process asus_framework.exe use a lot of RAM

  • I noticed a process in the PC with Z790-F Gaming WIFI motherboard and intel 13900, called asus_framework.exe, and looking in resource monitor there are several, and 4 of these occupy 1.1 gb of RAM each, slowing down the PC. It seems to be something related to Armory Crate, and it starts with the PC startup, even without starting armory crate, which on other similar computers does not happen, so it must be a bug or a problem to be solved. Ps: I have no updates of any kind, not even windows, pending. I saw on the internet that it is a widespread problem, but I have not found a solution, and I am afraid that uninstalling Armory crate could make the system unstable. Can anyone help me solve it? Thanks                                                                                                         TRANSLATION IN ITALIAN                          ho notato un processo nel pc con scheda madre Z790-F Gaming WIFI e intel 13900, chiamato asus_framework.exe, e guardando in monitoraggio risorse ce ne sono vari, e 4 di questi occupano 1,1 gb di RAM l'uno, rallentando il pc. Sembra essere qualcosa relativo ad Armory Crate, e si avvia con l'avvio del pc, anche senza avviare armory crate, cosa che su altri computer simili non succede, quindi dev'essere un bug o un problema da risolvere. Ps: non ho aggiornamenti di nessun tipo, nemmeno di windows, in sospeso. Ho visto su internet che è un problema diffuso, ma non ho trovato soluzione, e ho paura che disinstallare Armory crate possa rendere instabile il sistema. Qualcuno può aiutarmi a risolvere? Grazie

Yes, I'm removed it before and nothing bad happened. You can set the fans manually in the BIOS easily if that's your concern - at least fans that are connected to the motherboard headers. Otherwise, alternative free fan control software is available. So just try a reinstall and see if that fixes your memory problem.  

The main reason I still use it is because I have a few LED strips connected to the ARGB headers and I can set those to respond when I play music.  For drivers, I do that manually from MoKiChU's threads.

That doesn't sound right. I use Armoury Crate and have never seen memory usage like that. There is a tool to remove Armoury Crate on the support pages. I think it would be a good idea to remove it, see if you miss anything and then if you still want it, do a fresh install.  

Removing it should not cause any instability, but if you need things like fan control, you can do that in the BIOS anyway.

you're right, my fear is that then I don't know how to set for example the fan control inside BIOS, and that for example the fans stop altogether... does anyone have experience with the removal of armory crate? and in the bios setting post uninstallation?
