The Phawx tested OS Power modes, and you should always have it in efficiency mode. Otherwise it will boost cpu and steal resources from the gpu.

I disagree. With some of the games I play there is a drop in performance if I switch the OS mode to efficiency. If I switch the OS mode to performance I gain a few extra fps. Not in all my games, but in some of my games I do get a boost with the OS mode set to performance. I also have CPU boost turned off completely on my Legion Go.

that legion space is just a big mess... I mean armory crate on the ally had issues at launch. But these kinds of basic things were much more ironed out on the Ally even at launch. Lenovo needs to step up to update legion space. To set one custom Tdp and getting something completely different is just very annoying and basically makes Legion Space worthless...

Did you try this with a different app/game than Heaven? I think heaven behaves a bit different in these things sometimes ;) P.s. the OS power mode helps with the 30W Perf mode on battery. At least a bit. (Still unplayable in most games)

I tried it in a few games, then just came across a weird bug where it didn't want to go over 17 watts when switching to custom. Even trying to adjust watts and changing the profiles didn't fix it, only a reboot seemed to solve it.

That's one really annoying thing with how Asus updated Armoury Crate. They made it so the fan profiles are pretty high anytime you use manual mode. What I do is use a program called G-Helper and run the "Balanced" preset at 17watts. I'm planning on making an update tutorial on the channel about G-Helper and how to use it :)

Np, and it is extremely strange. I just returned the Go. For some reason after switching to Custom mode just playing games it decided it only wanted to do 17 watts and was extremely stuttery. Changing power modes back didn't do anything, nor adjusting the watts. So I could only reboot to fix the issue and then leave the power settings alone. It seems like it's some bug with the software that I didn't encounter, but I ran out of time to test it as I had to return the device since it's just not for me. I'll have a quick video coming out soon on why I returned it.

Is this different than windows efficiency modes etc? I’ve heard efficiency works on Ally as well but every time I switch profile it’s switches back to performance which is annoying
@filt3rless

The Legion Go's "OS Power Mode" just changes the windows power settings. Armoury Crate on the Ally overrides it every time you switch profiles. So as soon as you change it in windows, then toggle back to "Turbo" or "Performance", it put's windows back into Best Performance. I use a program called G-Helper on my Ally that allows me to set the watts/power mode on windows. I have a video about it here kzitem.info/news/bejne/jouGzKejk6p9pqg :)

Thanks! I just looked through the BIOS on the Lenovo and I don't see any way to do a cloud restore. You could clone the drive or use a USB Drive to do a fresh install. If you do a fresh install with a USB drive you might need a HUB that has ethernet to get connected to the internet after the install. On the Ally the wifi driver doesn't auto install. You can also bypass the internet after a fresh install using command prompt, but I don't have a video out on how to do that. Let me know if you need any help. Edit: Also, there are programs that limit watts, but nothing like G-Helper where it's really light weight and polished (that I know of).
