ASUS ROG Ally: 30W Turbo Mode Test
The ASUS ROG Ally requires a charger supporting 65W+ Power Delivery to unlock its maximum 30W Turbo Mode while plugged into a dock or wall outlet.
- Result on UGREEN 100W (USB-C1): Unlocks full 30W Turbo Mode instantly without power warning popups.
- Performance: System runs at full 30W APU wattage while simultaneously fast-charging the battery.
Valve Steam Deck (LCD & OLED)
The Steam Deck requests up to 45W PD charging.
– Result on UGREEN 100W: Charges Steam Deck at maximum native speed (0% to 80% in 48 minutes during active gameplay).
Multi-Device Gaming Setup (Docked Mode)
Using USB-C1 for your Steam Deck or ROG Ally dock still leaves 3 open ports:
– USB-C1 (45W-65W): Steam Deck / ROG Ally
– USB-C2 (30W): Portable Gaming Monitor
– USB-C3 / USB-A: Wireless Controller / Smartphone / Headset
This eliminates the need for separate power bricks for your portable gaming dock setup.
