Symho, I actually recommend uninstalling the Power4Gear package, and use the Windows Power plans.

The High Performance Power plan works good for benchmarking or batch work that you need to complete as quickly as possible - it runs the CPU 100%/100% for best performance but it runs hotter because it never lets the CPU downclock and cool off when not under load.

For most of the time I recommend using the Windows Balanced Power plan with CPU Min/Max set to 0%/100% which gets good interactive performance and lets the CPU downclock and cool down. Draws less power as well, but doesn't shutdown the performance. Power Saving Plan for Battery use if you are trying to get the most battery time.

Power4Gear installs it's own equivalent plans and the tool/app forces moving from one to the other when it thinks they best apply, but for me it forces them too often and at inappropriate times. Some people find the CPU speed is held back too much for their usage.

The Power4Gear GUI lets you set the power gross settings for AC and Battery, but not the usual fine tuning settings of the Windows Power Plans dialogs.

I don't speak Italian - and I don't have it installed so I can't read the settings labels in English, I would hope that what they say is clear 🙂

You will find better performance overall by uninstalling P4G and use the Windows power plans, tuning the settings through the Plan advanced settings.

The worst offense P4G made to me was forcing Power Saving when unplugging, and then not kicking the power back up when I plugged it in. I had already set my Windows Power Plans Advanced tuning for battery/AC usage on all the plans - so when the P4G changed the plans to it's own, and then made arbitrary movement between the plans with no way to set use of the my tuned plans, I just uninstalled it.

Let us know what you end up doing and how you figure out to use it well, for me there wasn't a good way to configure it to my liking. 🙂

Hi hmscott! Thank you for your suggestion! And sorry for my poor english. I need high performance for my work, I'm an architect and I work with many softwares at the same time! Softwares are: 3DS Max, Autocad, Photoshop, Office, ecc. With the Asus's power plan I have good work with my laptop so do you think that's Windows power plan is it better for consumption or for the cpu's life?

P.s. (Off topic) When I login into the forum by IE11 the panel of the editor of text is white. Why???

Symho, you can't do higher performance than 100%/100% 🙂

Windows High Performance with Advanced settings CPU Min/Max is set to 100%/100%.



The P4G just adds in some automatic swapping of plans, and disabling of devices - if set to allow power down for power savings - which can cause Wifi / Ethernet disconnects at odd times as well.

If performance is important to you then I would also suggest using Intel XTU to set the CPU core cache multipliers to highest from default.



Change the settings, Apply, Save and name profile.

Intel Extreme Tuning Utility - XTU - Currently at 5.1.2.2 - I am using 5.1.1.25
https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-boards-softwar...

That 5.1.2.2 release came out today, April 1st... 🙂

Update: To be safe, uninstall the old XTU if you have it installed, before installing the new release.

Have fun!

Symho, as I updated, I had a problem installing over 5.1.1.25 - you might want to make sure you uninstall the old one before installing the new one.

After I uninstalled the 5.1.1.25 release cleanly, I was able to install the new 5.1.2.2 release, and it is working aok so far. 🙂

I don't having problem, the new release work fine for me.

Symho, good to hear, it must have been something else going on, I got install errors. It's working fine now after uninstalling the old version for me.

Additionally, I've just published a Full HD 60fps video on youtube; recorded gameplay, edited with the in-game Rockstar Editor; the video demonstrates the G750 power very well...
