🛠️ Mod Post GHelper/Armoury Crate Megathread

21 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The old PSA thread has been archived.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! (Software) Is this normal or my cpu boost is over heating my laptop for no reason?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

As you can see when i disabled cpu boost temps dropped significantly for cpu and cpu boost enabled just pushed temps to 95. Is it normal for laptop cpu to heat that much just because boost is on?( game setting were at "very high preset")

And even while idle if boost is on cpu goes high as 87°C and as low as 41.

But when boost is disabled it stays below 38. So is boost really worth it?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy my first gaming laptop and came across this one:

ASUS TUF Gaming F16 (2025)

Intel Core 5 (14th Gen)

RTX 3050 6GB

16GB RAM

512GB SSD

16-inch FHD+ 144Hz display

I mainly need it for casual gaming, cooding and studies. Is this a good choice in 2026?

🗨️ Discussion Upgrade ASUS TUF F15 FX507ZC screen to OLED (ATNA56AC02 compatibility?)

1 Upvotes

I have an ASUS TUF F15 FX507ZC and I want to upgrade the stock IPS display to an OLED panel.

My main goal is to get true black pixels (pixels completely turned off), like AMOLED displays. The current IPS panel cannot produce real black because of the backlight.

The OLED panel I am considering:

- Samsung ATNA56AC02 (15.6", 2880×1620, 120Hz, 40-pin eDP)

The physical dimensions appear to match the FX507 panel.

Questions:

  1. Has anyone tried an OLED swap on the FX507 series?

  2. Would the original display cable work with this OLED panel?

  3. Is the motherboard eDP output compatible?

  4. Would an eDP adapter/interposer be required?

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Suggestion Gaming laptop

1 Upvotes

I am planning to get a gaming laptop for school (electrical and computer engineering) whats the best loptop thats around 1500-1800 USD (with tax and warranty) I was planning to get the ASUS TUF A16 RTX5060, 16", AMD Ryzen 7 260, 16gb ddr5 ram and 1TB, from proPrime. I understand portability is not good with gaming laptop and battery is bad but as much of both would be nice while gaming here and there. I don't think I gave heavy games, I just want to know that I can game here and there and I want it to last me for years. Would like to be in Nvidia eco system but open to AMD if u think its better.

🗨️ Discussion Llano v13 vs. v12, which one you think is better?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Recently, I came across the Llano v13 cooling pad, which no one is talking about, and most reviews focus on v12 (NOT ULTRA).

Are there any reasons why? Seems like v13 is the same as v12 just without RGB, and it's cheaper, which seems to be a good choice for gaming laptops (like the newest Tuf Gaming laptops)

💻 Purchase Advice ASUS Gaming V16 (RTX 4050) or ASUS TUF A15 (RTX 3050)?

1 Upvotes
  1. Price and budget: ₹80,000 max (India)

  2. Country of purchase: India

  3. Specs & available options:

ASUS Gaming V16 – Core 5 210H, RTX 4050 6GB (~₹80k)

ASUS TUF A15 – Ryzen 7, RTX 3050 4GB (₹74k)

  1. Intended use: Coding, Linux, embedded systems, Edge AI/CUDA, and occasional gaming.

  2. Features I want: Good thermals, reliable build quality, and performance that will last 4–5 years.

  3. Additional info: I've heard the V16's cooling isn't great because of its slimmer design, while the TUF has much better cooling and build quality. However, the RTX 4050 is a significant upgrade over the RTX 3050 4GB.

Would you choose the V16 or the TUF under an ₹80k budget? Is the V16's cooling/build actually a concern in day-to-day use?

Need Help! (Software) Can this be saved without expensive repairs?

2 Upvotes

It all started when the wifi/volume side of the taskbar icons went missing, then the stong of errors that occurred in the past few days.

When turning it on, it showed the following randomly:

Stop code: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0xA)

What failed: ntoskrnl.exe

Or

Stop code: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E)

But now it only shows:

Stop code: NMI_HARDWARE_FAILURE (0x80)

It used to still boot to windows when you tried enough times, but now it's stuck here and won't boot. Earlier when i tried opening the back to try reslotting the ram on the other slot it did boot to desktop once but i couldn't access the windows menu through the icon or keyboard button so i restarted it and i couldn't reach the desktop anymore.

Is it really a CPU problem cause i see those being thrown around when googling stuff about this or is it a windows update issue?

Hello, this is my first post, and I’m looking for some help or tips. I’m planning to buy my second gaming laptop—the Asus TUF F16 FX607VU (CORE 5 210H/RTX 4050 6GB). Is it a good choice? Also, could anyone who owns a similar laptop share their user experience?. For the price in my country it's around 1000 bucks, I used the laptop for gaming and design and mostly software I use are SketchUp, sap, and cad.
