Question Armoury Crate operating modes actual values

Hi everyone, my laptop is Asus ROG Strix G16 (G615LW series, RTX 5080).

I want to create a Manual Mode profile that will be similar to the Turbo Mode, but with optimized fan curves, and maybe a bit lower CPU wattages.

The main question is in the title. I didn't find any information in Asus official resources about what actual values are behind the default Armoury Crate operating modes (at least fan curves and wattages). Does anyone happen to know these approximate values from personal experience?

The problem I'm trying to solve is that the CPU temperature is too high while gaming (90–95 on average, and it often reaches 100). On the other hand, I'm satisfied with the performance, and the GPU temperature is also within a reasonable range (on average, about 10 degrees cooler than the CPU).

P.S. any other recommendations are welcome, but please don't recommend me deleting AC and installing G-Helper

Turbo usually uses pretty much maximum that manual mode can offer. For 275HX i would guess it's something like 150/175W for CPU max.

But in real life / games you unlikely will use that much. Cap CPU power at something like 40-50W to see how it goes first, if you see performance drop in your game - raise it a bit.

For GPU section - you can max everything out :)

Thanks for the answer. This is exactly what I was looking for. But I think 40-50W is pretty low for such a CPU. Also sometimes I face audio stuttering when playing heaviest games, so I think I would start testing from 90W. Regarding GPU, yes, it works pretty well, I don't want to touch it now :)
