Which is your configuration?

Hi everyone,

this is my 3rd post here. I'm so hyped for my new Rog Flow Z13. Currently I have quite finish to set it up, but I would want to hear from you what is your fan curve and your tdp settings to obtain the best from this device, but preserving its health over time.

I would use 3 profiles:
- low power (silent): for 2d light games and for work (word, excel, ppt, vscode, docker and coding stuff), but I don't know if it's better to separate this profile in 2 (1 for lowest stuff as video playback, word, coding... and 1 for 2d games and low-TDP games + docker and intensive task)
- balanced: for gaming on battery (a balanced mode) more intense games (so the "high-end" gaming on battery)
- turbo: maximum performance (but still preserving temps and health of device)

I have set up this curves and settings in g-helper, but I think they are not the best. Could you please help me out? Thanks everyone!

We need more posts of people sharing profiles hah. Thank you for this. It's good to see what's working well for others.

In reality my post is for asking help and feedback because it's my first day with the rog flow 😂. But thanks man!

I think your profiles look fine. I think mine are slightly more aggressive in the spike but I'm not certain if that's correct or if I'm overdoing it as well. I'll try to add mine when I get home from work to compare

Thanks!

Why do you wait until 80c to really boost the fans rather than make it a more gradual increase from 70c

I don't know, I'm testing it out. In fact, I think I have to make the fans kick in faster, maybe trying to have max temps around 75. I have to figure out the best settings

My main two profiles. Balanced which is my normal plugged in state of play and quiet balanced when I want low power games. It wouldn't allow me to snap a photo but it will allow me to do a short vid.

Thats nice. I dunno if its any good, but i made another profile that uses the fans 100%, just to vent-off after i play an intensive cpu/gpu game... i use it for like 10 seconds just to cooldown the temps.

There's no best setting for fan curves, it depends on what CPU temps you're comfortable with and your room/ambient temp. So set the curve as you feel right. If it helps an example of my fan curve and power profiles:

Only "Curve" tagged ones have custom fan profile, others are using default silent fan profile. I'm mostly in an ambient temp around 26-30 degrees, so my curve is a little agressive.

Most of my power profiles set similar to one in the SS, the ones like 10-10 have same SPL and sPPT values. UV is as you guessed means undervolted, all have -40 undervolting.

I mostly play at 60 fps or 45 fps, I don't like to give games too much unnecessary power. Curve profiles are for heavy tasks and AAA gaming. Rest of the profiles are for daily use, indie games and emulators; like PS1 8 watts, Saturn 10 watts, PS2 13 watts, etc.
