HelloAll, It appears me and some others are having issues with docks / hubs not allowing 30W turbo mode. I have personally tried 4 different chargers, all that support Power delivery of 100W+ and 4 different Docks and hubs all allowing 100W PD. No matter what combination I use, I cannot get any of them to allow 30W turbo mode. I confirmed their 100W capability with with ROG Zephyrus G15 Laptop and an Anker 737 Battery bank. All of them, in every combination, will charge my G15 and Anker 737. The Anker 737 display confirms its charging at a minimum of 90W, this is well above the 65W requirement for 30W Turbo Mode. This seems to be a software/bios issue that hopefully Asus can fix. I have also added a video, of the Armory Crate Notification.

I ran 3 different scenarios in FF7 Remake, each making sure I considered the boost period the APU does when it initially receives sufficient power from the 3rd party dock and 100W USB-C charger. Also I am on BIOS 319 and using a JSAUX dock with an INVZI 100W USB-C GaN-III Charger as well. I have 4 pictures below:




This first picture is the Ally on battery in Turbo mode. You can see the Command Center on the left shows Operating Mode is Turbo 25W and real-time stats on the right shows the APU consuming 25W, both are to be expected and correct.


This 2nd picture is the Ally on the included Asus power supply in Turbo mode. You can see the Command Center on the left shows Operating Mode is Turbo 30W and real-time stats on the right shows the APU consuming 30W, both are to be expected and correct. When I plugged the Asus power supply into the Ally , it also boosted up to 53W for 10 seconds which is also expected and correct.


This 3rd picture is the Ally on a JSAUX dock with an INVZI 100W USB-C GaN-III Charger in Turbo mode. You can see the Command Center on the left shows Operating Mode is Turbo 25W HOWEVER real-time stats on the right shows the APU consuming 30W. The Command Center is incorrectly showing 25W even though the APU is consuming the expected 30W. This is good news because it means that when docked like above I actually am getting the 30W Turbo performance despite the Command Center reporting 25W. The other issue to consider is when you are in the Armoury Crate and setting up Manual performance modes, the Manual performance modes wont be able to go above 25W on these 3rd-party docks and chargers until the bug is fixed. IF you have your Ally docked and go into Armoury Crate to make a Manual Performance mode you wont be able to set the APU limits as high as you could if you were just charging the Ally on the Asus power supply. I'm not a fan of messing with the Manual Mode so I am content to keep using Turbo mode which will allow me to still hit the 30W APU consumption despite Command Center saying its on 25W.


This final picture is the Ally on the JSAUX dock with an INVZI 100W USB-C GaN-III Charger in Turbo mode. You can see the Command Center on the left shows Operating Mode is Turbo 25W and real-time stats on the right shows the APU consuming 53w. This is the boost limit of the APU. I wanted to include this picture so we can see that despite Command Center saying 25W Turbo mode, I am getting the 30W Turbo mode with the expected boost up to 53W the 10second boost time . So this is good news too! Ultimately the real-time stats overlay is the absolute and shows 30W mode is active. The Command Center's operating mode icon is just that, an icon, and it is showing incorrectly.


- Command Center incorrectly reports 25W Turbo mode when on 3rd Party Docks instead of 30W Turbo mode despite APU running in 30W Turbo mode

- When configuring Armoury Crate Manual Performance modes, max APU limits are showing incorrectly as if the Ally were on battery when in reality it is plugged into a 3rd Party Dock with 65W+ charger. This subsequently leads to lower performing Manual Performance mode when plugged in since you cannot set the APU power to the higher 30W+ limits.


I bought a 100w gnan charger from baseus for my working laptop that uses a conventional charger, and also for all my devices so I don't have to carry more than one when I'm away. As I also have a Asus portable screen I decided to buy a extra usb c to usb c 2 m long cable with USB 3.1 connectivity and 100w PD so again I only have to carry one cable not 3 or 4. Using for the first time the baseus charger whit the provided cable I noticed the same pattern, only 25w but using this longer and better cable it detects it as 30w compatible charger...


I think the issue might be that the dock is pulling power for the additional ports. So, my dock, a Falwedi, has 4 USB, 2 HDMI, Ethernet, Audio, and SD card reader. The charger is cable of 100w and will deliver 30W Turbo when plugged in directly to the Ally. I'm guessing that some percentage of that 100W input power is being consumed and therefore I'm not getting 100W on the PD port of the USB-C hub. I need a way to see how much power is being supplied to the Ally, but I'm guessing it might be less than 65W.


I also have the UGREEN Docking station for steam deck and brought a 100W USB-C Power Adapter Fast Charger but when connected together i only get 25w in turbo in command center. But if i connect the 100W USB-C Power Adapter Fast Charger straight into the Ally usb-c port i get the 30w the same as the Ally power supply. I've tried 4 different Docks from Amazon and none show 30w in command center.


Hello, not sure if we are about the same thing. From what I have tested, it seems that the docks and hubs can only reach 25W regardless of what brand assuming it's a PD 3.0.

What I have is the Ally 65W charger that came with the box, a hub that supports PD 3.0, a dock that supports PD 3.0, an Anker 737 120W charger, and an Anker 737 140W power bank.

What's interesting is if I use just the chargers and the power bank connected directly to the Ally, I can get 30W on SPL, 43W on SPPT, and 53W on FPPT. But with the dock or hub, I am limited to 25W to SPL, 30W on SPPT, and 35W on FPPT.

Does anyone have the same thing show up? Whenever I plug a charger on a dock to the Ally, it just says "this power adapter does not support the full performance on this device".



I attached screenshots of what I have plugged and unplugged.

Same here. 100W charger connected to ally works with 30w turbo. Connected to usb c pd3 hub only allows 25w turbo i hope this gets fixes because i like that 3rd party one alot more then the official one with only one usb port. Also its sold oit in europe everywhere


Looking for a replacement to your MacBook Pro AC adapter? You can not only ditch the bulk and weight, but you can get even more ports. The uGreen 100w and 65w options are dramatically smaller and offer even more functionality than the OEM charger. Here's why these two GaN chargers for MacBook are the best you can get.


Apple has made strides in improving the charging bricks for its MacBook Pros, bringing back MagSafe and switching to a USB-C connector. But as battery capacity goes up, the chargers have gotten even more massive.


GaN chargers are a new type of chargers that use gallium nitride (GaN) as a superconductor. The benefit of GaN is that it produces less heat than other conductors used in chargers. This means the components can be more tightly spaced and thus more compact.


In addition, GaN chargers also often offer more ports, a great benefit if you're a photographer on the go connecting multiple devices. I've already mentioned uGreen GaN chargers as a must-have in Essential Gear for Tour Photography. Here's more on why I love these chargers.


Here's a size comparison between the stock Apple 140w charger and the uGreen 100w and 65w GaN chargers. As you can see, the uGreen 100w charger is about 2/3 the size of the Apple charger. The uGreen 65w charger is about 1/3 the size.


What multiple ports means for you is that you can charge multiple devices at once. If you travel with your laptop, this means that a multi-port charger can replace the adapters for your laptop, tablet and phone, all in a single unit.


Arguably, the lower wattage and slower charge is actually better for the battery long term. Personally, the one time a super fast charge is needed is when the batter is already depleted and I'm in a hurry to be mobile without the ability to charge (think needing to charge up before a flight on an airlines without AC outlets).


Here, the benefits of these small GaN chargers are perfect. If you're looking for a GaN charger for your MacBook Pro or MacBook, for me the uGreen 100w and uGreen 62w chargers are perfect. The additional ports, smaller size and much lighter weight far outweigh the one advantage of the OEM charger's higher wattage.
