#1 Post by Shade » Tue Jan 08, 2008 4:11 pm

Anyone using another software to manage power states than the one provided by lenovo?

If so, please state what you are using and link if possible :D

Thanks! :D NHC is exactly what I've been searching for.

Just one problem. I am unable to underclock my CPU with it?..
It just keeps going on 100% no matter what settings I change regarding to the CPU.

Anyone who knows about this problem?..

There's "Dynamic" mode... makes the tray icon into a yellow flag. Try that?

First look.. It dosen't change a thing..
But in the Control panel -> Cpu speed. If I change clock modulation from 100% to 50% I can't see my tray icon went down in Ghz.. But in the on screen monitoring my CPU clcok is still on 100%.
So wich one should I count on? Also when I change clcok modulation to 50% I don't feel any decrease in performance.

Okay.. NHC is starting to mess my computer. tried re-install.
I've tried to change every settings possible but it still automticly sleeps every 10 mins, and when I resume i closes with an windows error report... I don't wan't to mess with this program anymore.

Anyone have some other suggestions to a good power management software? Also don't wanna run RMclock :P


Thank you....

Righclick anywhere on the Desktop, select Properties/Screen Saver.
Click on Power at the bottom and change your sleep/hibernate behavior.

hehe.. dude..

thanks for your advice, but the power management in XP is just not enough for me.

I need a software with several advanced profiles settings, where I can change everyting from screen brightnees to ACPI power states.


Thank you.
