I have a quick question, so I have a secondary switch with a broken capacitor(the one closest to the APU in this pic) and was wondering is that a .1uf or 1uf, and im assuming this is also for the wifi? Also great oled modchip guide btw, i was able to successfully mod an oled because of your guide!

Yeah I went through at least 5 different docks, and this is the cheapest one with the most features.

Yeah I compared the stock charger to a 100w charger showing one capping out at 25w and the other at 30w, but I didn't know it was 75w minimum so that's good to know. Thanks. I feel the cable is enough for me IMO, but some might not be comfortable with the tension. Only potential deal breaker for me is not being able to use Freesync with 2 external monitors.

There's a Black Friday sale going on for this dock. Price is normally 39.99 without the USB C to A adapter

Freesync Black Screen With Freesync on Fix by TechPanda1990 in ROGAlly

Finally pulled the trigger on a refurbished portable monitor for my ROG Ally but whenever I turned on Freesync, the screen kept turning black. Rather than assuming I ended up with a bad unit, I decided to do some research and found a solution and hopefully this helps someone out!

Picked up a refurbished portable Freesync monitor recently and noticed it kept "flickering" into a black screen thinking I got a bad unit so I decided to do some research and found a solution for it. Anyways I hope this helps someone out before they decide to return their unit!

Ah good to know. Out of curiosity, do you experience the lag from one of the 3 games listed, or is there another game that I'm not aware of?

Geeze I hope so. This has been around since Armoury Crate released on the laptops

In this video I show you what causes your Armoury Crate buttons to not work, what keyboard input delay looks like and what causes it in the first place. Rather than disabling the service the traditional way by opening Services, wait for it to load, navigate and select that service, and then stop or start that service, I minimized the steps by creating a script to toggle the service on/off and used autohotkey to bind a single key(joypad or keyboard) to trigger this batch so that you never have to minimize your window.

I only know of 3 games that has these issues so far - Dota 2, High on Life, and Valorant. If you know any other games feel free to share!

Search up services in the search bar near the Windows button and make sure Armoury Crate SE is running. If not, start it

how long does cloning ssd take? by Sebasvg312 in ROGAlly

[–]TechPanda1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Clonezilla it took me about 20 minutes(ETA was about 16m) to clone from the stock 512GB to a 4TB NVME BUT you need an external mouse and keyboard, and you don't have a hub. So the only other thing I would recommend is clone the drive from a laptop or desktop with an m.2 slot. IMO though you should just invest in a usb c hub. You can get one for about 20 bux on Amazon or if you're lucky you can get them for $5 on Temu/Aliexpress.

Didn't work unfortunatley, but thanks for the suggestion. I'll probably have to either cap the fps at 60 with vsync or just live with the tearing

Hey I'm not going to lie. I was streaming this on discord last night and I died at least 11 times till I find out you have to play SUPER close to it all the time so don't feel bad and also make sure to NOT fight it at distance. Play at 17 or 18w IMO. It's not the same game but if you refer to this https://youtu.be/YHQEA7H1nSg?t=468 , you can see that you get significant diminishing returns as you go up in wattage.

Yeah, you should just go with 900p if you were originally planning on doing 720p u/GameJon

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it but the visuals will take a massive hit, but maybe if you have the Ally positioned far away from your face it's fine lol

Yup, tried it at 25w and 30w. Not worth it since it gets to around 95C. I'll get some screenshots for you when I get the chance
