GiMeSpace Power Control : Automatically switch between power schemes whenever your CPU reaches a certain load percentage by using this specialized program
If you own a laptop, want to save some energy or aim to keep your computer as cool as possible, a wise thing to do would be to make use of Windows' native power management schemes according to your current activities.However, sometimes switching between these profiles can be a pain, especially if you're in the middle of something and suddenly realize that your PC is on that energy saving scheme and your CPU isn't on full capacity. Here's where GiMeSpace Power Control comes into action.
Switch between energy profiles
As hinted above, this application can help you switch between power schemes automatically by detecting the load on your CPU and activating the energy saver whenever the CPU load is beneath a user-specified threshold or loading a high-power profile if the load is above the value you set.Once you launch it, you'll notice that the main window consists of a couple of combo menus, a bunch of slider bars and a few buttons that you can easily operate, as they're highly intuitive.
Easy to configure
The first thing you need to after launching the application is select a low-power scheme and a high-power one from the combo menus. After doing so, you can set the CPU threshold values for the low and high power schemes, adjust the minimum amount of time to spend in a power scheme before the app can switch it to another one and select the time between CPU load checks.You can view the current CPU load in the main window, next to the "Pause" button, which can be used to halt the CPU load checking process.
Handy automatic power scheme switcher
To wrap things up, if you're looking for a tool that can automatically switch power profiles based on your CPU load percentage, you might've found what you need, as GiMeSpace Power Control does exactly that, and in an uncomplicated manner, too.
