  1. Lowering the power consumption when consuming media


    Hey, I use my PC basically for any sort of media consumption. I leave it on just to listen music while I do house errands and such. I have a mid ranged PC. I was wondering if there is a proper way of lowering power consumption while I am not doing anything serious?

  2. Lower core/mem clock => lower power consumption ?

    To a point, yes, thermals at 100% GPU utilization will be lower, thus lower power consumption. However, lowering voltage and a little under clocking will be more effective.

    High Idle power consumption

    Hi,

    A laptop in idle still drains the battery. It can be one of the lists below are the reasons why your discharging faster.

    • The power plan is on High-Performance. It consumes more energy because it maximizes the computer's usage. Toggle it as Balanced by going to Control Panel > System and Security > Power Options.
    • Too many background applications running. We can check this by going to Windows Settings > System > Battery saver > Battery usage by app. You can set adjust the settings of your battery there as well. Also, please follow the tips on the window on how you
      can manage your battery.
    • You use the second graphics card as your display to an external monitor.
    • Using sleep mode instead of hibernate mode. Hibernate mode is advisable to use when stepping away from the device for very long.

    In addition to this, you can run the automatic troubleshooter to
    find and fix problems with your computer's power settings to conserve power and extend battery life
    .

    Feel free to post back if you need further help.
