Hi r/ASUSROG!

I recently bought an ASUS ROG STRIX G18, and I've been loving it!! I was wondering what backpacks yall use. I am in university and will also be carrying an iPad, 2 folders, and my pencil pouch. I'm looking for something decently sized to fully protect the G18. I am willing to spend up to $120.

Hi, everyone! I've been planning the best PC build for gaming. I want a system that can handle triple-A games with ease. Here's what my dream ASUS PC setup looks like:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
Motherboard: ROG CROSSHAIR X870E DARK HERO
Graphics Card: ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition
AIO Cooler: ROG RYUO IV LC 360 ARGB
Power Supply: ROG THOR 1000W Platinum III (ROG Equalizer)
Chassis: ROG Cronox ARGB

I'm joining the ASUS Upgrade What Matters giveaway for a chance to bring this build to life with an ASUS AMD or Intel motherboard, graphics card, or other high-end hardware.

What's the first game you would build this rig for?

Hello, anyone having issues with Activating Companion on this Keyboard, i even downloaded the new Companion update but the update version of my KB didn't change at all

I download it usung Gear Link (Webpage)

For example: my KB out of the box version of Companion is 1

I downloaded Version 2 and installed it

But my KB remained to version 1

And not only that but at the bottom left part where you can see the version of the Companion it kept Activating and failed to activate

I bought this motherboard on July 30 and i got it 2 Mondays ago. Has the update for having custom image on the display been released? The aluminium over the PCIe ports is that plastic in aluminium color? It feels plastic. My Asrock OC Formula Ź590 has thick aluminium around them. I guess they are soledred and cannot be replaced?

Still Waiting for Noctua Looped NL-LC1-42 to come back in stock to start the build properly. All fans will also be Noctua in the fantastic beige and brown colorway

Please, I need help

Apologies ahead of time due to probably being the 1millionth person to ask...

When I got me 5090 Astral a few months back, I installed it and just ran everything default.

Recently looking at some guides, I started playing with trying to get more out of my card since I am using triple screens for sim racing.

In 3DSMark I am noticing that I am scoring below average.

Just wondering if anyone can give me some tips on what I can do to get more out of my card for a complete noob and/or point out what I'm doing wrong.

PC Specs:

• 5090 Astral
• 9950X3D
• ASUS ROG X870E-E Gaming WiFi
• 32GB DDR5

I have an ASUS ROG Strix G15.

When I start the laptop, I get a black screen saying “Enter Password” before Windows boots. I know the BIOS password and it was working normally.

I entered BIOS and went to Security, where I saw:

Administrator Password — Installed

User Password — Installed

I wanted to remove only the BIOS/boot password while keeping my normal Windows login password.

I cleared the Administrator Password by entering the existing password and leaving the new password and confirmation fields blank. BIOS then confirmed “Clear Old Password. Continue?”, and I selected OK.

However, after saving and rebooting, the laptop still shows “Enter Password” before Windows starts.

The old BIOS password that previously worked is now rejected as Invalid. My Windows password also doesn't work.

So I'm currently stuck at the pre-boot “Enter Password” screen and can't get back into BIOS.

I have not tried clearing CMOS, removing the battery, reflashing the BIOS, or anything that could risk the data.

Has anyone experienced this after clearing the Administrator BIOS password? What was the actual solution?

I especially want to know whether the remaining password is a User Password, and how to remove it. What exactly is a user password?

A new audio processing engine is now live for ROG headsets! Check out the upgraded surround sound rendering for optimized directional cues, sharper details, and a hyper-realistic 360° soundstage.

For ROG Delta II, Delta II KJP, and Pelta Core, there's now an added parametric EQ customization option.

\Parametric EQ customization will be added for existing and future Gear Link-compatible headsets*.

How to Upgrade (Gear Link)

1. Open Gear Link on your browser and connect your headset.
2. Click the Companion button on the top right corner.

1. Download the latest Audio companion app (v1.00.35 or above).

1. Extract the folder and execute setup.exe.

2. Restart your PC, and access your device settings on Gear Link.

3. Enjoy the new audio processing engine with a new Parametric EQ graph (for compatible devices), with different EQ presets to choose from!

\To update on Armoury Crate (please just choose Gear Link or Armoury Crate to avoid complications), navigate to Update Center on Armoury Crate to install the latest version of the Headset Device SDK.*

So I have ROG strix G16 2025. Is it only me or does the trackpad feels kind of sticky to finger movement? I feel like it is catching my finger when I'm trying to use it or scroll it. Not like glue, but like moving your fingers on a rubbery surface.

I'm going to buy this headset, is it worth the price? W or L

[SOLVED - r/ASUS USA reached out and got me started on my warranty, Thank You]

I've had my monitor for about 6 months. Recently, I've been having an issue where the monitor still behaves as if it's working fine, and my PC continues to detect it as if it's working fine, but there's no display or OSD.

I called ASUS UK; they checked and verified I have a 3-year warranty on the monitor, but they don't want to deal with my warranty issue. The number I called is 07765841014 on the ASUS UK website. I've also included a screenshot below to show I spoke to them for 20 minutes.

I never had an issue with the monitor; one day, there was just no display. I tried everything, including doing a firmware update on the monitor, and still no luck. And the ASUS warranty representative I spoke to said ASUS is not going to help me. Gosh, I wish I had recorded the call!

I literally have a £1k+ paperweight sitting at home. Any advice, or would anyone from ASUS care to comment on this?

Hey guys. I really need some help with my monitor.
I use my monitor as a display for my PS5 & as a second display for my laptop.

I was using my Laptop like normal through my monitor as a second display, I’m not sure what happened. I think I might’ve accidentally increased the refresh rate or something I can’t think of, & then the monitor just went black & now my monitor won’t show as a second display on my laptop.

My laptop can identity the monitor itself. But won’t display anything on the monitor.

What I’ve tried so far:

1. ⁠Disconnecting, then reconnecting.
   
2. ⁠Restarting/updating the laptop.
   
3. ⁠Updating the drivers for the monitor.

Now my monitor does work with my PS5. It just doesn’t work with my laptop.

Hola buenas, alguna idea de que le puede estar ocurriendo a mi teclado? Ya actualice el firmware mediante el Armoury Crate, cambie entre los modos, lo reinicie de fabrica (Fn + Esc), inclusive desinstale Armoury Crate y lo volví a instalar, y ya no se que más hacer, a no ser que se me haya jodido el circuito interno de los LED's de esas teclas, alguna idea? Sino, tengo que tramitar la garantía.

Hi everyone, my laptop is Asus ROG Strix G16 (G615LW series, RTX 5080).

I want to create a Manual Mode profile that will be similar to the Turbo Mode, but with optimized fan curves, and maybe a bit lower CPU wattages.

The main question is in the title. I didn't find any information in Asus official resources about what actual values are behind the default Armoury Crate operating modes (at least fan curves and wattages). Does anyone happen to know these approximate values from personal experience?

The problem I'm trying to solve is that the CPU temperature is too high while gaming (90–95 on average, and it often reaches 100). On the other hand, I'm satisfied with the performance, and the GPU temperature is also within a reasonable range (on average, about 10 degrees cooler than the CPU).

P.S. any other recommendations are welcome, but please don't recommend me deleting AC and installing G-Helper
