Armoury Crate showing frequency instead of temperature

Support

So, just updated armoury crate to the latest version, I know many think it's useless but it's an Asus laptop so feels justified to use it somehow, and it's now showing my CPU's frequency on the main left performance display which is completely useless. It used to show temperature which is much more useful.

I can't for the life of me find a way to change it. It's happened once before and then a restart of the PC fixed it but no such luck this time. Any help would be appreciated.

Guess I'm part of the "This just happened to me" also crowd.

Came here to inquire myself. I use Armory Crate to keep an eye on temperatures while I'm figuring out settings for games. Showing the frequency in the main display is not helpful, I need the temperature back.

Yeah me too. Giving us the choice to put whatever we want would be the smartest but if not temperature is so much more useful than frequency.

how do you monitor CPU temps in it? there is no option for monitoring it in my asus tuf a15

ButterMilkHoney•

It’s there for me. Not sure what to do in your scenario. Here’s a tip tho, if you can’t find your discrete gpu, it may be because your computer was using the integrated graphics on the cpu. To counteract this, make sure you’re running a game or something like that BEFORE opening MSI Afterburner/RTSS. Also, make sure it’s not listed in Startup Apps

I can find my CPU, I just cannot find my CPU

Also having this issue. Thought it was something I had done as I’ve only had the laptop for 2 days and it was working fine when I first set it up. The update has also bricked the Aura Sync feature. Not impressed at all.

You have to do a full reinstall of armory crate

joonssonOP•

All that did was break the CPU temp display entirely, fixed it by restarting some services but reinstalling doesn't fix the issue.

by "break the CPU temp display" did you mean the temp on the side of the big dial is displaying high temps on the CPU. because that's what I'm getting right now

1
joonssonOP•

No. For me doing a full reinstall made the CPU temp display as 0 until I manually restarted some services.

Did u uninstall it in control panel or did u use asus's armory crate uninstaller?

1
joonssonOP•

Used the uninstaller. I had already tried uninstalling normally and that did nothing, but using the uninstaller didn't work either.

Just came here, sure I missed a way to select the displayed information back to temperature! What the hell, Asus?

Same issue here. So unhelpful.

Same issue here. Amazed that the big wheel isn’t easily customizable

same, would rather have it show temp or give us away to change it ourselves.

Armory Crate is a hot mess. Garbage software that is buggy as hell and simply doesn't play nice on any of my computers or with other software. On 3 AM4 builds with 2 ROG ASUS Motherboards, the RGB software was always crashing and then not recognizing the various RGB Hardware after a while. I use other programs for temps, rgb lighting, system info, etc.

So many companies struggle with basic software but are able to master complex hardware.

So glad it's not just me!

I just updated the other day and noticed this change as well... I've spent last night and today pulling my hair out trying to find a setting that got changed.

How is this not a setting somewhere to define what is shown on the main dial?!?

i got the same issue and it's freak me out

a_shr3xydud•

yep, but for me it also introduced that old ass bug where your cpu idles at 90+ degrees. didnt have that last version, using a tuf a15 2022

same here, any fixes?

1
a_shr3xydud•

the workaround is to open armoury crate, then close it, then open task manager and end task for 'armourycrate user session' or something named like that. if you sort by cpu usage it should be at the top

1
a_shr3xydud•

just found out its only temporarily fixed by doing this.

No_House5107•

Same happened to me. In task manager "ARMOURY CRATE User Session Helper" uses %10 of cpu. End task is fix for me

Hi have you found any fixes for this? Getting the same temps while idling.
