PowerPlay is enabled in the Catalyst Control Center which is supposed to reduce GPU drain when on battery.Įverything works except for the following: The fan stays on pretty high and oddly, seemingly higher on battery than when plugged into AC. Theoretically, the Jupiter program is supposed to assist with this, but I only notice that it just locks the CPU down to 800 MHz in "powersave" which is the equivalent to "cpufreq-set -g powersave" I am investigating how to manage this in Ubuntu. I can get the voltage down to about 0.75 and gives me about 15-20% more battery time. I can remedy this bu running RightMark CPUclock in XP. Neo Processor is not undervolted when running at 800 MHz so there is not much difference in power saving running at 1.6 or 800 MHz and battery is gobbled up. Jupiter installed - supposed to enhance cool-n-quiet from AMD The only issue is really high battery drain, even with frequency scaling enabled compared to XP.
