None, if it can be avoided. Use FanControl for fans, if BIOS control isn’t enough for you (BIOS is often plenty). SignalRGB for RGB. Only download Armoury Crate if you get desperate. HWiNFO for temperature and system metric monitoring. Answer from 9okm on reddit.com

Do I need all this Asus stuff for anything, or are all these processes just eating up performance? I have an Asus TUF Gaming F15 2021 Laptop running newest Win11 beta build 22622.598.
What I would do is just disable all that stuff from startup, and then use your PC like normal for a week to see any difference before uninstalling. Some of those programs may do things like control functions on your keyboard or automatically adjust your fans. No harm will come from disabling or uninstalling them, but if they are disabled it is easy to undo if you find you are missing something. More on reddit.com

What Asus software can I get rid of?

The last two (the wallpaper stuff) if you do not use ASUS animated wallpaper.

The other two are important and should not be uninstalled.

r/buildapc on Reddit: What software of ASUS should I install?
March 24, 2025 -

I installed my new Asus rog X870-A Gaming WiFi motherboard. Asus itself gives you software recommendations to install, but I wanted to ask which ones you guys recommend before doing so.

Also, I have a question, what's the Asus software to be able to see the temperatures of the CPU, GPU and be able to control the RGB?

My CPU is a Ryzen 7 9700x
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM (2x16GB) CL30 6000

These are the programs that are recommended:
-AIDA64 Extreme
-Armoury Crate Installer
-CPUID ROG CPU-Z
-DolbyAccess_ROG
-USB Wattage Watcher
