How To? -- Asus Armoury Crate Intro for Beginners

[@siralitis]

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 !!!

[@mynusten]

@siralitis although you may have already done a bunch of this, but do make sure all your Windows 10 updates are updated. Next, download Revo Uninstaller and uninstall all aspects of Armoury Crate. Revo has a free version that is pretty powerful. Give your PC a restart and try re-installing Armoury Crate. If that still doesn't work, there is an Armoury Crate Lite Service that you can try. Lastly, Windows 11 is rock solid and recommend 11 over 10. Hope this helps and apprecaite the comment. 👍

So I just downloaded the one from the Republic of Gamers website, and it seems to give me all the features, whereas if you download the one directly from the Asus support website, it gives me a plethora of issues and doesn't give me access to as much, like changing the GPU or CPU modes

Can you post the URLs here; I'll take a look.

the ping sounds are so loud man.

[@mynusten]

Thanks for the input. Will lower the volume in future vids. Will also do a final edit with headphones on. Appreciate the input. 👍

RIP headphone users...

I have a ASRock B760M-C on a prebuilt. The fans are driving me crazy. Pretty much going full mode all the time. I don't want to mess with the mobo settings and fry my pc, so I was looking into downloading Armoury Crate. Reading some Reddit threads has got me worried about it, though. It seems like it causes a plethora of issues. Is it worth downloading in my case? I just want my fans to only go fast when I'm doing more intense tasks instead of all the time.

[@mynusten]

@@Kerbesk if you have your fans plugged into your motherboard fan headers, you can adjust the fan curve on the BIOS if you choose not to download your MoBo app or Armoury Crate. Not 100% that Armoury Crate will work with an ASRock mobo. If you have your fans plugged into a fan hub, download your fan makers app as this will also make it easier to set fan curves. In the event your fans are going full speed after you set the fan curve, check your thermal pastes on the CPU. It may need a new coating. Lastly, make sure you give your rig a good dusting. Good luck and hope it helps.

Great video! On the function of Fan Xpert 4 in Armoury Create i have a question.Can i use custom profiles that i have created from Fan Xpert 4 in different scenarios that I will create in < Scenario Profiles>? For example, I create two different scenarios and call them a and b. I also create two different custom fan profile on Fan Xpert 4 and call them a1 and b2. i want when script is run that fan profile is enabled automatically and not manually. Accordingly I want when the script is run the fan profile is activated automatically. I own a b550 motherboard and I don't have this option in armoury create.

[@mynusten]

@ptip9850 that is an interesting question, but Fax Xpert 4 has already been integrated into Armoury Crate. When you load Armoury Crate and then click on Device, do you see the Fan Xpert option? If you do, you should see an option for AI Cooling. If you don't ssee the Fan Xpert option under devices, not sure if you could write a scropt or not to link the two apps as this falls well outside my expertise. If you do find an answer, appreciate if you could post it here as well. Apprecite the comment!

[@ptip9850]

@@mynusten This feature(Fan Xpert 4) is only for chispet b650 and x670 and some intel motherboards. I personally have a motherboard(asus rog b550xe) where the Fan Xpert 4 is not included in the armoury create but in the AI Suite 3. The Al Suite 3 you can create custom fan profile but you cant choose them in different scenarios. I know it exists Turbo App but this does not work for custom fan profile.

[@mynusten]

​@ptip9850 Very good to know. Yea, I upgraded my mobo when I upgrade my chip to the 7000 series. Appreciate the input on the channel!

[@Evenaardez]

Does your armoury crate not lag horribly and fail to connect to your devices on a daily basis?

[@mynusten]

@Evenaardez I know this is hard to beleive, but I've been using Armoury Crate for years and I've never had an issue with the app.

[@Evenaardez]

@@mynusten Literally how, do I have a faulty board or something, I have uninstalled it half a dozen times and it is still slow and breaks nearly half the time.;

[@mynusten]

@@Evenaardez No, I don't think you have a faulty motherboard. Armoury Crate is a very wonky app and some gamers can never get it to run on their PCs. Unfortuantely, I don't have a work around for the app not functioning correctly.

[@Evenaardez]

@@mynusten That is so wild that depending on the PC it just works or not. I wonder if it works worse with a 7950x3d

[@mynusten]

@@Evenaardez I am running the AMD Ryzen 9 7950x3d and no problems.

Hey could you please help When I going windows then personalization then dynamic lighting then background lighting control and there is do not have armoury crate, what i should to do ? But armoury create is installed in system ,the app shows me temperature fans ect, but not working only aura sync,, I got the new computer 5 days it was working ,but I do not know what I did :( maybe you can help me ? Please

[@mynusten]

@krzysztofwinnicki5855 I am assuming you are already running Windows 11. If so, I would recommend updating your motherboard firmware. Also, make sure you install all the Windows 11 updates, too. Hope this helps.

[@krzysztofwinnicki5855]

​@mynusten ok thanks yes I have windows 11 home. I will try to do this step . Think my

[@ponyboy402]

Is there a way to have armory crate overlay real time fps, temps, mhz while playing games or do i have to use the MSI app?

[@mynusten]

@ponyboy402 as of today, Armoury Crate doesn't have any features that enable overlays, like an FPS counter. MSI Afterburner is a popular app for overclocking & tracking FPS speed & other metrics, but you can also use the FPS counter in Steam. Also, look for in-game options, too, as these usually are best.

[@jaccho1914]

My armory crate doesn't show under dynamic lighting??

[@mynusten]

@jaccho1914 Hi there. Go to Settings -> Personalization -> Dynamic Lighting -> Background Light Control and then drag Armoury Crate to the top-of-the-list. Hope this helps. 👍

[@jaccho1914]

@mynusten armoury crate isn't an option, it's like it's not picking up my desktop at all even with the dynamic lighting setting. I've been trying to research why. I'm running i5 12400f with prime b6d4M-A d4 motherbarc75 limited arc750 graphic card

[@mynusten]

@@jaccho1914 The only other thing I can think of is to make sure your mother board BIOS is updated and that all your Windows system updates are installed.

[@jaccho1914]

@@mynusten ok, thank you!

[@jackietrix]

Hi, I recently downloaded Armoury Crate but I don't know why it doesn't show the stuff like yours does. In my dashboard tab it doesn't show the statistics, it only show my games, aura sync, scenario profiles and my profile. And I don't even have a tools tab. Do these things need to be set up somewhere? if so please teach me, thank you. My motherboard is an old ASUS Prime B250M-K so perhaps it doesn't support these features?

[@mynusten]

@jackietrix I believe the Prime B250M is an Intel board that was released a while ago. I suspect that your mobo may not be supported.

[@jackietrix]

@@mynusten I have 1 more question, I'm curious about installing drivers through this app. I'm actually planning to upgrade my pc so maybe those features will be available with the new motherboard, my question is: do I need to do anything before installing drivers through AC? Like do I need to uninstall something first like how GPU drivers work or does the app just take care of everything? Again, thank you.

[@mynusten]

@@jackietrix In the event you mostly use Asus PC components and devices, Armoury Crate is an efficient way to install drivers & firmware updates. 3rd party updates, e.g. Bluetooth firmware upgrades are always more of a concern because most often, you never know. Armoury Crate will tell you and Asus is one of the largest PC manufacturers in the World, i.e. its a more trusted third-party. Once you decide to upgrade your mobo, going with a reputable company is usually the best way to go. Armoury Crate definitely has its issues -- buggy, poor UX, overly complex -- but it is supported, updated and gets the job done. Hope the above helps and appreciate the comments.

[@jackietrix]

@@mynusten But do I need to do anything else before installing drivers using Armoury Crate or will the app just take care of everything for me?

[@mynusten]

@@jackietrix Armoury Crate will cover most drivers / firmware for Asus made devices. For anything else, you'll need to check those apps specifically. Good luck and hope you get everything up-and-running!

[@Chef_PewPew]

Is it better to download Armory Crate for a Gaming Laptop with mid specs or just use Armory Crate Gear?

[@mynusten]

@Chef_PewPew good question and if you use a laptop only, then Armoury Crate Gear may be a better option. I like Aura Sync, so I use the fully loaded version of Armoury Crate. The fact that Asus published Aurmory Crate Gear means it knows Armoury Crate Fully Loaded is wonky. 🙄

[@Chef_PewPew]

@@mynusten Definitely is. Only downside to Armoury Crate Gear is that they have to app for individual devices instead of as a lightweight hub for all Asus gear.

[@mynusten]

@@Chef_PewPew Oh, man! Didn't realize there is a "Gear" app for each device. That sounds painful.

[@Chef_PewPew]

@@mynusten Yup so you're kind hamstrung using Armoury Crate or have a bunch of Asus apps for each device.

[@mynusten]

🤦‍♂️

Cn anyone Help me when i go to dash board all i see is gameluancher,wallpapers aura sync profile and scenario please help i am trying to put my mux switch on

[@mynusten]

@ImranMalik-mg5uv not sure a Mux Switch will show within Armoury Crate? Most gamers will always use their dedicated graphics card over their Intel or AMD integrated GPU. Is you MoBo and Asus board?
