rust-battop VS amdctl

Wait, really?

I guess I can't ask for details, but my biggest fear is that Asus won't reign in the background power draw/RAM use of Windows 11 and Armory Crate. The combo obliterates my G14's battery life without some heavy manual tweaking.

So... did the device feel warm just sitting idle? If you ever get it again, maybe check out a battery monitor: https://github.com/svartalf/rust-battop/pull/16

I dont really belive in the capacities cause those are vary a lot. I "measured" them with battop.

For monitoring power draw on batter I recommend battop, then you can play with different settings like BT off or other cpu governor related stuff.

Visit this battop Github download page and choose a download. Even though you haven't provided any system information, I suggest this download for most possibilities:

Mesure power consumption via battop package.

I had to look this up, link for others curious: https://github.com/svartalf/rust-battop

Try intel-undervolt or amdctl

I still wondering how to control CPU, found many stuff such as amd_pstate, ryzen_smu, RyzenAdj, amdctl. Now I'm trying to figure something out but it has too many options ☺

There is https://github.com/kevinlekiller/amdctl/ . It does require additional kernel params and possibly modules (idk if msr is loaded on the deck - should check) which would be overwritten by system updates. Maybe somebody has used it before?

Another advantage for AMD I guess. RyzenAdj is super configurable (and scriptable for udev events) and has worked great for me for power curve and temp control, and although I haven't tried it, there appears to be a good tool, amdctl for pretty fine grained voltage and clock control now as well.

After that, you can try more advanced tweaks like undervolting and whatnot.
