Newbie Here - About Power Modes

[OpticFXT]

Moved to Manjaro my main desktop 3 days ago i am learning it…

At windows it has power plans like power save - full performance - even has ryzen power plan

Using ryzen and it has to be run full clock speed alltime for me? i check from corectrl app it runs half speed.

Where is power plans at manjaro ?

it never runs at 3.50 ghz ? i change cpu gov from corectrl app.

i want like this…

by the way my systeminfo

How to provide good information

Welcome to Manjaro! To allow all of us helpful gurus on this forum TO HELP YOU, we need some basic information about your system. This probably means you described the symptoms of your problem, but now we need some more information to know where the origin of your issue is exactly. Someone probably linked you to this tutorial, so if you’re reading this in response to a question, please click the green link above this text to bring you to the full and unabridged text of the tutorial…

Looked at power managment section before i want to make or change power modes simply,

-power saver mode
-performance mode
-etc etc

at windows we can do it via power settings… i asked if manjaro has it ?

i can change cpu gov from corectrl app but it didnt max my cpu frequency

my system specs is:
ryzen 3 1200@3.5ghz
rx 560 4 gb gpu
8 gb ddr4
Manjaro latest, KDE

I want like this

You might be looking for a program called tlpui.It is available in the community repository.

Where is power plans at manjaro ?

Install power-profiles-daemon, it’s an optional dependency of gnome-control-center (GNOME Settings). Then enable and start the service:

systemctl enable --now power-profiles-daemon

The options will depend on your hardware. For me it only displays Balanced Power and Power Saver.

@OpticFXT

current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware

Run cpupower frequency-info with sudo, it will give you complete information including boost states.

When pasting terminal output, highlight it and use the Preformatted text </> button, not the Quote " button.

Alternatively, add three backticks ` above and below the text:

```

Please edit your post accordingly.

Hey thanks for the reply.

I am using KDE is that matters ?

By the way for now i use corectrl app to change cpu gov, it default runs at ondemand. When i changed it to performance it “nearly” comes to max which is 3.50 ghz. It runs around 3.30-40… I asked it for constant 3.50 ghz run… which is adviced by ryzen, at least at Windows.

the output from terminal you asked:

I installed this service and so what now ? (from pacman gui and it didnt warn me for dependency)

I looked it before it presents advanced power settings and tweaks. I just want “simple” to change power modes and simple 3 profile, performance-balanced-power saving… Why it is so diffucult ? Thanks by the way

@OpticFXT

The screenshot you posted is GNOME Settings, so the instructions I provided are to accomplish what is in the screenshot on GNOME. I’m not sure about KDE.

[OpticFXT]

Lol yea it was for example. I already said using KDE and after screenshot i said “i want like this”.

I loved manjaro since 3 days using it as my main drive coming from Windows.

BUT

Why so diffucult the change basic system setting like power modes(or power profiles)

-power saving mode - on/off

-balanced mode - on/off

-performance mode - on/off

like this.
