ROG GAMING CENTER download link?

[Frost]

I have GL553VD and i just reinstalled Windows 10.. but i can't find my laptop's CD Driver.. I searched online and able to download the drivers except for ROG Gaming Center.. The ASUS Download Center doesn't include ROG Gaming Center in their driver list.. And searching through official ROG website leads me back to the Download Center.

It's bloatware, you don't need it. All it does is slow down your machine.

Yep. Your PC is better without it, it's unlikely you'd ever actually use it.

I have a GL503VM and I agree with the posters above. It's bloatware and doesn't do anything Afterburner can do. If you want a ROG alternative to Afterburner, get GPU Tweak 2.

Still, I prefer Afterburner.

While you are there, get their GPU Z and CPU Z as well. Those are great at collecting system info.

can it also do fanboost? I only use ROG Gaming Center only to control fanboost tho.. since my room sometimes gets hot

You don't need to control the fans. The laptop will do that on it's own.

If you mean the little "Overboost" button, I tried that and I saw no difference in how the fans moved on my system. At least on my GL503VM, I can't even set a fan curve. The fan control is locked out on all software I tried.

Now, instead of direct fan control, GPU tweak 2 offers a "Temperature target" slider. I set mine to 85c. Though I assume this does not mean the fans will work harder. It may mean that the GPU will begin throttling a bit earlier, which is fine for me. I worry more about not frying my GPU (which could shoot to 92c easily on Sword Art Online FB) than losing some framerate once in a blue moon.

well it works like a charm for the GPU.. i limit it to 75C and it never goes above that while using GPUTweak. But the CPU still gets to 87C sometimes.. i used to use ROG Gaming Center to boost the fan to the Max to get my CPU temp down to 80C even though not always as effective.

Not sure what to use for CPU fan since that fan is as locked as the GPU one. Still a quick check in the bios wouldn't hurt. If no luck there, try contacting Asus support to see if you can get yourself a download link for the gaming center.

EDIT: I think I found your gaming center.

Here's the thing, when I went for the Drivers and Downloads section, after clicking on the OS selection space, I couldn't get it to display the downloads using Chrome. I had to switch to Firefox. Under Utilities, there's a "show all" button. The download is named "Asus Gaming Center" and it's on version 2.1.5.

With some asus utilities you should try looking at similar products support pages and it might be listed there, worth a shot was able to find AI suite type stuff that way for myself.

yeah i just realised that when playing GTAV my CPU heats up to 87C but weirdly the GPU stays at 60-70C..

I am having an issue with ROG Gaming Center... I was told to go to this file *Pretend I typed it here* And run it, and it runs and all and I used, repair. But while it was "repairing" it, it stopped saying 2 or 3 files were missing, and then it rewind?.......... How to fix something that fixer won't even work?

It doesn't slow down my machine. It stops software from running and frees ram. And it gives info about your cores.

Yes it does, if it's noticable or not that doesn't matter. It runs in the background taking up CPU time for no benefit.

If you don't want certain software to run don't start it or prevent it from starting on boot. Maybe you should learn how to do this basic level Windows system administation.

"Let's install bloatware to close down Skype for us for little to no benefit because we are too lazy to do it ourselfs."

Whoohoo, a resource hogging, data mining, security risk gives you system info which is of no benefit to you..

Well it doesn't slow down mine's. And if it is hogging too much then that means your's got infected by a virus. Run a scan!!! And for your slow mind to know, I am a programmer, I know a lot more than you think, and you clearly know nothing about computers. And no it doesn't. It doesn't even take 1% of my system's resource. So there for, you need to run a full system scan. If you are using ASUS, run a scan for Shadow Hammer. And my Skype auto closes when I close it because it is up too date. Try using the updated version of your apps. You shouldn't be running into these issues unless you only got 1GB of ram....

And besides, it stops software that you can't stop by your self. It has more admin rights than you do. Clearly you didn't know this.

ASUS got hacked though.

Sorry but I doubt your claims based on the statements that you have made. Everything you said so far is incorrect.

Althrough I have encountered programmers who have grandma-level technical skills. So I guess it's possible.

Everyone, User, Administator, System. Those are all the levels of administrative access a personal Windows has by default.

A program running as user or admin can't close applications, services or interact with files belonging to the system. If something belongs to the system you are not suposed to touch it.

You can change all this stuff, maybe don't install crap like Asus ROGGS and you wouldn't need more bloatware to shut it all down.

Windows has a Gamemode build-in, maybe use that.


Windows users.. Stop installing third party malware to do stuff Windows already can do on it's own. And learn how to manage your system.

It's not just my claims, this was from Microsoft as well. And what wasn't correct? I even just googled this and everything I said was correct. Where is your proof? Have you ever made something that can bypass any AV?... You got videos showing proof that you can program, let alone create anything using a circuit testing board?... And I know all about accounts on the Windows system.. I been using computers longer than you have for one and two, before you were even born.... My family were the ones that started it before it was taken over and name changed. It was known as MSDOS. And Gamemode Built-In, has more lag than Game Center.... And are you slow? I never said anything about me installing this stuff, it's built in. And it isn't called ROGGS.
