rog-daemon

rog-daemon is Linux daemon and CLI to control ASUS ROG/TUF laptops. It supports following features:

• Profile (throttle thermal policy)
• Custom fan curves
• MUX switch
• Panel Overdrive

Build and install

To build this project, you need to install C++ comiler and Meson build system. The installation process varies through different distros and package managers, here is the example for Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S gcc meson

After installing dependencies, clone the repository and run these commands in the repository folder to build and install the daemon:

meson setup build && cd build
meson compile
sudo meson install

Then to start the daemon and enable autostart, run these commands:

sudo systemctl start rog-daemon
sudo systemctl enable rog-daemon

Using the CLI

rog-profile

Controls profile, which affects fan curves and thermal throttling. Three profiles are available: Balanced, Performance and Quiet.

# Get current profile
rog-profile --get

# Set current profile to balanced
rog-profile --set=balanced

# Switch to next profile
rog-profile --next

rog-fan-curve

Allows to override default fan curves for each fan (cpu, gpu, mid) for current profile.

# Get current fan curve for CPU fan
rog-fan-curve --fan=cpu --get

# Set custom fan curve for CPU fan
rog-fan-curve --fan=cpu --set=0c:0%,65c:0%,67c:30%,70c:40%,75c:50%,80c:60%,85c:80%,90c:90%

# Reset to factory default fan curve for CPU fan:
rog-fan-curve --fan=cpu --reset

rog-mux

Controls MUX switch mode, may be either Optimus (iGPU is used for rendering, dGPU is available through PRIME render offload) or Ultimate (dGPU is used for rendering).

# Get current MUX switch mode
rog-mux --get

# Set MUX switch mode to Optimus
rog-mux --set=optimus

# Set MUX switch mode to Ultimate
rog-mux --set=ultimate
