Premade Presets

Premade Presets

Premade presets are four ready-made power profiles - Eco, Balance, Performance and Extreme - tuned for your specific CPU. They're the quickest way to use the app: pick a level and it's applied. No values to set.

If you want to control individual parameters, see Custom Presets. To switch presets automatically on AC/battery, see Automations.

Getting to the tab

Open the Premade Presets tab (press 1, or click it). It's a row of four buttons plus a panel showing the command that gets sent.

Click a button to apply that preset right away (through the daemon). The active preset stays highlighted, and the SMU Command Output panel below shows exactly what was sent to the SMU.

Some parameters aren't supported on every CPU family. If the SMU rejects one, it's flagged in the Status tab and the rest still apply.

The four levels

Preset	What it's for
Eco	Low power, quiet and cool, battery-friendly.
Balance	Moderate power for everyday use.
Performance	Higher power limits for sustained workloads.
Extreme	Maximum power limits, highest performance and heat.

The exact wattages behind each level are chosen for your CPU, so "Performance" on a 15 W ultraportable is not the same numbers as "Performance" on a 54 W gaming chip.

How the values are picked

The app detects your CPU during first-run setup and selects a matching preset table. The choice depends on:

• APU or desktop CPU - APUs set STAPM / fast / slow power limits, skin temperature and VRM currents; desktop CPUs set PPT / EDC / TDC and the temperature limit.
• CPU suffix - U, H, HS, HX, G, GE and AI parts each get their own tuning.
• Family era - pre- and post-Matisse APUs, and pre- and post-Raphael desktop chips, are tuned separately, with dedicated tables for parts like DragonRange and Strix Halo.
• Device variant - Framework Laptop 13 / 16 (Ryzen 7040 / AI 300) get presets built for those machines.

As an example, an HS-class APU (such as a Ryzen 5 7535HS) gets roughly:

Preset	STAPM (sustained)	Fast (burst)
Eco	6 W	8 W
Balance	35 W	45 W
Performance	45 W	55 W
Extreme	55 W	70 W

Your numbers will differ depending on the points above. To see the precise command for your chip, click a preset and read the SMU Command Output panel.

Notes

• The preset you apply is saved as [User] mode in config.ini, so it's restored on the next launch (and on daemon start if Apply preset on daemon start is on). See Configuration.
• Premade presets are read-only. To start from one and tweak it, open Custom Presets and build your own.
• Applying a preset by hand is blocked while Adaptive Mode is running - stop it first.
• If your CPU is detected as Intel or Unknown, no presets are available, since the app drives the AMD SMU only.
