- Optimized GPU mode - disables dGPU on battery and enables when plugged

To keep auto switching and hotkeys working the app needs to stay in running in the tray. It doesn't consume any resources.

### Should I apply custom PPTs and fan profiles?
You don't have to, it's purely optional. From my experience built in (in bios) performance modes work well. Limit your power or apply custom fan curves only if you have issues. As sooon as you click Apply in fan + power section bios will be considering fan profile as "custom"! (no matter if you modified it or not)

### How does G-helper control my fan speeds?
It doesn't. Your bios does (same as in case with armoury). What G-helper can do - is (optionally) set a custom fan profile to current performance mode consisting of 8 pairs of temperature + fan speed % via same endpoint armoury seem to use.

### Can I use MyASUS app along with G-Helper?
Sure, you can! The only problem is that MyASUS may override battery charge limit that you set before. My advice in such case would be to set same limit (i.e. 80%) in both MyASUS and G-Helper.

### How do I uninstall G-helper?
G-helper is a single exe, and it doesn't install anything in the system. To remove it - you can simply delete exe :) If you have applied any custom fan profiles or PPTs - before removing I would recommend selecting your favorite performance mode (for example balanced) and clicking "Factory defaults" under Fans + Power.

- It's not recommended to use an app in combination with Armoury Crate services, cause they adjust the same settings. You can [uninstall it using it's own uninstall tool](https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/14Utilities/Armoury_Crate_Uninstall_Tool.zip?model=armoury%20crate). Just in case, you can always install it back later.
