 ### Should I apply custom PPTs and fan profiles?
-You don't have to, it's purely optional. From my experience built in (in bios) performance modes work well. Limit your power or apply custom fan curves only if you have issues. As sooon as you click Apply in fan + power section bios will be considering fan profile as "custom"! (no matter if you modified it or not)

 ### How does G-helper control my fan speeds?
 It doesn't. Your bios does (same as in case with armoury). What G-helper can do - is (optionally) set a custom fan profile to current performance mode consisting of 8 pairs of temperature + fan speed % via same endpoint armoury seem to use.

 ### Can I use MyASUS app along with G-Helper?
-Sure, you can! The only problem is that MyASUS may override battery charge limit that you set before. My advice in such case would be to set same limit (i.e. 80%) in both MyASUS and G-Helper.

 ### How do I uninstall G-helper?
 G-helper is a single exe, and it doesn't install anything in the system. To remove it - you can simply delete exe :) If you have applied any custom fan profiles or PPTs - before removing I would recommend selecting your favorite performance mode (for example balanced) and clicking "Factory defaults" under Fans + Power.
