Guide to optimization of power mode management for Win8.1 use techniques

What are the advantages of power optimization management?

The optimization of power management can maintain the stable operation of the computer, reduce the power consumption of all parts of the equipment, save the power cost, prolong the service life of the equipment battery and the components, and make the equipment maintain stable, low energy consumption and high performance in the long run. Because of the previous Windows system, the provision of desktop power control less, so users can only very limited management of computer power, now Windows8.1 system for notebook design, specifically optimized for the battery, power control functions, so that users in a more diverse, meticulous, comprehensive way, Manage the computer power supply, reduce the energy consumption of all parts of the equipment from the bottom, prolong the hardware life.

Win8.1 has four power management modes

by Win8.1 the "Control Panel" into "Power options," We see the four-class power mode.

1. Balance

In the balance mode, the CPU according to the current requirements of the program, dynamic regulation of the main frequency, so that the relative idle operation state of the CPU power consumption down, for notebooks is very important. In this mode, when the computer is active, to provide all the performance of the hardware, rather than the active state, automatically into the power-saving state, is a dynamic adjustment according to the current situation of equipment power consumption, heat dissipation, electricity consumption mode, suitable for most people. (Tips: The use of each component please refer to the specific professional documents)

2. Energy saving

This mode will limit the CPU to work at the lowest frequency, and other devices to maintain the minimum power consumption, although there is a minimum amount of heat and electricity consumption, but the cost is not small-all parts of the computer can only run in the lowest performance state.

3. High Performance

As the name suggests, this mode of the computer components, are running at the highest performance, a device power consumption, the highest heat dissipation, but also at the same time the performance of the strongest power mode.

Three power modes for balance, energy saving and high performance

4. Custom

Under this mode, let the user flexibly configure the first three modes according to their own needs, and select, add, set up the system to provide a variety of hardware details control functions, to create a very personalized power management model.

Custom mode

Use Win8.1 new function reasonable management power supply!

Jianfengchazhen Energy-saving power save! Usually when we leave the computer table, but the program is still running, equipment and electricity has been consumed, can not take advantage of this time, through a power management function, so that the computer idle to a certain time, can automatically turn off the monitor, long-term down, not greatly save the electricity, Reduce the power consumption of the equipment and prolong the life of all parts of the computer?

Balance Mode settings

We go through the Win8.1 Control Panel, enter power options, select Change Schedule settings, and turn on the detailed setup interface for the balanced power mode.

In this interface, if it is a notebook, it is necessary in the battery and power, respectively, set the time to automatically reduce the brightness of the display, the time to turn off the monitor, the computer into sleep time, and the desktop only need to adjust the monitor shutdown and enter the sleep time limit set.

We tried to set up a power management model--for example, to set Windows to automatically turn off the display when the computer was idle for 10 minutes, and to allow the computer to sleep when idle time reached 30 minutes. With such a power management program, so that the computer effectively get a rest, long-term down, can greatly reduce the equipment power consumption, electricity consumption. Other power mode management settings are also used.

Balance Mode settings

Energy Saving Mode Setup

Energy-saving mode, as long as the computer idle for 5 minutes, Windows automatically turn off the display, idle to 15 minutes, the entire system into sleep low-power state.

Energy Saving Mode Setup

High-performance mode settings

High-performance mode, the computer is idle for 15 minutes to turn off the monitor, never into sleep, at this time power consumption is very large, but the advantage is that the computer will remain in the most high-performance running state.

High-performance mode settings

Adjust PC hardware through power advanced settings

If you need to carry out a comprehensive, detailed, relevant parts of the power mode management, through the "Change plan Settings" interface above, enter the "Change Advanced Power Settings", through the power management of more advanced options, detailed optimization of the various parts of the working methods, effective to reduce the role of computer energy consumption.

For example, you can set the return desktop after you wake up the computer in a balanced power mode. For example, you can choose to wake up the computer, the system automatically switch to the locked landing interface, requiring users to authenticate through the password to return to the desktop security mode.

All-round management of power supply

People who are often out of the house, accustomed to use notebook Internet, if the wireless network card has been maintained high power, but also very electricity consumption, may also shorten the life of the notebook battery, so the following function is very important-Wireless adapter settings, out of the user if only with a notebook to send e-mail, look at the news, Can adjust the wireless adapter to the "Medium", "low energy" level, so as to reduce power consumption, improve the life of the notebook, prolong the function of the battery.

Wireless network card energy level setting

The power button (fuselage physical button) plays a key role in switching power supply, using the Win8.1 power management function, you can define the function of the power button in detail, such as Select the power button after the effect is what, you can set the button, the computer does not take the operation, sleep, hibernate, shutdown four kinds of efficacy, Reasonable configuration of the use of power.

power button Settings

No matter what kind of mobile device, monitors are the components of the "large power consumption", so the careful adjustment of the display function, is to save power shutdown, expand the "Display" directory, by setting the computer idle after the time to turn off the monitor, as well as enable and turn off the display of adaptive brightness function, can let the computer intelligent power, You can automatically lower the screen brightness or even turn off the monitor when you are idle.

Monitor settings

After experiencing the Win8.1 power management function, does the user have a new understanding of the importance of power management? Yes, a powerful power management function, not only can save electricity, prolong battery life, but also through the reasonable deployment of equipment components of the work energy consumption, effectively promote the computer, tablet, mobile phones and other equipment to maintain long-term stability , low consumption, efficient working condition.
