Playing everything I throw at it, I have a 5080 desktop for any heavy games but laying in bed playing FC27, undisputed, PGA, rocket leauge man I should of got one earlier lol

Z1E

I just got home from work and grabbed my ROG Ally to play some games. Suddenly, I started hearing this weird noise, and I noticed that the games I launched were running much slower than usual.
Everything was working fine before, so I’m not sure what happened. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Does anyone know what could be causing it?

ps: I did clean the fans but it still does the noises

Trying to delete windows login, however it is greyd out to toggle that off. I tryed command center and it said access denied as well. Any help here?

Secondly do yall recommend doing a full setup? Doc station, monitor, fan, controller/keyboard? If so any best recommendations?

I saw Galactic Racer was free to stream on Amazon Luna. I recently played through Dispatch on it with my Ally Z1E and had a great experience, so thought I'd try out Galactic Racer.

The controls don't work. Yes, I have it switched to gamepad mode, and Luna gives the "your controller is all set up" notification. It has significant lag (like half second) on racing controls. Maybe 2 seconds lag in the menu, and the inputs seem to "jam up" and then go through all at once. Some inputs don't work. Switching to the Desktop/virtual mouse control mode (I forget what that's called on the Ally), and the inputs that DO work have NO lag, so I don't believe it is a streaming latency thing.

This behavior is consistent between streaming via Edge or the Luna desktop application. Works great on my desktop PC.

Anybody else try this? Any ideas?

I tried to replace the thermal paste with ptm7950

My temps were 85 at 15w and 95 at 20w, 2 fans in max

What should I do to continue in this repair?

I switched from a switch lite to an asus rog ally z1 extreme, I've upgraded the battery to 74wh and ssd to 2tb, OMG, big f*skin change, I love it and all the differences are significantly noticeable, I'm glad I made the switch, i have 15 AAA games and still have 1.2TB left. I'm sooooo happy about the switch.

'New function of Audio' is listed in the changes, but there's no additional detail as to what this actually means.

Hey guys

I had checked my armory crate today and there's update you can download but you can't install it dose anyone know about it?

I have tried removing the screws and taking apart but the top 5 screws refuse to come out idk what to don

So I just got a rog xbox ally x earlier this month. I've completely reset windows and Uninstalled armory crate and reinstalled, and still nothing.

On all the preset tdp settings the fans do not turn on at all. Ends up getting really hot and thermal throttling. however in custom, the fans work perfectly fine. I've tried everything possible found on Google and still nothing. Using custom is fine but being able to one click ajust the tdp would be nice.

I also wanted to ask others that have the same device what kinda frames there getting cause it seems low to me.

Baldurs gate 3 (act 1) no matter my settings cannot get past a steady 45 frames. And exactly the same for destiny 2. Both can reach like 55 and occasionally 60 frames but it's like i can put ultra settings and get around 30fps, or super performance everything on low and 720p and only get like a 10-15 frame boost. Im running 8gb Vram.

Every possible update has been updated and my TDP in manual i set to 35 just to see what frames I can get. And it's super good temps too, im at like 60c-up to like 78c absolutely maxed out as I can.

The game launches, and then crashes. It has done this ever since I got my XAX.

Tomorrow's the day! I'm switching from the original X to the X20 coming out, and I'm wanting to see if I can just take my SSD from one to the other without issue. I'm sure I'll have to update some drivers and things, but it's a 4TB and I don't want to have to wipe the drive first if possible. Any assistance is appreciated!

I wanted to see if the Ally could replace my laptop for light work and docked gaming during a short trip. The performance was fine for what I expected. The real eye opener was how much the screen and stand setup mattered once I stopped treating it like a tiny PC.

A cheap adjustable stand plus a second screen I already owned made the experience feel closer to a real desk than any spec upgrade would. Battery while docked is a non issue but heat management needs attention if you push it for long sessions.

Curious how others here balance the portable side with the docked side. Do you keep one fixed setup or rebuild it each time you travel.

This lil machine has been a life saver whilst recovering in hospital for a week. Playing my childhood favourite games has been so much fun!~ where have you all used yours?

My favorite game of all time is Satisfactory.

I repair a lot of these gaming handhelds, ROG Allys especially. I wanted to highlight the most common hardware failure I see on these in case you find yourself in a similar situation as my customer here.

If you find your Ally X throwing a “hot USB port” error, inconsistent charging, or no power after letting the battery drain fully then it’s likely your unit has this issue. One, two, or more of these charge circuit related MOSFETs fail internally in a way that cause these problems. It’s simple enough to diagnose and fix.

Pic 1: These are typically the components I see typically go. Sometimes it’s all 4, just 1, maybe 2, etc.

Pic 2: My customer’s repair ticket. Gives some context behind what led up to the issue.

Pic 3: a thermal cam POV, an easy way to diagnose is seeing if the FET produces a significant heat signature. You can also use your fingers (ouch) or spray some isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher).

Pic 4: DMM testing. Another more accessible way to test is just to see if you have a continuous or near continuous path between the MOSFETs drain and source. That 0.003 reading is indicative of a faulty chip.

Pic 5: Just a photo of my replacing the components.

Pic 6: With the 65W charger connected and powering on the device we can see that the MOSFETs are no longer generating a heat signature indicating an internal fault. Off camera I also see that the ammeter is showing a steady high charge current.

Feel free to reach out with any questions! I made a short video showcasing this particular repair if you’re interested:

I've updated all possible drivers / updates in windows, myasus , and armoury crate alongside turning off fast startups. It can happen once booting up the ally or mid game. Any possible solutions for this?

Hi,

Can someone share their fan curve. I am thinking of 22w as that is the sweet spot I think but just want to check what will be the best fan curve to get most cooling as I am using a pre-installed one and it is not that great.

The game which I play is emulato and some crysis, story games & racing games

Just wondering if anyone is able to help as I've tried a bunch of things and none have worked so far

I've been playing slime rancher 2 the past few weeks on my Rog ally through steam and everything's been fine until today. When I tried opening it today I got a pop up saying "Fatal Error: Failed to load il2cpp" and a notification from windows defender saying it blocked the GameAssembly dll file .

After checking windows defender, turning ALL the options off and adding the games folder to exclusions (as well as the steamapps common folder where all my steam games are downloaded and the dll file extension) I tried again. No luck

I deleted the game assembly file and reinstalled it by verifying the files on steam. This also didn't work. Tried again after deleting and reinstalling the whole game to similar results.

Updated windows and whatever needed updating through armour crate.

I tried updating/repairing visual c++

I ran both the game and steam as administrator

tried creating another windows profile because I saw that might work.

Nothing I've tried has worked and I genuinely don't know what else to do, just wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue or if anyone has any ideas. Thank you 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Hello everyone.

I’ve recently been playing Minecraft with my girlfriend ( bedrock gamepass) I’m on my ps5, and she uses my Rog Ally. It’s been working fine for months, then last night we were having problems with her accidentally tapping the screen and Minecraft would resort back to the touchscreen controls.

After fooling around with settings trying to disable the screen to prevent that from happening, after I thought I had solved it, I realized the controller no long responds correctly to inputs on Minecraft. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the controller working correctly again. I can look around, raise my shield, but cannot walk, move or do anything else.
