Power Plan / power management interference from other programs

[sp0rk40]

I love ghelper but it is limited a bit for my needs. I found a great power plan settings/ performance manager called quick cpu. It has very granular control over core parking/power plan settings etc. I'm trying to find out if editing the basic power plans will interfere with ghelpers operations. Does ghelper just enable the default power profiles or does it apply its own settings everytime. Thx.

G-Helper is not modifying power plan anyhow.

It just relies on a default windows Balanced plan. If you will edit it somehow manually - your settings will stay.

Just to be clear, if i edit the power saver/balanced/ high performance windows powerplans ghelper will just use those. is there any way to get ghelper to load other power plans if i make new ones? cmd line arguments or in ghelper settings file?

Please read Power User settings on how to assign custom power plans if you want to.

@sp0rk40 Did you find a solution to make things work with QuickCPU? I use it myself but I often see power plans other than Balanced go poof when using QuickCPU in conjunction with G-Helper or Armoury Crate in my Ally. While it's possibly an issue with QuickCPU, I have set inside QuickCPU to have various core parking and CPU boost strategies fixed for all Windows Power plans (x2 over AC/DC profiles) including in Balanced, but setting any strategy for CPU Boost through G-helper resets those plans and also prevents G-helper from using any CPU boost. When reopening the Ghelper panel where the CPU Boost dropdown exists it shows as Disabled. FYI I am not using the separate dedicated quickcpu power plan that is an option to get created since it doesn't show up on G-helper, and parking settings won't align then with the plan G-helper would be using.
