99% of Asus software will be like a cancer to your system in time. It does not jive with Windows Updates, and loses functionality over time. Sad as this reality is, any functionality you can get without it is what you ought to be able to live with, or else go with another maker.
In my case I bought a Ryujin 360 a year and a half or so ago. Then I installed the software. It worked well for a few months then lost functionality along with most other Asus software I had installed.
Since that time I have removed virtually all of Asus software and then reinstalled Windows (which is what you simply have to do). Armoury Crate, Live Dash and all the rest of it--AI Suite II, III, IV--it has always stopped working properly in time and has even messed up my Asus systems and Windows to the point that reinstalls, clean installs, rollbacks, Windows recoveries have been the rule when I had this stuff installed.
Last month I bought another Ryujin 360 because the hardware is first rate. The little fan that cools around the CPU socket is a rare innovation and along with the Noctua fans, this thing does the job perfectly. And no, I did not install any Asus software/bloatware, and have been monitoring my system temps with HWMonitor (all you need) and they are all first rate.
In a nutshell, if you install any Asus software, expect that it will lose functionality over time. Be sad. Cry. Etc. Also, it will become a cancer to your system. Hence, if you can settle for controlling your case fans, etc. in the BIOS, then do yourself a favor and simply settle for that. It is the best you are ever going to do.
