For Motherboard like Rog Strix X870E-E Gaming, do you think Armoury Crate Version 3.3.5.2 (published by Asus on late August 2025) is now reliable and will not create instability issues?

Before several months I had frustration instability issues and most of them resolved by uninstalling Armoury Crate.

Please your opinion here is appreciated.

Haven't had that junk installed for years. Even if they fixed all the

I experienced

Have had 0 issues without that junk installed and have 0 reasons to install it. I'd suggest if you are not having issues without it installed just leave it alone

do not install asus armoury crate unless it has a feature that you 10000% need and cannot live without

it can mess up and bork many other things if you install or uninstall it

just my experience

I have Asus motherboard, only because I got it really cheap, and I dont use their bloatware.
Its unnecessary, all you need is bios updates which you can download from their website.

but unfortunately I have it on my Asus gaming laptop because it sort of requires Armoury crate for it to function normally

So when Asus will respond to this issue. It seems 99% of Asus users are suffering from Armoury Crate instability

Not just that,

Backup/restore function = ??????? For example Save fan profiles, Use backup. Neither allow a local save nor backup so must go to their cloud servers. Wipe and reinstall OS followed by SuckyCrate
Restore and no fan profiles. Try loading fan profiles and there will be 0 options because saving and backup does jack

Check for driver updates, frequently showed 3 versions that were older than currently available on the website making that part pointless

back to fans. Change a fan because 1 fails = You need to redo your entire fan curves for every single fan because 1 failed.

I had fan curves set in Bios before I even bothered trying to use Armoury Crate to control them but when in Bios SuckyCrate kept overriding Bios fan curves which forced my hand

As for any orther issues/dislikes Those alone are why it got unistalled and I've never intend to go back.

Fans now controlled by a third party application that doesn't wipe all settings if I change 1 fan and I get to back it up locally. Plus its fan superior to Asus implementation

No one should really need that bloatware. First before you do uninstall it, go into the BIOS and disable the options that allow for such downloads of the ASUS software support. Otherwise if not, it will get reinstalled again via Windows Updates services

I've had to use it for years for my mouse (and some mobos) but only open and run it to set stuff up or change it, rest of the time it's not active and doesn't cause any issues.

Over the last year I'd say it's been more reliable than in the past.
