will be on 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.
Note: You can use the Fn + 3 key combination to quickly
toggle through, and select, the Power Modes.
Fan Speed Control
Figure 8 - Fan Speed Control
You can set the fan speed to Maximum (full power),
Automatic/Slient or Custom. The fan speed will adjust
itself automatically to control the heat of the CPU/GPU.
You can use the Offset slider to adjust the settings to
your preference. However you can adjust the setting 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.
All these settings can be overidden by the
system, as a safety precaution, if it requires
heavier use of the fan.
