Create a "Power Saving" state, and switch back to normal when neeeded!!

[lillo9546]

Hi there

I use my pc just to display reference for 5/6 hours every day, but when i need to encode or edit videos its just 1 hour of portion!

How i could create less power consuption when just displaying references, putting all the hungry things likely on low frequencies forced, and so consume less wattage??

atm wattage in idle its about 60/70 watts

I have a

R5 3600

RX 570

NVME SSD

B450 TOMAHAWK

Thanks

I used to create custom profile shortcuts to a specific plan.

 

Doubleclicking Powersave and forcing Max 50% CPU speed, and a High performance mode.
On the fly desktop shortcuts for whenever you want.

 

Is this what you were after?

quick question, what psu do you have? if it's a somewhat modern one, you could enable c6/c7 sleep states if not enabled already

oh, then it's no problem there

 

c6/c7 spec (also known as haswell certified) is something introduced years ago with the release of the intel 4000 series cpu's

You can't. What's consuming in idle is the lowest you can get. CPU's, GPU's and stuff already runs as low as possible when not being used.
