I've actually tuned off the turbo boost on my previous AYANEO devices because the 5825U and 6800U seemed to not be able to handle the power draw of the boost. It would throttle the gpus power when the cpu would spike. By disabling turbo boost I could get much smoother if not lower peak fps gaming in BF 2042. However on the Ally I don't have any trouble with it hitching like the older devices would with turbo on. The Ally is the best handheld BF 2042 experience I have had so far.

I find EmuDeck crashes sometimes when you exit games, but for the ease of use and menu system (especially setting up Retroarch), it’s worth the time savings for me.

Amazing help and awesome points. New subscriber here. Your vibe and content are amazing. I just picked up my ally yesterday. Question, by diasbled cpu boost will that ever effect games or functionality?. Have you ran into any of the SD card issues because of temps.
@batpixel 9 місяців тому
Thank you I appreciate that. I never experienced any issues since disabling it, but you can always turn it back on if you are playing a game that is struggling to see if it will help at all. But I would first try other options such as changing the game’s graphical settings to low and playing around with your ROG Ally’s performance options before doing that to save on temperature. I never ran into any issue with my SD card reader luckily, but ASUS is starting a program for anyone who was affected, so they can return their Ally or just get a refund. They are constantly working on updates and changing settings such as how the fans run during gameplay to keep it cooled down, so at least they are doing the right things for their customers and improving it
9 місяців тому
There are CPU intensive games that definitely suffer from limiting the boost , but you can have different profiles , or play with the settings , I found that just creating new manual profile in Armory Crate with all 3 values to same TDP will mostly have the same result , so I created a profile with 15W , another one with 18W and so on for 20W / 22W / 25W , if you game runs good with 18W makes no sense to stay on 20W or 22W

So i want to know that is it possible to connect a usb drive into the ROG deck while also charging the Ally ? Can you perhabs testing it if you happen to have a USB drive laying around ? thanks
@batpixel 9 місяців тому
Yeah you just need a docking station. They just released an update so you can use third party docks now too. I’ve watched UKposts videos where people have external drives hooked up, so definitely watch a couple of videos on it for yourself But like I said if they talk about losing performance from third party docks in any videos, check the date of the video, because the update for third party docks compatibility just recently released and it’s working

@batpixel 9 місяців тому
Yep there’s a risk with the SD and heat. They’ve updated it to run the fans better and mitigate it, but while it’s running hot it can potentially happen. I’m interested to see if they can get rid of that risk completely. They do have a program in place to replace or refund your Ally if it ever did happen. But like you said, it’s a safer bet to go external with the right setup

How do you connect your Xbox controller to the ROG and how do you use mirror for the desktop and TV monitor?
@batpixel 8 місяців тому
Under Windows Bluetooth settings add a Bluetooth device. And then make your Xbox controller search for it (your Xbox controller must have Bluetooth ability) and once you’re connected to your TV through a dock & HDMI cable, you can mirror your display in Windows Display settings. I have links to the official charger dock you can use to connect to your TV in the description, or you can use 3rd party docks since the new update

For specific games, I'd recommend searching forums or videos to see what other users have their settings saved as for the best performance and you can create Game Profiles for each game once you have it figured out like I mentioned in my Advanced Tips video

It would almost sound logical if playing games like Cyberpunk 2077 to not tinker with internal settings to make the game run cooler, you are sacrificing power and that is precisely what that game requires. I have been using SD docking station with external fans for Cyberpunk2077, 30w/1080p/ max settings and seeing temps in the mid70s low 80s 60+ fps. Also if you dock it goes into a sleep state on screen as it mirrors to monitor. Using less power/heat

If you bring up your FPS screen while you’re playing it should help see how it’s performing too. You can also play with various other settings such as the VRAM/GPU settings.

Great video. I’ve had my alley 3 days and I updated everything. I can’t use the gamepad. No matter what game I try none of the keys work. I’m sure it’s me. I looked at maybe 30 videos and I still can’t get the joystick or anything to work. It’s like I have to use a mouse and keyboard. I’ve been settings in each game and set it up for gamepad but it only lets me play like I’m on a pc. Any advice where to go for beginners trying to get controller to work 😢
@batpixel 3 місяці тому
That’s strange. I’d say go into Armoury Crate and make sure your controller settings are set to ‘default’ and also open up your Command Center (left menu button) and you should see a tile there for controller mode and you can choose between ‘gamepad, PC, auto’ try changing it to gamepad mode or auto mode.. if those things don’t work, I’d say call ASUS customer support and they should be able to troubleshoot it with you

The CPU boost will make your system work harder for more demanding games. So that results in the device running at a higher temperature. The issue is, it’s always on and using more resources than it needs to, even with easy to run games. They actually made this a lot easier to turn off/on right inside your command centre now.

Better to hold and controls are super good? Are you just saying that to justify your purchase or have you actually used a steam deck?

Step one is a huge difference in temp and and apu usage. In addition to step 1 I also installed universal x86 tuning utility handheld. I use manual mode and manual fan curve. The power modes get bypassed by universal x86. In x86 I put a tempature limit at 90 Celsius and then I put my apu watts at what ever I think the game requires. Holding both bumpers and the up analog pulls it up in game as well for quick tuning. With x86 you can also force it to go up to 60 watts I believe. On battery I boosted mine to 45watts no issue. Works great. Thank you

@batpixel 7 місяців тому
If you've used my first tip about turning off performance boost, you may want to undo it for certain games. It may need that little extra. You could also get into the BIOS and try the games at 6G of memory and 4G and see how they perform. It sounds counter intuitive, but give it a try. You should also Google those games specifically and see what other users are using for the Ally. That is what I did for Battlefield 2042 to get the best performance. If you're playing in handheld mode, if you plug the console in you'll get higher wattage available for performance. If your controls are not working properly, try reinstalling the games and resetting your controller buttons in the Armory Crate settings. Check your controller settings in the game. There are several factors that could be changed in order to get the best performance, it's really about getting used to all the different settings and also finding settings other users are using for certain games out there. Keep in mind that you can create Game Profiles for each game once you find what works the best, see my Advanced Tips video for that

You can turn it off and on pretty easily just by clicking on it once you have it setup. So I would recommend trying it out and see how your games perform. If any of them are laggy compared to before, try turning on aggressive again to give them a bit of extra boost. You could also try debloating a bunch of the system’s software using a program from GitHub to free up some RAM (there are really good guides on this on UKposts and I may make one myself soon)
