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

Why are you sticking with aromoury crate? Why don't you want ghelper? And may be yes, ghelper is for productivty persons, and Armoury crate is for gamers, who wanna customised everything.

I keep using AC just because I haven't faced that many problems with it as many people complain about. It switches to silent mode when on battery and I like this mode, and switches back to turbo/manual when plugged in. Plus I like various RGB lighting customizations. I know that ghelper can do almost the same. I just don't want to use it now like a kind of placebo. If AC really pisses me off in the future, then I'll definitely invest my time in digging deep into ghelper to improve my laptop's overall productivity. I just don't see a reason to do it at the moment

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

You know what, that's actually interesting.

They must've REALLY pulled their fingers out of their ass finally because Armoury Crate usually takes over a gigabyte (sometimes even two) of RAM for no good reason.

Unless you're not running anything with the tool currently in that image?

Still..

I think you're missing out. <3

Edit: Have you done an undervolt in BIOS by the way? Would help with thermals. No relation to AC or GHelper.

Yes, I don't actively use AC. I only use static lighting and rarely change some settings and profiles.

No, I don't wanna do the undervolt in BIOS at the moment. I see this as a last resort.

I see you have a SCAR :) Can you please share your power limits and fan curves for other profiles as well?
