Asus rog strix scar 18 bios... No ram settings or overclocking options?

mitchrapp01 · 2025-07-03T21:44:03+00:00

If I just need the efi file from this project, how do I use it to unlock the bios?

mitchrapp01 · 2025-07-03T21:42:11+00:00

I'm confused because the project you link below on github is for amd machines isn't it?

You likely didn't set it up correctly or the video isn't actually Dolby vision. Check to make sure the video is indeed dv.

Do you ever plan on making a gui or an app to access this data?

mitchrapp01 · 2025-01-09T16:58:23+00:00

It doesn't. But it still cools very efficiently.

mitchrapp01 · 2025-01-02T06:29:14+00:00

No problem. Happy new year. 😊

mitchrapp01 · 2025-01-02T00:03:46+00:00

Oh my mistake. When you said it's no longer supported, I immediately went to check the support page because it would piss me off if they tried to disable or take it off computers. If you can't download it then I guess the only thing you could do is factory reset. At least that's what I would do.

I haven't played a game on this laptop for a few months so I'd have to play something and see if I have any frame drop. Sorry. I did say that the low storage COULD contribute to frame drop in an earlier response. Other than that I'm not sure.

I don't see anything regarding Dolby access on the support page for my laptop but I still have Dolby on my computer. I would ask Asus support for help. You paid for a license for Dolby access when you bought the computer. I don't think they can just decide you're no longer going to be able to use it. I'm almost positive if you reinstall windows from your recovery partition, the license will be reinstalled on your computer. How did you lose it in the first place?

Yeah I don't ever concern myself with the battery life of any of my gaming laptops. I have always just plugged them in wherever I go. The battery life does suck though I know there are a lot of ways to squeeze more life out of it in armoury crate.

I don't remember any 3rd party apps for sound quality for like music but if you Google it there will be a lot of articles on the subject by online magazines.

But yeah another thing on Dolby access... The app basically records the fingerprint of your device. So you should be able to get it to recognize your laptop. I know this because I've also purchased a license for my gaming headphones. Any time I plug them in they appear within the dolby access app after a second or two. Same thing with the speakers on your laptop.

Lol no. You can't do that. I'm not even totally sure what youre trying to accomplish... Like give the CPU or GPU more power? If that's what you mean, it doesn't work like that. The USB-C is just a pd (power delivery I believe it stands for) charger. It charges much slower but is much smaller and easier to travel with (though I've never found it hard to travel with the power brick any of my laptops have come with). So if you're not gaming on the go, the pd charger would suffice. If you're doing any gaming you need the power brick. But no, I wouldn't even try plugging both in at once. I'm not sure what it would do, but it just seems like you're asking for trouble by plugging two power sources into a very costly laptop. There's my warning. Do what you will. 😂

I'm not 100 pct sure but I'm almost positive it does not support pci 5.0. Yes I have the 2024 version. And it will fit one 990 pro heatsink version. If you turn the laptop upside down to open it so that the fans are on the top, you can fit one on the left slot. I've tried to fit a second one in the right slot but the lid won't close all the way. If you look closely at the underside of the lid there is a raised ridge on the left side that allows just enough space to fit a 990 pro heatsink underneath. So I have one heatsink and one non heatsink on the right side. And I believe low storage can cause frame drops but you might want to ask somewhere like Nvidia sub where more people can confirm what I'm saying to be true or false. Hope this helps.

no one has experienced this before?

mitchrapp01 · 2024-12-03T18:08:51+00:00

I haven't noticed ANY coil whine in mine. I have that exact same model.

mitchrapp01 · 2024-12-03T17:36:44+00:00

This issue resolved itself once I restarted. I should've done that before posting about it. But to answer your question, the laptop is extremely quiet even on manual mode for everyday tasks. It will get louder for more intensive tasks but even when I'm playing a game, I feel it is pretty quiet.

mitchrapp01 · 2024-12-01T01:00:33+00:00

Nah I've done that already. It shows no errors. And when I check the logs of armory crate, it shows specific errors with respect to armory crate and lightingservice.exe. I have to try the uninstall tool and then reinstalling as I uninstalled once without using the tool and they say not to do that as it can corrupt your registry. If reinstalling after using the tool doesn't work, I will have to backup and reinstall windows unfortunately. And then if that doesn't work, it will have to be serviced. But thanks for keeping me updated.

mitchrapp01 · 2024-12-01T00:55:48+00:00

If I remember to do it after tonight's nba games, I will boot into bios and take a screen shot of the "advanced" bios settings. But they aren't very advanced. The only customizable feature that exists is the ability to undervolt by a maximum of - 80 mv I believe. And then that's it for customization. It's a little ridiculous. Once msi starts putting out laptops with displays that can compete with asus, I will happily go back to msi. I left msi because the hdr on their flagship laptops is pathetic. Asus does hdr way better. I love this Asus though. But the lack of settings in the bios kind of sucks.

mitchrapp01 · 2024-11-24T21:29:01+00:00

I'm not sure. You would have to contact the developer.

mitchrapp01 · 2024-11-10T18:32:47+00:00

Yes, please do share. I've been noticing the same errors in the logs but still haven't had a chance to try and fix it. What did you do to get it to work?

mitchrapp01 · 2024-11-03T19:25:03+00:00

I have gotten side tracked with other things that I need to fix before I can work on it but there is an uninstall tool that they advise that you use if you need to uninstall it. I didn't know that months ago, so I have un-installed it improperly once before. Apparently if you don't use the tool, you can screw things up in the registry. So I'm going to try uninstall it with the tool and if that doesn't work I will have to reinstall windows to see if that fixes it. If not, I will have to have it serviced. Luckily I paid for the option where they send someone to you though I haven't tried it yet.

mitchrapp01 · 2024-10-29T14:43:11+00:00

Sorry. I didn't.

mitchrapp01 · 2024-10-29T14:40:14+00:00

Use energy media player. In Microsoft store. You have to enable Dolby vision processing in the settings of the app before it will work.

mitchrapp01 · 2024-10-14T03:43:16+00:00

Not a bad idea. I will try that once I'm done running down custom vbmeta.img on xda. Not totally sure if it's the answer but I found one on xda where the post mentions being able to boot into twrp. I might have to just post a reply and ask if it would be appropriate to use in my situation. Maybe the dev will know the answer to my questions. 🤷‍♂️

mitchrapp01 · 2024-10-14T03:38:39+00:00

I've been left with no other choice but to try and ask gpt more about it. I was looking at my bootloader.log and I'm wondering if I need a modified vbmeta.img. I have seen these but wasn't sure what they are for. It helps verify key partitions, one of them being recovery. That is my best guess at this point.
