[G14 2020] Having issues with the power managment of the g-helper, it wont set to power saver

[killermonkTR]

G-helper by default sets the "Windows power mode" to balanced even tho i put it to best power efficiency, i need it to set the power mode to power saver not constantly switching to balanced every second. My CPU is pulling 20-30w in balanced while on battery and less than 7w on power saver.

@killermonkTR hello,

G-Helper is not "constantly switching to balanced every second". That's not true.

By default Silent mode is paired with Best Power Efficiency, Balanced with Balanced and Turbo with Best Performance. However you can customize that to your liking under Fans+Power of course.

Power mode is set only along setting of an actual performance mode in G-Helper (i.e. when you change it or start app for example).

If power mode under windows Settings is changing back to Balanced afterwards - it's not G-Helper setting that. You can verify that by looking into app log under %appdata%\GHelper\log.txt.

It could be due to other app doing that, or if you use a custom power plan (under Control Panel), that simply doesn't allow Power Mode changes at all. So windows would report it being in "Balanced" no matter what.

Thanks.

Fixed the big battery consumption issue of balanced mode by switching 99% max processor state to 100% in windows power plans.

Did you figure out what was overriding power mode in your system ? What power plan do you use ?
