The Armoury Crate app helps you manage every aspect of your rig - from initial setup to RGB illumination. Pinpoint the latest updates, drivers, manuals and offers, and connect instantly with your gaming peers.

Can Armoury Crate be used with other hardware brands?

No, Armoury Crate is designed to work exclusively with Asus-branded hardware. For other brands, you can use alternatives like MSI Center, Gigabyte Control Center, or third-party tools such as Signal RGB or FanControl.

Why do I need Asus Armoury Crate?

You need Armoury Crate if you own an Asus laptop, desktop, motherboard, or peripheral and want to unlock its full feature set. It centralizes control over your system's performance, lighting, and hardware behavior. On laptops, it's often required for full fan control, performance modes (e.g., Turbo/Silent), and keyboard lighting. On desktops, it's more optional-especially if you use third-party tools like Signal RGB or FanControl. However, some features, such as BIOS updates or Aura Sync, may only work through Armoury Crate.
