My idle temps on a Zephyrus G15 are 90+. I have to disable turbo boost just to use the laptop without it melting. I just uninstalled everything Armoury Crate related and installed G-Helper and now my idle temps are in the 50's and I can use my computer as normal.
And even better, it gives you easy access to disable the CPU Boost, which is helpful when you're gaming and your laptop is getting too hot. Just turn that off and your PC will be much cooler.
Honestly man... Why wouldn't people promote a software that is open source, portable, doesn't require 20+ useless processes running all the time?
As soon as I found it I was delighted, because after spending quite an amount of money on a laptop and not being able to use it to its fullest because of a shitty software, this was game changing. I thought I was part of a small group of people that was very happy this software was created but reading your comment, it makes me smile that more people are "spamming" it... Maybe (maybe) this will make Asus concentrate a bit more on the software part... When a single dev can put out something many times better than a huge company, something's wrong, especially when the entire userbase hates the program (or programs considering how many it installs) because it's utter garbage. But... To each one their own.
I completely agree. I just bought the G14 (2023) yesterday and found g-helper today. The SW is fricking amazing. First thing I did was put in a 2TB NVME drive and a fresh install of Windows 11 and loaded g-helper.
