open or not but it depends on the model. Anyone with A series what's your thought ?
Also it catches finger print or other hand marks I believe if used longer, any precautions for this ?
Any other tips are also highly appreciated, Thank you!

🗨️ Discussion Gaming in ASUS TUF FX505DT in 2026
Hi, anyone here still playing in ASUS TUF FX505DT in 2026? I mostly playing valorant and league of legends, the league of legends is running smoothly but the valorant, its kinda fps dropping and stuttering sometimes. is there any reasons why? is there a fix? or no because the laptop itself is already old.

based on my research, the cause of stuttering is because of my dual channel ram of 8gb and 4gb, they're not or equal something like that.
sorry for my bad english lol

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Water into my laptop charger.
There was a thunderstorm in my city and a bit water got into my room. My laptop charger was on floor and a little amount of water got into the charging brick. Now when I turn on my laptop it wouldn't get charged. And when I plug in the charger to board, the brick's side part is conducting electricity and creating electric shock.
Is it repairable or need to be replaced?

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) 1 week of ASUS A16 TUF, I need word of advice!
I went from Dell inspiron 3511 (i5 1135g7 with Nvidia MX350) to ASUS TUF A16 (Ryzen 7 170 with RTX 4050), it is an advanced Birthday gift for me.
After getting out from Dell's hinge problems and overheating, its great happiness to play 1080p with smooth gameplay of Monster Hunter World. Although im not sure what to do with the laptop yet, I have already deleted bloatware programs and armoury crate (replaced with G-helper).
I even have my IETS gt500 for cooling however it doesnt give a significant change lately (the CPU temp and GPU temp remain the same with or without the cooling pad)
I know that the laptop has issues with hinges, but I was wondering if leaving the lid open makes it preventable on hinges issue ( I dont often bring the gaming laptop since its only on my living room, so I dont bring it and close the lid unless we are moving places)
Is my laptop model prone to hinges? Or is it the same with the older models of Asus tuf?

Need Help! (Software) Clean up advice for TUF laptop [F-16] ? Only 171GB free out of 447GB (keeping my 119GB game).
Hey everyone,
I'm looking for some optimization advice for my ASUS TUF laptop. I have a 447 GB main drive, but I'm down to just 171 GB of free space.
I have a large game installation taking up 119 GB which I want to keep completely intact. However, the rest of my drive is being heavily consumed by system files, basic commands, and general clutter.
Since this is a TUF laptop, I wanted to ask this community specifically:
- Are there any pre-installed ASUS bloatware, log folders, or Armoury Crate cache files that tend to pile up and take up massive space on these machines?
- What are the best TUF-specific cleanup tips to free up storage without touching my game files or breaking system performance?
Thanks for any tips!

Need Help! (Software) BSOD: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
I get this BSOD whenever I stop playing or if I die in a game.I asked AI what this is and it told maybe it's and issue with the graphics driver.So I uninstalled it using DDU and reinstalled on older version.Still it didn't work so I asked AI again and it said that there might some corrupt files in the drivers in system 32 so restore them using CMD.I did that and it worked for some time but again it came back when I updated the driver and then tried the methods used earlier but it didn't work this time.Its really frustrating for me as I can't play games properly and this problem was almost since the begining when I bought this laptop.
