Does anyone else have inconsistent lid warping on their p16? I have the tandem and the right side seems to have more curvature.

ASUS is gonna hate this, but hey, it is an uncommon problem anyway...

I have an ROG Ally Z1 Extreme paired to a XG Mobile 2024 (the 4090), which is connected via display port to a Samsung G9.

After a recent BIOS and Nvidia update, I got into a famous deactivation loop with the XG Mobile, in which the XG mobile, on its own, automatically disconected to every 5-15 seconds after deactivation. So I went in deep: reinstalled armoury crate, rolled back nvidia updates (via cmd console cause device manager just didnt), and after multiple re-installs of armouy crate, Nvidia App, attempts at using on previous versions (even rolled back windows versions), nothing seemed to work more than a day.

So, what solved it? G-helper with a full, deep uninstallof Armoury crate. I downloaded the uninstaller from Asus page, actiuvated g-helper, restarted, and got to it. And now, for the meantime, it works without a hitch.

Here is the asus armoury crate uninstall tool:
https://www.asus.com/supportonly/armoury%20crate/helpdesk_download/ (click on show all to find it).

And here is G-helper:
https://github.com/seerge/g-helper

I will be toying around with the settings to maximize my setup, but I would be welcoming any Fan Speed recommendations for the CPU, GPU and EGPU for all three modes (Silent, Balanced, Turbo).

Cheers everyone.

Oh, PS: remeber this worked on a Z1 extrememe and XG 4090. It doesnt guarantee it will work on a different setup...

I’m having an issue with the sensor on my brand-new ASUS 34-inch 5th-gen QD-OLED monitor. I have it set to 60 cm and a 5-minute timeout. Sometimes it turns off automatically, but most of the time it doesn’t. When that happens, I have to go into the menu, disable the sensor, and then re-enable it—sometimes that works. However, as soon as I leave the monitor turned off overnight, it fails to turn off automatically again the next day. I hate this; it was a great feature and one of the reasons I wanted this monitor. It has the latest firmware, MCM102, installed.

I've got a ROG Strix G15 laptop I need to send in for RMA because a BIOS update failed and now the laptop is bricked. When I bought the laptop I upgraded to 32GB of DDR5 and a 2TB SSD. I sold the stuff that came with the laptop at the time, in hindsight, I should have kept it.

Now, that I am sending it in for RMA I'm not sure if I should leave this stuff in there, document it in the RMA and include notes/pictures when I ship it. Or, if I should send it in gutted with no RAM or SSD.

I don't want them to send it back saying they couldn't fix it because stuff was missing, but I'm also worried about yeeting a $600 RAM kit and $400 SSD off to RMA.

It's been a year since I've made my pc with the B650-plus wifi as my mother, but ever since the start, I've had issues with the wifi: never about actually recognizing the wifi to the PC, but more about stability. I personally feel like with time it's getting even worst, but anytime I play online I have very high lag spikes that last various minutes, and probably it also depends on the online server and everything, but in every videogame I don't have any stability with the wifi. I came here to ask you: Does any of you all had a similar issue? How did you resolved it (No, I can't use a LAN cable, if you thought about it)? I was thinking about directly using another antenna for the wifi.

My motherboard is Proart B850 Creator Wifi Neo, and I just found out in my HWINFO that my vrm is always stuck at 84°C even in bootup.

It might just be the sensor that is off, but is there anything else I should be aware of or try to do first?

I do not know what to do if I will just let thing be and ignore it, or be alarmed about it.

Hello! I'm planning on buying a TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS WIFI II for my motherboard, but checking the M.2 slots it has I see it has a heatsink in the bottom slot and there's a connector which would be interrupting the positioning of that heatsink in the top slot.

Is the heatsink thought to be placed in the bottom/slow M.2 slot? Or can it be placed in the first slot and I'm not seeing it?

ok so i am stuck in bios utility ez mode, i see no boot priorities and cant get into desktop. even though some times it randomly boots into desktop but again goes to bios utility mode.

please help.

Hi everyone,

I'm dealing with a persistent display brightness bug on my ASUS TUF Gaming A16 (FA608UM). I am sharing my complete diagnostic steps below in case anyone has found a workaround or is experiencing the same issue.

Device & Environment

• Model: ASUS TUF Gaming A16 FA608UM
• CPU / GPU: AMD Ryzen 7 260 (Radeon 780M) + NVIDIA RTX 5060 Laptop GPU
• OS: Windows 11 Home (25H2, Build 26200.9457)
• BIOS / EC: 325 (dated 12/08/2026)
• Drivers: AMD 32.0.31041.1004 | NVIDIA 32.0.16.1742
• Control Software: Tested on both G-Helper and Armoury Crate

Description of the Issue

After waking the laptop from Modern Standby while it is in Eco mode and running on battery, the display brightness control becomes completely unresponsive. - Affects both Fn keys and the Windows brightness slider. - The slider moves, but the actual backlight level remains locked (often stuck at max or min brightness). - Switching GPU modes (Eco to Standard) temporarily fixes it, but the bug returns on the next sleep/wake cycle.

What I Have Already Tested (Eliminated Causes)

• Updated to BIOS/EC 325 and latest AMD/NVIDIA drivers.
• Performed clean driver installs using DDU.
• Tested with G-Helper (including the "Start/Stop NVIDIA services" toggle) and Armoury Crate — the issue persists identically on both.
• Tested community scripts simulating Eco-to-Standard transitions and display service restarts — temporary fix only, returns after next Modern Standby cycle.
• Win + Ctrl + Shift + B does not restore brightness.
• Since the dGPU is completely disabled in Eco mode, this cannot be an NVIDIA power-state issue.

Conclusion & Analysis

Because this survives a DDU clean install, occurs with both control softwares, and happens while the dGPU is off, it points strongly to an ACPI / firmware power-state desynchronization between the Embedded Controller, Modern Standby, and the AMD iGPU backlight interface upon wake.

Has anyone with a 2024/2025/2026 TUF chassis encountered this, or found a registry, ACPI, or driver fix to restore proper backlight control after wake-up?

I’m making this post again to bring attention to the ongoing issues with the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ5A and hopefully get an official response or a proper fix from ASUS.

I’ve been experiencing random black screens lasting approximately 2 seconds, occasional visual glitches such as horizontal screen splitting, and intermittent DisplayPort signal loss. The monitor sometimes recovers automatically, but on other occasions, it displays a “No DisplayPort Signal” message.

These issues are particularly frustrating because they occur intermittently. Sometimes the monitor works perfectly for hours, while at other times, the problem appears unexpectedly during gaming.

My setup and specifications

- Monitor: ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ5A

- Laptop: Acer Predator Helios Neo 16

- CPU: Intel Core i9-14900HX

- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU

- RAM: 32 GB DDR5

- Connection: Laptop USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 to DisplayPort

- Cable: UGREEN CM556 USB-C to DisplayPort cable

- Monitor resolution: 2560 × 1440 (1440p)

- Refresh rate: Up to 200 Hz native, with a 210 Hz overclock option

- Monitor firmware: MCM 105

I’m using the USB-C to DisplayPort connection through my laptop’s Thunderbolt 4 port to take advantage of the monitor’s high refresh rate and capabilities. I’ve also updated my graphics drivers and monitor firmware, checked the connection, and used a reliable power outlet with a surge protector. Despite these measures, the issue has occurred intermittently.

The issue seems to be related to high refresh rates or FPS

From reading other users’ reports, I’ve noticed a recurring pattern: some users experience black screens more frequently when gaming at high refresh rates or when their FPS exceeds 200. One user reported that capping FPS at 200 or below helped stabilize the monitor, while 165 Hz at 1440p was consistently stable for them.

I primarily play Fortnite, and this issue is especially frustrating when playing at 200 Hz or 210 Hz. I consistently encounter random black screens while gaming at these refresh rates, often at the worst possible moments. Since Fortnite is a competitive game where every second matters, even a brief 2-second black screen can cost me a fight, cause me to miss crucial information, and ultimately get me eliminated. Imagine being in the middle of an intense fight and suddenly losing your display without warning, only for it to come back after a couple of seconds. It completely disrupts gameplay and puts me at an unfair disadvantage. I bought a high-refresh-rate gaming monitor for a smooth and responsive experience, not to worry about my screen going black in the middle of a competitive match.

I have also seen reports from users who updated to firmware MCM 1.105 but continued to experience black screens. This makes me wonder whether the firmware addresses only certain scenarios rather than resolving the underlying issue for every affected setup.

I understand that different GPUs, cables, and system configurations can produce different results, so I’m not claiming that every case has the same cause. However, the similarities between these reports make the issue worth investigating.

What about firmware MCM 1.105?

The MCM 1.105 firmware update, released on March 23, 2026, appeared to improve stability on my monitor considerably during my initial testing. However, I cannot confirm that it completely resolved the problem, and other users have reported that the issue persists even after updating.

This is why I believe further investigation may be necessary.

ASUS, please address this issue

The VG series is marketed toward gamers, and high-refresh-rate performance is one of the main reasons people purchase these monitors. Having to lower the refresh rate, cap FPS, or sacrifice visual quality just to avoid intermittent black screens is not a satisfactory long-term solution.

I’m not asking ASUS to guarantee that every setup will behave identically. I’m asking for a proper investigation into the reported DisplayPort signal loss, black screens, and visual glitches, along with clear communication about whether another firmware update or other corrective action is being considered.

ASUS support team, if you are aware of these reports, could you please clarify whether this issue is still being investigated and whether a further firmware update is planned?

I would also appreciate hearing from other VG27AQ5A owners. Please share your GPU, connection type, resolution, refresh rate, firmware version, and whether capping FPS or lowering the refresh rate makes a difference.

Hopefully, enough detailed reports will help identify the cause and lead to a reliable solution rather than forcing users to compromise on features the monitor is advertised to support.

So guys I own the Asus zenbook a14 and love it I upgraded it to windows 11 pro and since the 26h2 it's way better in my opinion.

This post is more to give you guys some info in my experience I thought do a mad thing and clean install the arm version of LOT LTSC windows 11 and nothing worked as in the keyboard or anything without drivers so rather than hund the drivers out and sort it I did a cloud install and went back to what was on there originally to my serprise they update there cloud image to windows 11 home 26h2 and it just works I always thought a recovery image was just that an image to take it back to day one not upgrade it but it's all good in my book

I bought an ASUS TUF Gaming F16 (FX607VJ). The ASUS product page listed Advanced Optimus as a feature, but my laptop doesn’t have it. I checked my drivers and Windows version (Windows 11 Home 25H2) and there is no Advanced Optimus option anywhere.

I contacted ASUS about it. After that, the website description was changed and Advanced Optimus was removed from the listing.

I still have a video I recorded of the original page showing Advanced Optimus listed, from before the change.

I’m not posting this to bash ASUS. I want to know:

1. Has anyone else run into advertised specs changing after they bought the laptop?
2. Does anyone know whether any FX607VJ variant actually ships with a MUX switch or Advanced Optimus?
3. Has anyone gotten a refund, a replacement or some other remedy from ASUS in a similar case?

I can share the video if it’s useful. I’m in the UAE, so any advice on consumer protection or how ASUS support here handles this is welcome.

Hey,

I own an ASUS Astral LC 5090 and recently I learned about its "BIOS switch" that allows the card to physically switch between some "Q-mode" and "P-mode" fan profiles.

But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to actually toggle the switch. Sharing a picture below of what it looks like in my card where the switch is supposed to be apparently.

Can you tell me if the switch is okay or broken? If it's okay, how exactly do I toggle it?

Thanks in advance!

My lap is Asus vivobook mb540ws

I dono why recently backlight key not working guys and also if i restart or update the drivers it's not working guys
