💻 Usage Guide

Once you have AsusTufFanControl_Linux installed, you can use the graphical interface or the command line to manage your system.

🖥️ Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Launch the application from your desktop menu. The UI is divided into several main tabs:

  • 🌀 Fan Control: View real-time RPMs and temperatures. You can toggle between Silent, Balanced, and Turbo modes, or set a custom fan curve based on CPU temperature thresholds.
  • 🔋 Battery Health: Set a maximum charge limit to prolong the lifespan of your battery. Choose between 60% (Maximum Lifespan), 80% (Balanced), or 100% (Full Capacity).
  • 💡 Aura Sync RGB: Customize your keyboard lighting. Select different effects (Static, Breathing, Strobing, Color Cycle) and adjust the brightness and colors.
  • 📊 Dashboard: Get a quick overview of your system's current CPU/GPU temperatures, memory usage, and performance stats.

⌨️ Command Line Interface (CLI)

If you prefer using the terminal or want to script your settings, you can pass arguments directly to the application.

Performance Modes

You can switch your laptop's performance mode instantly:

# Set mode to Silent
sudo /opt/asus-tuf-fan-control/AsusTufFanControl_Linux --mode silent

# Set mode to Balanced
sudo /opt/asus-tuf-fan-control/AsusTufFanControl_Linux --mode balanced

# Set mode to Turbo
sudo /opt/asus-tuf-fan-control/AsusTufFanControl_Linux --mode turbo

Battery Charge Limit

Apply a battery charge limit via the terminal:

# Limit charge to 80%
sudo /opt/asus-tuf-fan-control/AsusTufFanControl_Linux --battery-limit 80
