### :gear: Automation
|
|
- Performance Mode switching when on battery or plugged in
|
|
- Optimized GPU mode - disables dGPU on battery and enables when plugged in
|
|
- Auto Screen refresh rate (60Hz on battery and max Hz when plugged)

|
|
|
|
All Modes are **baked in BIOS** along with default fan curves and power limits and they are the **same** as in the Armoury Crate.
|
|
|
|
Each BIOS mode is paired with matching Windows Power Mode. You can adjust this setting under ``Fans + Power``
|
|
|
|
1. **Silent** in BIOS + **Best power efficiency** power mode
|
|
2. **Balanced** (Performance in AC) in BIOS + **Balanced** power mode
|
|
3. **Turbo** in BIOS + **Best performance** power mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
