I tested my ROG ALLY X sleep mode battery drain in both Windows and SteamOS (Dual Boot) and got a pretty surprising results! Can you guys explain these? Anything I'm missing here? Or did they just fix it?
Hello everyone, I’ve got an Ally x and the controls have all of a sudden stopped working, I’ve tried rebooting, uninstalling, etc etc I have no idea how to fix this. I believe the issue is to do with armoury crate as it’s not properly installed since the last update and is stuck in a loop of installing itself and telling em to reopen or close the app to finish the process, how do I fix this? Thanks in advance
I found those settings very good looking. On top of that i’ve limited my fps to 40 so frametime is really stable and it makes game feel really smooth. I couldn’t achieve stable 60 fps on low settings even on 720p, so I’ve decided to settle down for some compromise, and i think this is it. I don’t use any FG like optiscaler or LS here to get the most stable result. In AMD adrenalin i’ve enabled only radeon antilag and RIS for slightly better sharpness.
Hello guys, I own Rog Ally (z1e), so to speak, white.
I used it intensively for a good year, and I remember that temperatures remained at normal limits and some occasional peaks at 90 degrees; then, because I needed a Windows PC that consumed very little to keep a program running 24/7, I decided to put it at 10w and left it there for a year and a year.
I left my fixed life to my wife for 2 weeks now because she decided to play it too, so I'm using it again to play something "light."
I'm playing the Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remastered, I found myself in fixed 90/95 degrees, with 100% fans and 80% gpu and 15% cpu.
Could it be time to change the thermal pad? I have heard that a thermal paste does not improve the situation.
Asus has updated its ROG Ally every year since 2023, always unveiling the new model between April and June. Do you think that will be the case again this year? An OLED display would be nice, and maybe a larger screen as well.
Hello fellow Ally-ians (if thats a thing) lol
I bought a launch day Rog Ally X in August 2024 after a painful 8 months of ownership of Legion Go.
Its been almost 2 years of owning Rog Ally X and it surprises me every single day. I have had around 1000 flight hours with it. Just downloaded Forza 6 and i am blown away yet again by the amazing performance,
My Setup Includes:
2 TB SSD 980 Pro from Samsung
Killswitch from Dbrand
Super weird issue that I’ve been having for two ish months.
the Issue I have is that my WiFi connects but I have no internet access. Sometimes it connects with Internet access but as soon as I start either Steam Or the google web browser. It disconnects by itself. Weirdly it works completely fine with my mobile hotspot from my iPhone.
Went in armory crate and MyAsus, everything is up to date.
Went to the WiFi and “forget Network” rest and connected and still fails.
If anyone can suggest some help to fix I appreciate it. Thanks everyone
Hello everyone, I was hoping to find someone who has the knowledge to help me fix my ally (Z1E). Recently it stopped updating windows updates which I think is what is causing my Xbox app to fail (requires update but doesnt show in store). I cant update windows because it just fails and when I tried resetting while keeping files the other day it also failed at about 61%. Ive also noticed my armory crate wont update either to 2.1 and im really hoping someone here can help cause id really like to get new games for my ally! Thank you in advance!
Does anyone know if the recent update fixed the drivers or have they even said anything about fixing the drivers for those still on older Z1 models?
It just closes/crashes the game right? Wtf. Was it like this with other fh games?
it says “A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine.” idk what that means. what do I have to do to fix this. I have an X box edition if that counts for anything
Does the ROG Ally Z1 Extreme give the exact same performance at fixed 25W manual TDP on battery and while plugged in?
I’m NOT talking about 30W Turbo mode.
Just 25W vs 25W.
Same FPS/clocks/frame times, or is plugged-in performance still better even at the same wattage?
Are there any updates on the device ? Except for the windows update ? Do you guys feel any problems with updates and all ?
I bought a hard carrying case a few days ago since I commute a lot by train and the Ally makes my daily ride more enjoyable. The case came only with a handle. I realised there wasn't really a basic hard case that has a sling strap that I can just carry on my shoulder like a bag. Hence why this idea came up.
I literally just poked two holes with a tiny screwdriver to fit those screws from inside of the case and attached the D-ring buckles. So far I really like it!
I’ve been a console gamer for as long as I remember, it was simple you buy the game at GameStop / EB Games, you plug and play.
Even though PC gaming is technically better, there were always little grips and bugs that deterred me away, whether it’s friends computers having weird issues, the constant windows bloat and updates or Angry Joe Reviews saying “X” game is a cheap PC port and runs better on consoles.
But now, consoles aren’t looking that great.
It’s a weird feeling knowing that if I buy a game on PSN that I can’t play years later whenever I want, the lack of compatibility or worse paying for the “PS5 edition” on games I bought several years ago. Then charging monthly fees just play games with friends. It’s just annoying to be honest.
So I thought fully switching over, I already have the Xbox Ally X , so I’m headed in the right direction
I wanted to heard from the people whose main gaming console , what were the requirements or checks needed for you for this to be your main driver?
(Looking for inspiration, to form a list of my own)
Looking for solid options in North America/Canada.
Hi, i’ve been trying to switch to steamOS on my ally, but when i boot from the usb with the recovery image the screen is just black, and there is no feedback or text like the tutorial i watched. Does it depend on speed and do i just wait for it to load, or should it boot instantly?
I got it for my girlfriend and it would be embarrasing if i didn’t get it to work😓
The video i followed was this one: https://youtu.be/mzrtVNjyuk0?is=\_pOYdPDVCpX82M3r
Wondering if I should buy a secondhand Z1E off fb marketplace for 700AUD(500USD) (includes a dock and case, the guy has the receipt from march last year and condition seems legit) or a brand new Xbox ally from jb for 800AUD. (570USD)
I plan on using just plugged in to the wall mostly around the house or other places, cod zombies and mid to lightweight steam and Xbox backlog.
I know that apparently the Z1E is a bit more powerful, and after buying a case for the Xbox ally it will be almost 200aud more expensive than the Z1E but I’m not sure if the performance increase is worth buying second hand and such (plus it’s not as comfortable, or may have limited support compared to Xbox ally)
(For reference, the Xbox ally x is 1800AUD (1280USD) so it’s just not worth it)
(Deciding between the base white Xbox ally and the Z1E Rog ally)
TLDR: Go to advance mode; go to security, ensure this the state:
Platform Mode: Setup
Secure Boot : Not active
So how to do it?
That would restore to keys to factory, In my case i can see that some of thet keys have been modified and when i tried to delete it, it fails
Then
At this point the platform mode should be at setup and secure boot at not active, save and reboot one last time. and do the normal asus cloud recovery.
Here's the full story of this ally deal, I bought this used ally but the previous owner borked it's windows installation
The previous owner of this ally tried reformating the windows 11 install via the reset this PC but in the middle of it the ally drained of battery and it corrupted the install, his story is he thought the ssd is broken so he brought the ally to the technician and the technician pulled the ssd and he sold it to me without one. He later then sold the SSD to the technician (his friend) when the tech formatted it and yeah it's fine.
Then I bough a Kioxia BG5 1tb of FB marketplace for only (3350 PHP) and tried the normal asus cloud recovery but when i clicked continue it just boots into bios. The fix above fixed this issue
