When using “Better Battery” the CPU package power goes up to 28W+ and the temp goes up to 100C.
@nrp As far as I can tell - I least when plugged in - the “power mode” (best battery vs best performance) makes 0 difference in W, freq or temp.
So I’ve created the following power plans:
- A “Quiet” power plan with Processor power management set to 80%.
- Pretty quiet.
- <70C in Cinebench r23 (HWiNFO logs: https://cloud.jmlx.io/s/39kgqqnj3SW7fFb)
- I can even do some gaming (Cyberpunk 2077)
- A “Silent” power plan with Processor power management set to 50%.
- Very quiet.
- <58C in Cinebench r23 (HWiNFO logs: https://cloud.jmlx.io/s/cpm29FQJA4ppx3y)
- But big FPS drop in-game.
