ASUS AI Advisor

ASUS AI Advisor is an ASUS technical expert that's always available to answer your questions. Owners of compatible ASUS motherboards can interact with this AI-powered technology using natural language to learn more about their hardware. For DIY beginners, it can provide easy-to-understand explanations of one-click optimisation features like AI Overclocking and fan speed tuning, and for seasoned PC-building veterans, it can offer guidance and instructions on the latest features offered by ASUS. (Availability of ASUS AI Advisor may vary by region.)

AI Overclocking

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before.

ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

AI Cooling II

Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click.

A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.

AI Networking II

AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimise network performance, provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity, and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7(Features may vary by model.).

Traffic Monitor

Armoury Crate's Traffic Monitor tracks your current WiFi channel usage. Move to a less congested channel by clicking the “Channel Switch” button (The "Channel Switch" function requires pairing with an ASUS router. If not paired with an ASUS router, the channel change process can be performed in the "Router IP" section of the Traffic Monitor.) for improved network performance.
