Asus Aura 1.06.95 - CPU Usage

I realized when I was using any of the lighting change modes like "wave" etc, the LightingService process was using a lot of CPU - at least 10% CPU usage at all times. Switching it back to static colors with no effects was the only way I could get it back down. Obviously that CPU usage is way too high for controlling some RGB LEDS.

What version Aura, and BIOS are you currently using?

Try updating both of them.

I just updated aura and the BIOS before testing this a few days ago so it should be all the latest versions.

Aura 1.06.95
Latest bios, I don't recall the version but it was the latest available as of about Oct 5 2018


CPU Usage stabilizes around 10-12% from LightingService. However on the first 3 lighting effects this isn't happening -- static, breathing, and color cycle result in almost no CPU usage (0.1% or less)

I've noticed the same problem. It's ruining my games' performance. This is a serious issue that they need to fix ASAP.

Hi,

Use the last 1.07.17 by following the process of updating scrupulously, I tested it and I approved it : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?101543-SOFTWARE-AURA-Sync

Before this version 1.07.17, I was resigned to version 1.06.17 because versions 1.06.29 and 1.06.95 were catastrophic for me

I just tried that 1.07.17 and CPU usage is just as bad as 1.06.95, about 6-7% when using smart -> temperature lighting. CPU usage is first about 5% and then starting to go up.

Whats your setting for smart->temperature? Static? In new version the color is changing every second if not changed to static...
