# G-Helper (For G14, G15, ROG FLOW, and others)
|
|
|
|
A small utility that allows you do almost everyting you could do with Armory Crate but without extra bloat and unnecessary services.
|
|
|
|
1. Switch between default **Performance modes** - Silent / Balanced / Turbo and apply default fan curves
|
|
2. Switch between Eco / Standard or Ultimate **GPU modes**
|
|
3. Change laptop screen refresh rate - 60hz or your maximum (120hz, 144hz, etc depending on the model) with display overdrive (OD)
|
|
4. View default fan profiles for every mode and apply custom ones
|
|
5. Control keyboard backlit animation and colors
|
|
6. Set battery charge limit to preserve battery
|
|
7. Monitor CPU temperature, fan speeds and battery discharge rate
|
|
8. **Automatically switch to Eco(iGPU)/60hz on battery** and back to Standard(GPU)/120hz modes when plugged
|
|
9. Support for M4 key / FN+F5 to cycle through performance modes (with OSD notification) and FN+F4 to cycle through keeyboard animation modes
|
|
10. Turn cpu turbo boost on/off with one checkbox to keep temps cooler
|
|
|
|
Designed and developer for Asus Zephyrus G14 2022 (with AMD Radeon iGPU and dGPU). But could and should potentially work for G14 of 2021 and 2020, G15, X FLOW, and other ROG models for relevant and supported features.
|
|
|
|
To keep autoswitching and hotkeys work app needs to stay in running in tray. It doesn't consume any resources.

## Performance Profile switching
|
|
|
|
Profiles are **same** as in Armory Crate, including default fan curves
|
|
|
|
1. Silent (minimal or no fans, 70W PPT total, up to 45W PPT to CPU)
|
|
2. Balanced (balanced fans, 100W PPT total, up to 45W PPT to CPU)
|
|
3. Turbo (intense fans, 125W PPT total, up to 80W PPT to CPU)
|
|
|
|
PPTs are shown for G14 2022, for other models PPTs will be different as they are set in bios.
|
|
|
|
## GPU Modes
|
|
|
|
1. Eco mode : only low power integrated GPU enabled, iGPU drives built in display
|
|
2. Standard mode (Windows Hybrid) : iGPU and dGPU enabled, iGPU drives built in display
|
|
3. Ultimate mode: iGPU and dGPU enabled, but dGPU drives built in display (supported only on G14 2022 model)
|
|
|
|
## Things still missing
|
|
|
|
1. Anime matrix control
|
|
2. Custom bindings for M1-M3 keys
|
|
|
|
## How to install
|
|
|
|
1. Download latest release from https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/releases
|
|
2. Unzip to a folder of your choice
|
|
3. Run **GHelper.exe**
|
|
|
|
Note: Uses low level ASUS ACPI commands to do switching and doens't require Armory Crate to be isntalled at all.
|
|
Doesn't require administrator privileges to run (anymore)!
|
|
|
|
I don`t have Microsoft certificate to sign app yet, so if you set a warning from Windows Defender on launch (Windows Protected your PC), click More Info -> Run anyway.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can comile and run project by yourself :)
|
|
Settings file is storer at %AppData%\GHelper
|
|
|
|
P.S.: It's not recommended to use app in combination with Armory Crate, cause they adjust same settings.
|
|
Please keep in mind, that if you also run MyASUS app periodically it will also try to adjust same battery charge settings
