Hey guys,
Bit of a niche request but here goes...
I'm currently travelling full time out of my van. We've got a good 200ah battery setup in there for gaming on my laptop (Gigabyte Aero 14), but I've noticed that when it's not plugged in the laptop seems to function at a lot lower power consumption than it does when it's plugged in.
The heat coming out of the CPU and GPU vents are much lower when it's unplugged compared to when it's plugged in, and the framerate of games drops to around the 30-40 mark (which is fine for my purposes).
What I'd love to be able to do is somehow force my laptop into thinking that it was unplugged (so that it uses less power), but at the same time have it plugged in and charging. This way it'd use less power and I could play for longer without stressing about melting my poor car batteries.
Any advice/recommendations greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Scott
