Do you have any idea why this toggle isn't functioning properly?
I am trying to adjust the performance mode from windows to Performance/Turbo without effecting the power plan. There's a toggle for it but deactivating it doesn't do anything. The windows power plan will still dynamically switch, why would there be a toggle for it if it still just auto adjusts the power plans. I wanna see the other modes without having to ramp my CPU up to 100%. Anyone know any other way around tuning your cpu/gpu without having to succumb to boosting the CPU through the roof?
EDIT: I figured it out. You literally untoggle what i circled "power mode sync" AND THEN you go into windows power plan and adjust that particular power plan. It switches it but if you untoggle the sync you can still adjust each plan itself to your liking without asus armory crate overwriting it.
Yes, sometimes I am that stupid. Thanks!
I used to mention that if you don't want your CPU in Turbo Mode or Boost Clocking, then configure the Power Plans to 99% when plugged in. It maintains Base Clock and uses less power. Ideal for laptops that tend to overheat... but I believe you handled it well.
I just wanted full power without needing the force push from Windows 11. It took a minute for it to register. But yes, you can technically set the power plan to match "balanced" in "turbo" mode while keeping all the benefits. It's actually pretty disappointing as it comes by default, though—do you know how confusing that must feel for someone just trying to understand what a GPU does? lol
I've owned a gaming PC for nearly ten years, as well as a home computer from my childhood in the 90s. It's hard to believe I never adjusted the power plan settings because I knew they would cause the CPU to hit 100% usage. I didn't really delve into it—I thought balance was just the base clock, but I wasn't entirely clear on what that meant. Now, with software like Armory Crate, things start to make more sense. I can find optimal settings instead of constantly switching everything to "game" mode, which actually runs at around 33 watts and clocks at about 3.3GHz—completely different from what I expected.
I really recall this clearly from around 2012 to 2013 when I bought my first quad-core AMD CPU, expecting it would improve my FPS. I didn’t realize I was only using just two cores until I discovered ways to unlock more performance. After restarting and playing Wolfenstein: The New Order, I achieved about +60 FPS because I wasn’t a big gaming enthusiast at the time. It was a fun trip down memory lane.
I repeatedly encountered unclear overheating issues with clocks when using "performance" or "turbo" settings, so I manually adjusted them for hours without improvement. Eventually, I discovered that you can't change the power plan on ASUS directly, which led to confusion. After realizing you can adjust Windows 11 power plans manually and set the CPU to 100%, achieving balanced modes at around 60fps on a 60Hz display is much smoother. It's a big difference now. lol
I'm not making any sales here—it just makes perfect sense to me now.
