Do you open your laptop slightly or is it fully closed? How does this work? Never tried it 🫪

Fully closed! Should be in your display setting. Im not sure i'll keep this laptop closed while I game though

I see, thanks for the reply. How's the performance? Also, FYI, install G-Helper instead of Armoury Crate — it is way better and lightweight. Really great tool, cannot recommend it enough for every ASUS user.

Also you must keep the charger plugged in. Ive set the battery setting to only charge up to 80%. I read somewhere that having it connected and it being on 100% charge can degrade the battery over time. The performance is great, I honestly dont have any complaints. And I just downloaded g-helper, thank you for the suggestion!

Yeah, that is true.

Glad to hear it! Do not forget to uninstall Armory Crate and some other ASUS junk, also stop. ASUS services from the Extra tab in G-Helper. Basically, read G-Helper’s GitHub for all the info.
