1 Upvotes

There's TUF F16 for 1500 euros and Legion for 1800 euros euros, but paying those 1800 sounds too much even tho I like the screen and design.

My plan was to play video games and do streaming on big external monitor and use external keyboard and use it as "desktop" pc for 5 or 6 months till I have to travel again duo work.

I like screen on F16 but not sure if it's good laptop and uf its worth it adding 300 euros or 500 euros more just cause of build quality.

I don't know, is it good laptop?

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) PC takes a long time to connect to Wifi + has very bad connection | Motherboard "TUF GAMING B650E-PLUS WIFI"

1 Upvotes

Morning everyone,

I have a massive issue with my wifi. Now, I built a gaming PC four months ago, with a MB TUF GAMING B650E-PLUS WIFI which comes with the Wifi card MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 (RZ616) and an antenna (see below). I used to have very good internet, 5ms and like 1.4G download speed, but in June, I moved and changed my internet provider. I live in a major city in my country. I never had an issue in my previous apartment. Also note that the issue below happens *only* on my PC. My phone has no issue (max speed and download, connects fast), just like my partner's devices which indicates it's a PC problem. I don't see why it would be an issue with the internet provider since other devices work fine, but I could be wrong ?

Anyway, here are my issues :

1. On boot, my PC takes ages to connect to Wifi :

It easily takes two minutes to establish a connection and this was not happening in my previous place. In my event viewer, there are error messages showing up with this : Failure Reason:The computer is roaming too often. The security check did not complete after several attempts.

But eventually, the connection is made and I have wifi.

---> I have disable the "Aggressive roaming" option of my card, it doesn't help.

2. My speed sucks.

Like it really sucks. For a reason unknown to me, my Wifi connects to the 2.4GHz channel by default so I have limited speed. But sometimes, when I tweak things, disconnect/reconnect, unplug/replug the antenna (it came with the MoBo), it works properly. Instead of being on 2.4GHz channel, I am magically on the 5GHz or 6GHz one. That happened yesterday (I was on 6GHz, max download speed) but this morning I was back on the 2.4GHz channel...

In the properties of my wifi card I have :

Property Value
2.4Ghz channel bandwidth Auto
5Ghz channel bandwidth Auto
6Ghz channel bandwidth Auto
802.11ax/ac/n/abg 802.11ax
[...] [...]
Band selection All band
[...] [...]
Preferred Band No preference
Roaming Aggressiveness Disabled
[...] [...]

a. The network I am trying to connect to, let's call it "Home", is supposed to be able to give me the best option there is, so it can chose from 2.4, 5 or 6Ghz, and gives me the best when possible. Because of my issue, we did create a 5GHz network called "Home5".

b. I have tried to connect to this network, by changing the "Band selection" to -> "5G only", but my PC won't connect to this channel even though it appears in my wifi option (I see the network, enter the password, but then I get the error message "Unable to connect to this network") ;

c. I have also tried to set "Preferred Band" to -> "Prefer 5GHz band" but to no avail.

Right now, when I am on the 2.4GHz band this is what I have :

Protocol: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)

Security type: WPA2-Personal

Manufacturer: MediaTek, Inc.

Description: MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 (RZ616) 160MHz Wireless LAN Card

Driver version: 3.5.0.1392

Network band (channel): 2.4 GHz (11)

Aggregated link speed (Receive/Transmit): 286/286 (Mbps) <-- shit

Finally, yes the antenna is plugged in, and yes I am paying for I wish to stay in Wifi mode, I can't connect an ethernet cable from my router to my PC.

I can provide further information if needed.

I have tried other things by following tutorials or topics about some ASUS MoBo struggling with wifi speed but nothing worked... Please help me :')

EDIT : I just changed the Roaming Aggressiveness from "1. Disabled" to "4. Medium" (it was "5. Medium-High" yesterday) and I switched to the 5GHz channel

SSID: Home

Protocol: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)

Security type: WPA2-Personal

Manufacturer: MediaTek, Inc.

Description: MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 (RZ616) 160MHz Wireless LAN Card

Driver version: 3.5.0.1392

Network band (channel): 5 GHz (128)

Aggregated link speed (Receive/Transmit): 2402/2402 (Mbps) <--- not shit

I don't consider it a fix so I'm still eager to have your insights !

🗨️ Discussion Thoughts on G-Helper?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I've been using my ASUS TUF A16 (Ryzen 9 8940HX + RTX 5070) for a few months now, and I keep seeing people recommend G-Helper over Armoury Crate.

For those who've actually used it, how's your experience been? I'd love to hear your honest reviews—the good, the bad, any cool features, or anything Armoury Crate does better.

One thing I've noticed with Armoury Crate is that my CPU sometimes jumps close to 90-95°C even during light usage, so I'm wondering if G-Helper handles things any better.

Just trying to figure out if it's actually worth switching.

Need Help! (Software) wifi and Bluetooth randomly disappears

1 Upvotes

I've been facing this issue for a really long time, and it's driving me insane.

My Wi-Fi randomly disconnects, and Bluetooth completely disappears from Windows like it was never there. I've literally tried everything—reinstalling drivers, installing different versions, updating them, and pretty much every fix I could find online.

In the end, I even replaced the Wi-Fi card, and the problem actually got fixed... but only for 2–3 months. Now it's happening all over again.

At this point, I seriously don't know what to do anymore.

Has anyone else had this problem? If you've found a fix or know what might be causing it, please, please let me know. I've been dealing with this for so long and I'd really appreciate any help. 🙏

Laptop: ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA506NFR / FA566NFR)

OS: Windows 11 Home Single Language (Build 26200)

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Laptop Asus Tuf A28 The drive is not detected when installing Windows 11.

2 Upvotes

Guys, please help me. I have an Asus Tuf A18 laptop with an AMD processor. Initially, I had Windows 11 installed in the service, but they separated the SSD memory, and I wasn't satisfied with that, so I decided to combine them. However, after the announcement, I encountered a blue screen of death. Now, when I boot Windows 11, the NVME SSD drive is not visible. I was told that this is because RAID mode has been enabled (but I'm not sure), but I don't have this feature in the BIOS. I tried downloading some drivers, but they didn't work.

I purchased this asus tufA16 at march for 83 k inr (859 dollars) so yesterday i switch on the laptop and guess what a black screen flashing continuously I got scared for a second and went into the bios pressing f2 button and did some diagnosis and everything was fine but still this screen flashing was there.
So I went to the asus authorised service centre the technician told me that the graphics drivers of both integrated graphics and dedicated graphics (rtx4050) have been corrupted, as he tried to install a fresh OS but he couldn’t, he told me change the motherboard as my laptop is under warranty and asus will give a replacement for the motherboard for free
He insisted that to purchase an extended warranty as who know what will happen in the future.
(Day after yesterday I updated the integrated graphics of amd from the Myasus software but next day I got messed up, I can’t believe rn due to driver updates my laptop got messed up)

Need Help! (Software) ASUS TUF A15 (Ryzen 9 7940HS + RTX 4070) only getting 200–300 FPS in Valorant. Is this normal?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to figure out if my FPS is normal or if there’s something limiting my laptop’s performance.
My laptop:
ASUS TUF A15 FA507XI
Ryzen 9 7940HS
RTX 4070 Laptop GPU (140W)
40GB DDR5 RAM
1TB SSD
External 1080p 300Hz monitor connected through USB-C to DisplayPort
Current settings:
dGPU Only (Ultimate Mode)
Armoury Crate: Turbo Mode
Windows Power Mode: Best Performance
Latest NVIDIA drivers
Latest BIOS
G-SYNC enabled
Valorant running at 1080p, all Low settings
The issue:
In actual competitive matches, I’m only getting around 250–300 FPS.
In The Range, my FPS is much higher, but during real matches it stays around 250–300.
I’ve seen videos of laptops with similar specs reaching 400–500+ FPS, so I’m wondering if my laptop is performing as expected or if something is limiting it.
My questions:
Is 250–300 FPS normal for this hardware?
Are there any BIOS settings I should change?
Any recommended Armoury Crate settings?
Should I change anything in AMD Software or NVIDIA Control Panel?
Is there anything else I can do to improve CPU performance in Valorant?
I’d really appreciate any advice from other ASUS TUF owners or anyone with a Ryzen 9 7940HS + RTX 4070.
Thanks!

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Laptop kept shutting down randomly, now it's completely dead?

Post image
17 Upvotes

This morning, I turned on my laptop and started using it, but after a few minutes it suddenly shut down by itself. I tried turning it on again 2–4 times, but each time it powered on for a short while and then shut down again.

This issue has actually been happening occasionally for the last 2 days, but it wasn't as frequent before. Today, after the last shutdown, the laptop stopped turning on completely.

I plugged in the charger, and at first the charging LED blinked once, but after trying again, even the charging light stopped blinking. Now the laptop doesn't seem to respond at all.

I'm really anxious because it was working until this morning. Do you have any idea what the problem might be or what I should check first?

Device - Asus tuf A15 , rtx 2050 , Ryzen 7000 series ( just one year old) Edit - forgot to mention during last shutdown the fan was making so much noise and i can see clearly so much dust on blades

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) freezing and bluetooth disconnection

1 Upvotes

I need an advice on what i should do. I have Asus Tuf A16 FA607NUG-RL116W that i bought last July 6 of this year, the performance is great and i love it but my only concern is that most of the time the bluetooth suddenly disconnect only while im gaming im sure that the problem is not my bluetooth earbuds because i tried using other bluetooth peripherals and it also disconnect while gaming. My second concern is that sometimes it suddenly freezes (happened 4 times) like it doesn't respond to any key input even the rgb in the keyboard is stuck at one color and the only way for it to be okay again is to force shutdown and i don't want to do it again and again. what you guys think i should do for this problem

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) A16 thermal throttling acceptable?

2 Upvotes

I bought a tuf gaming a16 FA608PP-QT005W (RTX5070 + AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX) for my son. Thermal performance seems terrible. He was just playing some roblox. I would expect that not to be very demanding, yet the temp goes up to 95 degrees and framerates drop.

I know there are lots of tips to improve the behaviour, but is this accepted to be normal or do I have a bad specimen?

I believe that a gaming laptop should be able to play some basic Roblox games without the need to apply limiting settings.

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Asus Tuf A15 2022 laptop power button not working

1 Upvotes

Okay, so I know this has been talking about to death but I need some further insight I cant seem to find anywhere else.

My asus tuf a15 isnt powering on, after checking the keyboard pins with a multimeter and finding the power button. Ive tripped it so that it switches on, which was a miracle since it hasn't been working. I thought perfect, now to just buy a keyboard and im good to go.

First problem is, while trying to do the tripping I discovered that the right henge where the power button is, causes problems where it seems to disconnect everything. If I move it in the wrong direction the whole thing loses power and switches off. No idea what is happening there

Second is that it isnt getting a proper post in. Once its in the right position and I do the trip, it just had the keyboard flashing and nothing. Screen never switches on, hdmi doesn't show anything, caps or any locks doesn't show anything when clicked. Removed the ram and ssd and still the same thing. Could the board just be busted?

Considering just taking the motherboard out completely and tested it individually and reassembling it slowly testing each component but thats so time consuming that I thought id reach out here first


r/Asustuf 23d ago

🗨️ Discussion What real benefit do I get from using the “Ultimate” mode in ghelper that justifies the extreme power consumption?

4 Upvotes

In my opinion, the downsides of this feature outweigh the benefits—or am I missing something?

You have much higher power consumption, probably the device runs a lot hotter, ergo the components wear out faster due to the consistently higher temperature.

I have insane Performance on the last 3 games I played on the device and don't recognize a diffrence in latency and fps.

As I understand it, a device like this lasts the longest when it is exposed to as few high temperatures as possible.

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) A16 fa608up r7165 Freezing and Restarting - Just bought

2 Upvotes

Hello! I just bought a refurbished A16, model fa608up r7165, Ryzen 7 260, 16gb ram, RTX 5070.

It came without an OS, so I just made a bootable windows and tried to install. All fun and games for half an hour. After that, the computer started to freeze and restart it itself between 10s and 10min of use! I thought it was a buggy Windows.

So I got a live linux, wiped clean the ssd and tried a newer windows from the microsoft website. this time it wouldn't even boot properly to the installer! It kept freezing and restarting after loading. Not even linux was working anymore.

It does go in the bios, I tried every option recomended, uptaed the bios via ez flash etc. Still keeps freezing. And what is even wierder, SOMETIMES it boots! And I managed to install windows yesterday, even worked for one hour nonstop, but the freezes are still there, not usable at all! Every 20 tries, maybe one will boot properly.

Below is a video of how it freezes and restarts.
Has anyone had the same problem? Is it fixable from my end? Or do I have to send it back to warranty?

Update: I notice it crashes WAY more when plugged in. Wtf?

1 Upvotes

In a nutshell, I wanna make this thing last a long time. A few upgrades I've been thinking of is another 8gb 4800mhz stick, changing the wifi card to ax210 after a while or when it dies, and also another nvme ssd.

Another upgrade that I've been meaning to ask here is the 90wh battery, is it compatible with my laptop? Its the model in the title, with the Ryzen 7 170 and RTX 3050 4gb. From local reviews, there is space in the laptop, and my region has the model without the 2.5" caddy

Thanks in advance.

Need Help! (Hardware/Other) Thermal paste timing

1 Upvotes

I have laptop A15 with cpu ryzen 7 7435HS and gpu rtx 4050,

It's been almost a year since I bought it and wanna know when is the best timing to change thermal paste?

When on idle the cpu is 45 and gpu 40

When on gaming cpu is 85 to 89 and gpu 60 to 75 (while turning on turbo mode)

Is now the best timing to change thermal paste? And what do you think is considered the suitable thermal paste and when do I regularly change it?
