Familiar controls.
A lot more considered.

Name and manage complete performance plans, personalize the controls you reach for, and move through a quieter Windows desktop shell.

01Personal Home

A Home that fits you.

Add, remove and reorder everyday controls. Home keeps its own layout, separate from Quick Panel, while your device name and locally available ASUS artwork bring your machine into view.

The right place for drivers.

Scan for official ASUS packages. Compare installed and available versions, then filter updates, current and optional packages.

03Native Windows shell

A calmer desktop.

Choose the Arsenal theme for its own settings rows, sections and motion. The title bar keeps navigation close, while an open section gets its own heading, path and back control.

Inside the current Windows app

More of the detail lives in Arsenal.

The current stable Windows build reads the battery report in place and includes PC-side remote access controls. Remote access also needs a compatible paired Android client; check Download for its package status.

01 of 06 · Performance

Performance

Silent, Balanced and Turbo come from your ASUS firmware. Arsenal keeps named custom plans beside them, each carrying its own power limits, CPU behaviour and fan curves.

What Arsenal exposes

7 controls
  • Silent, Balanced and Turbo, straight from the BIOS
  • Named custom plans inherited from the plan you are using
  • A plan library for selecting, renaming and removing custom plans
  • Per-plan SPL, SPPT and FPPT power limits
  • CPU boost policy and a temperature ceiling
  • Curve Optimizer undervolt on supported Ryzen parts
  • Per-mode fan curves for CPU, GPU and mid fans

Worth knowing

  • Where it livesThe performance row on Home and Quick Panel, with the full library on the Performance page.
  • Starting pointA new custom plan inherits the plan you are using, so you only change what should differ.
  • Applied togetherPower limits, boost policy, temperature ceiling and fan curves are written when the plan is applied.
02 of 06 · Graphics

Graphics

Four GPU modes, the clock and power headroom around them, and a clear view of what is still holding the dedicated GPU before you switch away from it.

What Arsenal exposes

5 controls
  • Eco, Standard, Ultimate and Optimized GPU modes
  • Core and memory clock offsets
  • Dynamic Boost, TGP and temperature target
  • Lists the apps holding the dGPU before an Eco switch
  • XG Mobile detection and handover

Worth knowing

  • Three states and a ruleEco, Standard and Ultimate are hardware states. Optimized is Arsenal moving between Eco and Standard with the power source.
  • Before an Eco switchThe applications currently using the dedicated GPU are listed, so you can close them rather than guess.
  • RestartsMoving into or out of Ultimate can ask for a restart. That depends on the MUX in your model.
03 of 06 · Display

Display

Refresh rate, panel overdrive, colour, and the panel-specific controls your model exposes — Mini-LED zoning, OLED dimming, or neither of them.

What Arsenal exposes

6 controls

  • Automatic refresh rate on AC and battery
  • Mini-LED multi-zone toggle
  • OLED dimming with the GameVisual Disabled state respected
  • GameVisual profiles, gamut and white point

Worth knowing

  • Refresh rateSet it directly, or let Arsenal move between two rates as you plug in and unplug.
  • Overdrive stays yoursPanel overdrive is its own control rather than something that silently follows the refresh rate.
  • ColourGameVisual profiles, gamut and white point, plus installing the ASUS ICC profile made for your panel.
04 of 06 · Battery
