Figure 8 - Power Modes
• Power Saving mode focuses on saving battery life (the
CPU Turbo Boost and dGPU Turbo will be off).
• Quiet mode focuses on reducing fan noise and will
decrease both CPU and GPU power.
• Entertainment mode balances CPU and GPU power and
is ideal for watching videos etc.
• Performance mode is ideal for gaming with higher CPU
and GPU performance.
Fan
You can set the fan speed to Maximum (full power), Au-
tomatic or Custom from this menu item. The fan speed
will adjust itself automatically to control the heat of the
CPU/GPU. You can use the Offset slider to adjust the set-
tings to your preference. However you can adjust the set-
ting to Maximum if you prefer.
The Custom setting allows you to click and drag on any
of the 2 midrange nodes on the graph in order to adjust the
temperature parameters of the CPU Fan or GPU Fan.
Max-Q
If your NVIDIA video adapter supports Max-Q (check
with your distributor/supplier) technology you can set the
fan to Max-Q. When the Max-Q setting is enabled, and
the system is operating within suitable power/perfor-
mance parameters, the GPU will consume less power,
produce less heat, and therefore the fans will not need to
spin so much, resulting in a quieter system.
All these settings can be overidden by the system, as a
safety precaution, if it requires heavier use of the fan.
