Running an ASUS or ROG motherboard, laptop or peripherals? ASUS Armoury Crate brings system stats, performance modes, fan control and RGB lighting into one dashboard and groups ASUS and ROG device settings, updates, and game-library tools in a single interface.
Device controls and system status
The dashboard displays system information and provides access to performance modes and fan-speed controls. Available options depend on the ASUS hardware in the PC: motherboard controls include FanXpert, while supported keyboards and mice can expose macro, key-assignment, or performance settings.
Device pages also bring together model-specific options such as OLED panel settings, wireless power controls, firmware updates, manuals, and drivers. Armoury Crate can register ASUS products and gather updates for supported hardware.
Aura Sync lighting
Aura Sync synchronizes lighting effects across compatible components and peripherals. Choose an effect and color treatment, then apply it to the connected Aura Sync devices. Available lighting controls vary by product.
- Some ASUS motherboards provide RGB and addressable-header controls.
- Supported keyboards, mice, headsets, graphics cards, and other devices can expose their own lighting settings.
Scenario Profiles and games
Scenario Profiles associate preferred operating modes and other system settings with individual applications or games. Armoury Crate can switch to the assigned profile when that software runs, so a game and a work application can use different configurations.
Game Library organizes games downloaded to the PC. The app also includes Game Deals, where users can browse rotating game discounts.
Advanced lighting and customization
For more detailed lighting layouts, Aura Creator provides a video-editing-style workspace for building layered LED effects. Armoury Crate also offers desktop themes intended to coordinate the Windows look with an ASUS gaming setup.
