It's not often that a piece of software comes around that can completely change the user experience of a laptop for so many people. Today I bring you a review and guide of that very software for Asus laptops - G-Helper. Those of you with an Asus gaming laptop such as the Zephyrus G14, Zephyrus G15, M16, Scar 15, etc. will want to check this one out! I hope this review and guide helps some of you who may be thinking about switching, or maybe you never heard of it. It has my full recommendation!

I'll keep a running comment here of information and updates on G-Helper and will try to keep that updated for those watching this video! Feel free to reply with any cool features/uses you've found for G-Helper!
1. Undervolting your GPU in G-Helper, further explained: imgur.com/a/hS8Pqy5
2. Core parking has been added to the Extra tab. So for those of you with an Intel processor (like the 13900H or Core Ultra), you can now park P cores or E cores. This can help with any compatibility issues with some older apps that don’t support P and E cores, and it can also help battery life by having fewer cores running.
3. OLED displays now have a DC dimming slider in G-Helper. This is for people who are sensitive to PWM flickering (if you know, you know) in OLED displays. It allows you to turn down the display brightness without PWM kicking in.
4. 2024 Asus ROG laptops have a new adjustable TGP feature, which is a big deal. This allows you to set a base wattage for your GPU before dynamic boost hits. Great option for vbios modding as well since this essentially acts as a “power slider” like the one in MSI Afterburner that only desktop GPU’s can use. It is now on G-helper as of v0.156
5. Any 2023 or newer ROG laptop now has the ability to switch color gamut and GameVisual styles within G-Helper directly. No longer do you need to open Windows Color Management like I did in the video or having to install the separate GameVisual app! Super convenient feature!
6. G-Helper FAQ page will answer most additional questions people may have! github.com/seerge/g-helper/wiki/FAQ
Hi, can you please make a review on the Asus Zephyrus G16 2024 and check the difference G helper makes on it compared to Armoury crate? Especially all the noise issues and performance issues I've been hearing about. Like the 4080 performing like a 4060 for some users. Thanks.
@@elderman64 review for that should be on the channel in a couple days! As usual I took probably too much of a deep dive into it lol
Totally agree. The fact that this is a passion project absolutely blows my mind. The quick actions, and intuitive interface and extra features are just mind-blowing. I uninstalled the Armory Crate and never looked back. One thing, I question the undervolting a little. I have moved mine down all the way to -30, so either I have a golden CPU or something isn't working as expected.
It's crazy, like Asus really needs to learn something from this guy lol. But yeah, undervolting will only work if you have a 7940HS, 5900HS, 6900HS, and sometimes on a 4800. It has to be some kind of Ryzen 9 CPU. But if you're applying the undervolt at -30 and it's working then you indeed have a god-tier CPU bin! The easiest way to check is to run Cinebench R23 (just do a single run on multi-core) with a 0 undervolt and then run it again at -30. The score should go up by like 1,000 points at least.
@@JoshCravesTech Ryzen 7 5800hs and 6800hs not suitable? Why is this limitation, since you even mention 4800hs?
@@e0236 Ryzen 7 is blocked from undervolting by AMD. No idea why that is. But for some reason the 4800H can still undervolt. Again, no clue why.
@@JoshCravesTech yep, my R9 7945HX is scores around 35.6k on Cinebench r23 with undervolt with G helper
@@JoshCravesTech Just verified it, I got 15768 with 0 undervolt, and 16511 with a -30! I've never won the cpu lottery before, I'm so glad you convinced me to keep the g14 over the x16! Now I hope g-helper extends the range I can undervolt even lower 😆
When the first G14 came few guys in the G14 subreddit starter working on Armoury Crate alternative. I think the first one was atrofac and the latest seems to be the G-Helper. This community was the best I have been within and it continues to be awesome. Kudos to all who started those tools and to those who still making them now. Amazing job guys!
Had to uninstall Armory Crate because it was causing my laptop to freeze and crash, but then I lost a lot of controls and keyboard lighting. Good thing I found G-helper.
Thanks for this!! I finally got around to uninstalling AC and MyAsus yesterday, and this video has been super helpful. So thankful to Serge for making this and continuing to make it better!
Ghelper is an outstanding piece of Software. Huge props to Seerge
hey thanks ive been using ghelper for a while but this video really made me understad the ins and outs of it all!
This really is a game changer. I care a lot (maybe a little too much) about battery life and fan noise in the silent mode with this I can really go crazy. No turbo boost, 10w sustained power draw, and a -11 undervolt.
Really appreciate you Josh for make this dedicated 34 min for this incredible tool. The only thing I wish they can implement on the GHelper is for custom perkey rgb keyboard. I mean, customization like in Aura Creator.
Thank you very much for this video. I just bought a G14 2024 and installed G-Helper as many recommended that in Reddit. But some of the features were not clear to me and it was great to stumble upon your video. Great app and I just contributed to developer
That's awesome! Glad you found this video
Let's go! Just what I needed thanks Josh you the man! 💯🔥
Of course, thanks for watching!
Here's my understanding of "undervolting": CPUs run at higher voltage than they need out-of-the-box because manufacturers like to make sure, if you don't change any settings, the chips can run stably no matter what you throw at it. At worst, it runs a bit hot but it is assumed you'd use an adequate cooler and at least, it runs stably. But by testing you can lower the voltage to an "optimized" point where it runs at the same speed but draws less power and thus, produces less heat. But the lower the voltage, the higher the risk of instability. That's why it takes a lot of testing to find that "optimized" point. Any lower would cause instability or you'd have to lower the clock speed. This is the same reason you need to increase voltage when overclocking it to a speed it's not designed for.
Hey, just bought a G16 (2023) and was searching for guides about debloating and optimizing it so I could game and work with it in college with decent battery life. G-Helper just looks so intuitive compared to Armory Crate ! Probably the best guide about something ive seen out here : editing on point, sexy voice, overall amazing. And of course I subscribed. Looking forward your next videos !
Thanks for subbing! Glad you found the video useful
Kudos Serge, kudos Josh!!!
Great Vid as always, I have been using G-Helper since the beginning of the year and it never ceased to get better! The only thing I haven’t really used is the GPU Undervolt since it’s kinda confusing for me and I can’t really find a concrete GHelper vid for this, but overall still the experience is still great!
Yeah he kind of explains it on the G-Helper page, but it's hard to explain without having an understanding of how undervolting works in MSI Afterburner. It's essentially the same thing as that. The lower your max clock speed, the lower voltage you are running the GPU at. But then you OVERCLOCK to gain back the performance of running at a lower voltage/clock speed, therefore you are getting the same performance at a lower voltage, which typically also means a lower temperature.
hey! great video man, really love this tool for deeply customizing the performance of my g14. thanks to the undervolting feature i found out that for some reason i've got some massively good silice, i've lowered the value all the way down to -40 and still no stability issues :)
have you experienced any issues?
@@kovernatic yes i did have. i learned to test the cpu just in how stable games fare more than with just a benchmark.
i usually play rocket league and it crashed a lot applying undervolting, i'd suggest to test wich games work well with undervolting and wich not
WHAT A DETAILED VIDEO, TYSM!
No problem, thanks for watching!
Thank you my dude. I learned a lot of new things today
Glad it helped!
this laptop keeps surprising me🖤
Yoooo. Super hyped for this vid. Now rocking the Asus G14 4090 after your vote of confidence. Currently doing a 4TB SSD upgrade as we speak.
Yessssss good stuff 🙌
Goodness, that sounds insane (and expensive). Crazy they specced out a 14” that high.
How are your temps and timespy? I’m trying to get mines tuned and my timespy seems really low.
Sounds really like an amazing piece of software. Since my personal experience from my last three laptops is MSI GT72, Leneovo Legion 7 and Leneovo Legion Pro 7, that is what I have to compare with. Vantage today is OK, but not quite complete. I would love to have a tool like this.
There is a similar enthusiast project for Legion, called Lenovo Legion Toolkit which looks good, but lacks some key features too, and I cannot make sense of how it interacts with Vantage, Windows and BIOS. A comprehensive video like this would be amazing for that. Not expecting you will do it, but anyway. 🙂
Cpu boost mainly affect the latency in game when power limit is low, however it's a big difference
Someone in a reddit topic said that your reviews were top tier, i thought it was one of the scams posts, but damnnn your videos are legit! Congrats, new subscriber!
That’s cool to hear, thank you for subbing!
Ive used this from the start. It is the BEST way to control an asus laptop. Ive created T-RGB on github for keyboard rgb on my tuf a15. Then i made an issue describing this and Seerge fixed it!
great video really helped me to understand GHelper a lot.
Thank you!!
Great vid. GHelper is like 40% the reason I went with a G14 haha
Couldn't be happier with my 4080 g14!
Great choice!!
they great to the point only small contents, and games ive seen using it properly
most times 100% srgb look better
Loved the video. Subscribed
Really appreciate it, thank you!
@@JoshCravesTechlearned a lot thanks. Im rocking a G14 2023 with a 4060. I got it for $980 open box. Looked brand new. Upgraded ram to 32gb and got a $230 4TB WD SN850X yesterday. Decked out! Lol
thanks alot for this video. I was trying to edit my videos and for some reason there was a major lag on everything I was doing. No idea what it was but g helper fixed it
Good to hear!
Gave it a shot and I have to say I'm extremely impressed
One particular aspect that I ADORE is the CPU Temps Target. While I understand by design AMD APU/CPUs on laptops target high temps to achieve extremely high clock speeds, I'm not comfy with 90-95C in the most demanding of scenarios, and I can fight it with a rather loud fan which doesn't bother me but I feel I'd rather hit an approachable target. Unfortunately, my A15 with a Ryzen 7 7735HS doesn't seem to support Undervolting, as it does not show in the Advanced Tab
Nonetheless, locking it to 65w and force locking the temps to 80C, I can still achieve decent performance and consistent 4.2Ghz during a cinebench run, so this is neat! Kudos to the creator
G-helper is fantastic, use it on my G14 4080. It ran faster, cooler and quieter with just the base power plans before any under-volting. 100% recommend using if you have an asus laptop, its much cleaner.
Thanks Josh!
thanks, this infomation help me alot
Glad you found it useful!
Hey Josh! I have the same model you do and recently switched to G-Helper because of you! After using the ASUS Armoury Crate utility, it left behind a couple of apps. Do I need the ASUS Hotplug Controller and the ASUS Monitor Controller, or should I uninstall those?
I’d probably leave those! They might have something to do with your outputs and power plug. I’m not certain though. If you click on the “stop Asus services” button in G-Helper it will disable all the unnecessary ones if there are any leftover.
Heyy, awesome video man. You literally cleared all my doubts in just 30 mins. Just one small thing. How does the update process work for the ghelper version. Should i manually install the new version abd remove the old version exe file and replace this with that?
Yeah, I usually just extract the new version into the same folder that the old version is in and that's it! Although I think he just added an auto-updater that just installs it automatically if desired.
What about those updates which we get from Armoury crate if we uninstall it? Mouse HAL updates etc? I have been using this since last 2 months its working well for me, still curious about those s/w updates from AC.
Thank you!
Damn this was a godsend 😅 i actually gain 20 fps and hit a stable 60 on baldurs gate 3 using G Helper. Thanks for the video too!
That’s awesome to hear!
Great timing of this. I was thinking of re-installing windows and giving this a try. its only being delayed by a coding project to complete that takes a lot of time to setup. Kinda scared rn to mess up something and have to factory reset lol.
So, on a cleaned machine we just download the g-helper, install and go? No other steps required? Because if someone is not clean installing windows, I think its recommended to run armory crate uninstaller before installing g-helper.
Correct! If you already have Armoury Crate installed, use the official uninstall tool from Asus to get rid of it. Then for G-Helper, just download, unzip and go!
Can you please explain me which type-c ports (the one on the right and another on the left side) I should charge Zephyrus g14 with? You talked about it in previous vids, but I didn't figure it out.
Awesome video!!!!
Thank you!
Small update for G16 (2024) owners: In ultimate mode you can use the HDMI port for an external display, that works. USB-C output will not work. Also: the difference in performance is non-existent between ultimate and optimized mode. If you want full performance on external display just use the HDMI output. G-Helper is just great. Much smoother than Armory Crate and better accessible. Thanks for the video. Much appreciated.
Hi liked the content you posted, i have a question if will this work with the Asus TUF A15 2022 ? or only for G series models
Absolutely! It’ll work great for TUF
This is amazing! Can we get him to replace Corsair iCUE also?
I tried G-helper and My chakram core mapping is not working anymore, is there any alternative software to program it? I want to keep using G-helper
Awesome tutorial, was wondering if G-Helper have the fps counter, cpu/gpu temp, cpu/gpu usage monitor that Armoury crate have. I often use that to keep track of my temps and fps lol
It doesn’t have an overlay as of yet other than a monitor in the window for GPU/CPU temps and fan speeds. Might be something that gets added in the future, we’ll see!
@@JoshCravesTech any other software you recommend incase I do delete the Armory Crate app? Don’t want to install MSI burner and G-Helper together
Hi ! , oes anyone know how to activate win lock without armory crate ?
Because if we only use G-helper, there is only fn lock and not win lock
is there a way to physically make "power" mode switch to silent when on battery/usb c and switch to balanced/turbo when is plugged in by any chance
either automatically or keybind is fine. i'm getting my g14 next week ;D
Wish he added an option for undervolting intel as well kinda surprised it’s and only for now. Great vid though!!
Yeah I know undervolting is locked to HX chips for Intel, but I’m sure it could be possible, he’d probably just need help from some users with specific hardware on the GitHub page
I don’t see the GPU tab? Downloaded the latest version. It’s it because I have a ryzen laptop gpu!?
Thank you so much your video explaining the details all clear . But have a question how to fix the updates if was grey means ?
Gray just means you would have to update that particular driver through the Microsoft store or through an external website, or through Windows update. It doesn’t mean that it’s outdated or anything. The large majority of the gray updates are drivers that will probably never need an update or will be updated automatically when the time comes
Hello Josh! Thanks for that video. I would like to ask if the recommended settings are good also for a G14 with RTX 4060? I just got a G14 and downloaded Ghelper but still not sure what are the optimal settings. I use it mostly for work on the go (CAD programms and GIS) and playing LOTRO and some WoW.
Yes, these settings will apply to 4060 as well! The good thing with the 4060 is you should see very little performance difference between Turbo and Balanced because how efficient that GPU is.
Thank you very much for your reply!! The only thing I am not seeing is the GPU tab for both Silent and Balanced modes. Is this because I have a 4060?@@JoshCravesTech
@@JoshCravesTech Thank you very much for your reply! The only thing I don't see is the GPU tab for each mode. I only have CPU and advanced. Maybe that's because of the GPU i have?
Nice thanks man for the video I will try it out when I get my G14. Quick question what is Silent GAOT on your profile? please can you share it?
It’s what I use in the G14 review, I think I showed the settings in the “temperature” section of that video
@@JoshCravesTech oh ok, I'll rewatch the video maybe I missed it.
Thanks for your video. In my case (ROG G15 2021) touching the fancurves seems to disable the rog boost of 20w on the GPU, as is interpreted as a custom profile.
If you mean "Dynamic Boost", then you can always set it under Fans + Power -> GPU settings.
When I run time spy with armory crate I get around 11.3k. [11.6k GPU Score and 9.6k CPU Score] . When I run time spy with GHelper I get 8.6k GPU Score and 10.4k CPU score. I used it before and I had no problems but when I use it now this is what happens. Any idea how to fix? I first had a G15 ROG Strix Advantage with 6800m and 5900hx. The new one is with the 6800m and 5980hx.
G-helper works awesome on my laptop
R9 7945HX and RTX 4080
1500 pts more with g-helper in cinebench runs
Like 35k on r23 than armory crate
Lower idle temps when just browsing etc.
It just needs more RGB modes that's all.
How's the battery life like?
bro just trying flex
Does anyone uses the new Asus Azoth keyboard with G helper? does it work? (specially the OLED screen)
Nice vid
What happens to the anime matrix stuff if we get rid of armory crate?
Thanks for the video btw!
You can control it in G-Helper! I don’t have anime matrix to test with so I’m not sure the exact functionality but from what I’ve seen it looks like it covers everything!
Thank you for another great video!
I have a 2022 min-led flow x16 and never really understood how to switch between color profiles or if switching was even something I needed to do.
Seeing that the 2023 models have a color gamut section made me remember this and now I really want to know how to access those color profiles.
How can I get access to these color profiles on pre 2023 models?
You can't unfortunately. If it shows up in the newest version of G-Helper for you on the main screen, then you do have it. But if it's not there, then you don't. It's a feature from Asus that only applies to certain models.
But tbh it is a bit niche. Mostly useful for those who want to explore sRGB color spaces in true sRGB, and not have colors ballooned in the DCI-P3 color space. A lot of people like that look though, so it's not for everyone to want to "wash out" your colors essentially by correcting it. Most color-sensitive programs like video and photo editors automatically compensate for this so there's no need to switch your color profiles there either unless you're using a program that doesn't have color management built in.
heyy, im pretty new to cpu and gpu undervolting and all. Im watching some videos about undervolting and how to do it to my laptop. i just bought a ryzen 9 7940HS and 4060 laptop and when i watched some videos on undervolting i noticed that everyone was using msi afterburner. now with g helper can i use only this to undervolt my cpu and gpu properly like does it do the same as what msi afterburner does or will i need msi afterburner as well or does ghelper alone get the job done?
Yes, just use G-Helper. Simply find what your GPU typically boosts to in games (in MHz), then bring down that slider to a little below that, and bring up the core clock (overclock) in conjunction. Keep bringing down the clock limit until you’re satisfied with temperatures/performance. Keep overclocking until things start to get unstable (usually like +200 MHz).
For the CPU, just bring the slider down to like -12. If you have a great CPU bin, then you might be able to go beyond that. Just keep experimenting until things crash. That’s how you figure out your limits.
Does G-Helper apply an overclock in bios or when using a profile on windows? I dual booted my G14 2023 laptop with windows and ubuntu and was wondering if I setup a CPU undervolt using G-Helper, would it also apply to Ubuntu?
I believe the overclock is through bios, so it should still apply in Ubuntu yes
I used it on my Strix G15 rx6800m, maybe it doesn't support smd discreet GPUs. I was not able to edit GPU power settings and GPU fan seprately
AMD GPUs are completely locked, you can't set anything for them. It's ok.
i have the 4060 g14 and not the 4090 one so for the gpu undervolting tab shall i start off with the clock limt same as urs at 1800 or shiukd my value be different cuz of the 4060. and if it is different how to do i come up with the first value to start off with and decrease that value according to the benchmarks.
It should be different. You need to find what your GPU typically boosts to in games. Use something like MSI Afterburner’s overlay to just observe your GPU clock speed in games. Then set it below that by like 100Mhz at a time. Then overclock to gain back any performance lost. So that way you get the same performance for less temperature
ok thanks josh, sso this undervolting processs wont damage my gpu if i do it properly right?
@@JoshCravesTech
Hello I wondering if can I manage the fans on the laptop by it because on armory create I can't control them my laptop is asus tuf dash f15 2021
Yes it should have fan control but keep in mind that a few laptops are locked out of it in the bios so it may not work depending on the specific laptop
What battery charge limit do you recommend if I bring my laptop to uni 3-4 times a week? I've been stuck whether 80% or 100% since I want it to last the whole day but also thinking of its longevity. Thank you very much!
I keep mine at 100%. It just degrades your battery a little faster. So you may have to replace the battery after like 3 or 4 years since it’ll die faster over time. I’d probably replace the battery every 3 or 4 years anyways
hey josh one more quick doubt man. so could u please explain me what is the memory offset in gpu undervolting and at around what value i should keep it for my 4060 g14 and how do i test it. i understand now how to tweak the cloock offset and clock limit but i just cant figure out what is this memory clock offset.
Memory is specifically just overclocking your VRAM! This may or may not boost performance depending on the game. A game like Counterstrike probably wouldn’t see any difference from it but a game like Cyberpunk 2077, where you’re pushing high-fidelity textures and vram-hungry assets to the limits, will see some improvement. You can boost this is as high as +1,000 or so, but really just like +200 to +300 is safe and stable.
alright cool, thanks alot for the interactive responses. Means alot :)@@JoshCravesTech
So with this ghelper tool, which Asus software could I uninstall to save resources, only Armory Crate and My Asus, some others or it is not recommended to uninstall them?, because when I open the task manager, too many Asus program processes appear. Thanks
I have and asus rog strix g16
Uninstall both! And then click “stop Asus services” in G-Helper to be 100% sure
After installing g helper i can't install app like Ccleaner,the installation completed but the folder is empty,i reinstalled windows 11 2 times but the issue is same
Does undervolting in core also reduce voltage that goes to memory chips?
No it shouldn't
Can I use g helper in my Asus ROG motherboard desktop. ?
Is there a way to auto change power plan in Ghelper when a game/application is launched and upon it being closed the power plan reverts back to the previous one?
Im not sure to be honest. Might be worth posting in the discussions on the GitHub page if you want to ask the developer!
Awesome vid thanks for putting this up! I just got my own G14 with a 4060. I'm excited to use this tool, but for some weird reason, every time I try to download the app from that link and try to open to install, it keeps asking me to "find the app" in the Windows store...how do I just get the app to run?
Edit: My G1 came with Windows 11 (just got it yesterday).
Edit 2: Got it to work after reading some more info on the page, thanks!
Glad you got it working!
I turned off CPU BOOST and my temperature dropped from 96 degrees Celsius to a stable 78 degrees Celsius, with no change in performance in Helldivers 2. I now steer clear of this option.
does runing ghleper harmful to the battery health? since I used the ghepler my battery health of my laptop drops so fast, of about 4 percent in a few days. is the figure shown in the ghelper of the battery health accurate? should i ignore it not? thanks!
No, it doesn’t harm battery. That is a Windows-based estimate of your battery health. You can ignore it. The only way for it to get a more accurate estimate is for you to charge it to 100% and let it go all the way to 0% through normal use a few times
Thanks for the extremely helpful video. I'm trying to follow your instructions for the color profiles, but when I select a profile in AC, no new .icm file shows up in the ../drivers/color directory. Am I missing something?
You notice the screen changing color when you change the profile right? And you’re refreshing the file explorer after you do it?
@@JoshCravesTech Yes, the screen changes color as I cycle through the profiles. I refresh file explorer and no new file appears. I followed the instructions you gave on the g-helper github discussion from June 2023. From your screenshot, I can see that a new ICC profile was created on June 3, 2023 - that's the one that you copied to another folder and then installed into Windows Color management, right? When I do the same thing, nothing new appears. The same .icm files that are in my \Asus\GameVisual folder are also in my \color\ folder, but as you and AudreyAP noted, those don't work when installed into Windows color management. Frustrating! If you have any ideas about where else I can find the icm files, I'd appreciate it. I haven't been able to find them for download on the asus site. Thanks!
anyone mind helping me out, so I installed ghelper n deleted armory crate n my laptop got slow
I'm 100% sure it's because I deleted armory crate because I rest the entire laptop twice and tested things out
I'd rather not get armory crate back because it messes with Mt settings but so far it seems like the only thing I can do is reinstall it
Thanks G
hi again, do you have any advice for power limits for the i7 13650HX, Im wondering if I could adjust these slightly, but not sure where to. I play games plugged in all the time and use the balanced / Optimised profiles. I can see so much on power limits but it's all for the AMD CPU, got a bit confused when you mentioned the power limits in your video. I mostly play RTS games. Just trying to get the best out of my laptop, but at the same time keeping temps down where possible. Thanks
They’re essentially the same. SPL is the same as PL1, sPPT is PL2. So PL1 is your sustained wattage, PL2 is your boost. With a 13650HX, you could limit PL1 to like 40-50W and be okay for most games. PL2 could stay at like 90-100W. If that gets too hot, decrease each by 5-10W until you start seeing noticeable performance loss
@@JoshCravesTech Great thanks
Is the shortcut button to switch AC power plans or opening the AC button on my laptop working with ghelper if ac is disabled? So i dont have to go back to desktop to change my power plans?
Yes, the AC button opens G-Helper instead and the power profiles shortcut just cycles through the profiles on G-Helper instead of AC
@@JoshCravesTechhow are the stock profiles compared to those of the armory crate.
Do you think 92 degree is damaging cpu? Or better at 90?
@@nova_e1121 they’re essentially the same if you’re running them stock, just with less background services running. 90C is perfectly fine for a CPU, even in the long term. Even 95C is fine! These CPU’s are built to handle it. They have sensors that dictate whether to throttle accordingly with high temperatures if needed to control any chance of damage.
I might disagree on the GPU modes: if I'm understanding this correctly, "standard" mode does fire up the dGPU but still routes the display signal through the iGPU and in my testing, not only performance and wattage are limited on the dGPU, you also cannot use G-sync. And when you unplug while in standard mode, it doesn't turn off the dGPU either. So, I personally would run ultimate mode if I was going to game to get max performance, and optimized mode otherwise so when I unplug, it'd be in eco mode for max battery life.
On any model that doesn’t have Advanced Optimus or whatever AMD’s version of that is called (Smart Access Shift or something) then yes that’s true. However, with Advanced Optimus, you can be in Standard mode and still have everything route to the dGPU in Nvidia Control Panel by choosing “Nvidia GPU only”. This is essentially the same as rebooting into Ultimate mode but without having to reboot. Just a nice convenience.
And unplugging, you can choose to switch into Eco to disable the dGPU completely or keep it in standard and let your PC decide when the dGPU should be activated.
If you’re in Ultimate mode and decide to unplug, you’ll have to reboot again in order to move to Eco mode.
@@JoshCravesTech Ahh, I see. Asus designed their products with way too many features. They really thought of everything and I'm still learning how to use them! I'm still confused about this: if I'm in standard mode or optimized mode when plugged in, what's the difference between "auto select" and "optimus" in the display mode setting in Nvidia control panel?
@@motherflerkentannhauser8152 yeah it’s a lot, lol. So “auto-select” detects when you start a game and automatically switches you into dGPU-mode (Nvidia GPU only), and then switches you back upon exiting the game. Optimus is just your standard dGPU + iGPU mode, where the dGPU is active but all frames are sent through the iGPU to the display creating a small bottleneck in some games.
@@JoshCravesTech 👍
i have only one complain so far about g-helper. if i undervolt my cpu and play a game and lets say its unstable and restarts my laptop , i lose my custom profiles and everything goes to default.
I have to configure everything again in g-helper. Is there a solution for this?
you would have to apply and hit the checkmark box that says to auto apply
Does this only work for Asus gaming laptops? Are there similar 3rd-party apps like this for other brands?
I know someone made a Legion Toolkit for Lenovo which is pretty good as well, but I don’t think it’s as updated. Haven’t used it in a while.
Do i have to deinstall armory crate or can i disable it? Would like to use g helper and test them both side by side. So i can disable one and use the other
You don’t have to uninstall Armoury crate. Just hit “stop Asus services” in g-helper and then re-enable those services when you want to swap back to AC
@@JoshCravesTech thank your very much josh. Now i am gonna test out the new g helper. 😊
with ghelper,all asus services disabled with my laptop GA503RM 2022 model i am only getting 4 hrs of battery from 90 percent to 20 percent(25% brightness,echo mode,and silent nad rgb off) ,i fell i am supposed to get more is my battery just noit good or am i missing here plz help.
You likely have some background/startup services running or you have a bunch of stuff open in your browser or some other program and something you’re doing is using more power than it should be.
@@JoshCravesTech no i did all the basic stuff of disable startup app and disable asus services and i was just watching a moview in chrome with a single tab , and more shocking thing it happend in last 2 hrs my battery health dropped from 99.1% to 71% out of noware after i changed my bios to 313 from 318 and now i changed it back to 318 hoping it fixes todays a bad day
tnks for the tip .
update it works everything works ,it was my laptop that was falulty,it was showing the wrong battery health, my laptop after it shows 70% battery health it is still giving same battery life around 5hrs of video playback so if it was a healthy battery it should be able to give 7-8 hrs easy.
quick question, how do you enable that laptop display mode panel at 22:24 ?
Nvidia Control Panel > Desktop tab at the top > Show GPU switching icon in taskbar
@@JoshCravesTech Thank you!
it's a beautiful application made with love. İ love g-helper and I was hoping g-helper would fix my problem about turbo mode fps stutters, (there were reddit users who said it worked) but it didn't work. Do you guys know solution? Or is there anyone experiencing this problem?
hey so sorry for spamming, but just now i casually ran heaven and i got a 44 avg fps on standard mode in performance. i dont know whats the problem cuz i litterally ran it yesterday and i hit an avg of 150 fps. yesterday my clock speed was aroubd 2250 and today for some reason it is 1150 or something in armory crate so i guess this is what the problem is in but i didnt even install ghelper till now and tweak the undervolting settings. just was testing how stock AC was perfomrning and i didnt tweak any settings in AC also just left it to the default. idk why im not able to hit a high clock speed today for some reason. pls help me out on what i should do. i treid rstarting but it didnt solve the issue. ijust now installed ghleper and ran the same standard and performncae mode stopping all asus services but still same 44 fps. anything i mightive done and need to look at whuch couldve lead to this. i found out that in armory crate it was showing my base clock as 1100 and while running heaven every 10 seconds or something my clock speed would spike from 1000 mhz to 2400(said something like rog boost) and then go back to the 1000s. on average it wasnt exceeding this base clock. so should i increase this base clock and if so, how do i do this?

What are the recommendations for my asus rog strix scar g17 with the 7845 r9 undervolt values? What is the sweetspot without loosing fps ?
If your CPU is unlocked for undervolting, then just try like -20 to start and keep pushing closer to -40 until things to start to crash. You won’t lose fps at all with undervolting the CPU
@@JoshCravesTechMany thanks for your reply❤
I tried to make different GPU settings for different profiles but when I swap between them they all end up being the configured the same, is this normal?
You don’t still have Armoury Crate installed do you? And you’ve stopped all Asus services? Try a crazy low wattage and temperature limit on one of them to test the extreme, it should be accurately changing as you change profiles.
thank you so much
bu uygulmaayı kim geliştridiyse çok teşşekür ederim :)
how do you get that mode selection popup for automatic, nvidia gpu and optimus? you click off screen in your task bar somewhere but I cant seem to find it on my 2024 g14
Open Nvidia Control Panel > Desktop > Show Dynamic Display Mode Tray Icon
I have a ASUS - ROG Zephyrus M16 GU603 Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i9 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 1TB SSD. It's my first GPU laptop and I bought it for the purpose of running 3D software programs and animation rendering since my school projects kept on crashing on my old CPU laptop. I don't game at all. I am trying to work on my project in the Cascaduer 3D software but it keeps closing/ crashing on me with no heads up causing me to lose what I'm working on. This software runs on CPU only I believe and that's why it's taking up so much of my laptop memory resource. When I use other 3D software with GPU settings I don't have this problem. That means I need to higher my CPU and GPU settings? What should I set my CPU to be in Silent, Balance and Turbo mode? Usually I just use the default Armoury Crate setting, the Cascaduer 3D software, it sometimes would freeze on me, give me an error message of not responding but never just close on it's own. I wish I could copy the Armoury Crate Setting into G-Helper's setting but I don't even know how to read those settings to input it into G-Helper's setting. Looking at my laptop specs, can you recommend me CPU and GPU settings in Silent, Balance and Turbo mode? Also is MyASUS app necessary for the laptop to function correctly? I have a lot ASUS related processed running in Task Manager and I worry if I end the processes on them then my laptop would act up. I don't know what those processes even do.
If you hit “factory defaults” on any power profile then it goes back to identical to how Armoury Crate’s version of that profile is. Whichever profile gives you the least problems, I’d probably stick with that. MyAsus is not necessary. You can go into G-Helper like I showed in the video and hit “disable Asus services”. You don’t need any of them. If your software is crashing then you should look into if it’s the software compatibility with newer Ryzen processors. Try troubleshooting it. Run it in eco mode and see what that does. Run it in Ultimate mode and see what that does.
What speakers are those? Are they Kali In-5 or LN6s? I'm planning on picking up some LN6s with their sub. How do you like them?
They’re the IN-8 V2! Best speakers I’ve ever used. If you’re getting a sub then you probably don’t need the 8’s. Something like the IN-5 or LN-6 would be perfect with a sub
@@JoshCravesTech Thanks Josh! White IN-8s look awesome especially since they're 3 way! I have some Adams a77x and they sound comparable for a fraction of the price. I switched to a smaller table and these things are too big so I'm probably going for the in-5s + sub. I was super underwhelmed when trying yamaha hs5s and 7s. What headphones or in ear monitors do you rock?
@@Kevr0 Yeah the Adam A77x looks sick! The IN-8's are definitely huge. I had Yamaha HS8's before but they're lacking some of that mid-range detail you get from the 3-way. For headphones I really like open-backs so I use the Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pros and the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900X
@@JoshCravesTech open backs are the best! Especially for comfort! My ear always get sweaty after long sessions of gaming, watching media, or music. Also better sounds stage. Thanks for sharing g helper. Definitely a game changer! It fixed so many issues I have been having with my new 2024 g16
Its amazing, i couldnt control my Fan Speed on Asus Dash F15 and with the help of ghelper i increased my fan speed to max and i ALSO decreased my Cpu Core speed to the Base Clock and it decreased the temperature From 88 to 58 without any lower perfermoce while im gaming. Thats crazy! the BEST app ever.
Nice!!
Are you unistall armor creat? My laptop is asus dash f15 is this good or bad ? Any improvement is there? While gaming
Hi, i have been wondering about which laptop should i buy the g14 R9 4060 or the G16 i7 13620H 4060 (both of them is the 2023 model) i heard that g14 is very hot since i wanted to play triple A game is it safe to buy the g14 or should i just go with the g16 (both have the same price 1400 usd). i heard that G16 is cooler than the G14. but G16 screen is only FHD with 70%DCi P3 while the g14 is 100% DCI P3. my room temperature is usually around 28 (i dont have air con). and i want to ask if the g14 can use 2nd monitor (i also heard that there is some problem with the port). can somebody enlighten me for which should i buy ?
Watch my G14 review! I cover everything about the laptop. All of it applies to the 4060 model except for the fps in games but I also give what to expect there on the 4060/4070 model. The G14 is hands down a WAY better laptop than the 2023 G16. The “G14 runs hot” thing is a dumb take. It runs very well for the chassis size and I can almost guarantee you would not notice a difference between the two for heat. There are SO many things you can do to reduce heat that it’s not a major issue at all.
@@JoshCravesTech thank you
Firstly, Thank you so much for this video, This was an incredibly helpful for me as i am new the PC/Gaming laptop world, i have always been on consoles until last week I picked up an ASUS g14 4060, swapping it for the 4070 though due to a sale that was better. nothing bad regarding the 4060 its been fantastic. my question has nothing to do with G-helper, but you seem to have alot of knowledge and experience with Gaming laptop/PC and i wonder if you can help. Question : what is a good temp for the laptop to run. I've looked all over and I get conflicting responses, while gaming I've read 70-85 is good and anything over 90 is consider bad but I've also read that over 100 is where you should be concerned and anything under is normal and fine while gaming, if you or anyone here can provide some inside id really appreciate it.
Yeah the conflicting info is because it varies by CPU and GPU so much and what they’re designed to handle, as well as the chassis they’re in. So for a 4070 GPU and 7940HS CPU in a 14” laptop, the GPU is ok to reach up to 87C, but hopefully it stays under 85C most of the time. The CPU is okay to reach up to 95C and it will do that in spikes, but in games we want to see it under 90C most of the time.
Thank you for the insight I greatly appreciate it
Sir my Query
Sir this G helper only for Asus laptop
Can used for desktop?
Can used Asus Intel 10 gen 11 gen laptop ?
Or Ryzen 5 gen laptop ?
You wouldn’t see much benefit of using it on a desktop unless you’re trying to do some power limiting. Wouldn’t hurt to try! And yes it will work for all of those laptops!
i have a pro art book, why the hell is it locked ?!?!? it has a 13980hx and 4070 yet they locked it... :(
03:05 "Balanced" is the original name of this profile. I have an Asus ROG Strix Scar III (G731GW) and this profile inside Asus Armoury Crate was called "Balanced", then after some updates for some reason that i still can't comprehend they changed the name of this profile to "Performance". Maybe someone thought that "Balanced" doesn't fit so much cause of the noise these fans make trying to keep the temps low 😂
Lol that’s funny! Yeah at one point they had changed it back to Balanced for like a week. This was like a year ago I think, and then they immediately changed it back to Performance. I guess they want it to be a psychological thing, lol. Make people THINK it’s a high performing profile.
