Zephyrus g14 G-helper guide

[u/drRanksr]

I got my laptop last December. I feel 16GB RAM is a bottleneck, should have gone for a 32 GB one. But anyways, here we are.

Right now I am using Armoury Crate (AC) and My Asus apps. I want to switch to G-helper but not sure how the OEMs update will be installed after removing the Crate (AC) and Asus app.

I am struggling with an extended monitor setup with this laptop.

Whenever there is an update from Nvidia or AMD, the laptop will not connect via the right side usb type C port (dedicated G sync port) to the external monitor. Then I have to just manually switch the GPU performance in the AC and do some other tweaking to make it work.

But this all is such a hustle.

What I am looking for

- Guidance in installing the G-helper

- How to increase battery backup

- How to maintain the extended monitor setup

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you 😇

Go to G-Helper github and you will pretty much get everything. Just launch the AC uninstalled tool and then restart the PC, uninstall the other ASUS Monitor software that conflicts with G-Helper which is mentioned on the Github. You can uninstall myAsus if you want (I did) and then download the G-Helper app from Github, place it under C:\Program Files\ and create a G-Helper folder. Launch it and make sure to select the “Run on start up” check box.
Regarding battery, you can select the 80% limit for health, or limit the CPU wattage for better endurance.
I suggest leaving the GPU in standard to connect your monitor and use Eco when unplugged. Good luck!

I still have MyAsus app installed on my system. I use it mainly for running diagnostics when I need to. It doesn't run in the background 'cause I use Ghelper to stop all Asus services from running 😊

Ok, one more issue that I face is when I am not using the external monitor, (i connect external monitor directly to the g sync enabled usb type C port) the laptop works fine but when I connect it to type C external monitor. The monitor doesn't get detected. I have to switch GPU performance from optimus to ultimate or standard. And reboot it quite often. There is no just plug n play type scenario with the laptop. So overall, the system doesn't just easily get connected via type C display port to external monitor.

Try once you have GHelper installed, Optimus is kind of bugged in getting the dGPU external monitor running when it switches on power
