You can change the performance mode on your Asus TUF laptop by using either a hotkey combination or through the MyASUS software.
Here's a breakdown of both methods:
Method 1: Using the Fn + F Hotkey Combination
- The easiest way to switch modes is by pressing the Fn + F keys simultaneously. Repeatedly pressing this combination will cycle through the available performance modes. Note: The exact F key (F1-F12) may vary depending on your specific Asus TUF model. Look for an icon on the F key resembling a performance indicator (e.g., fan).
Method 2: Using the MyASUS Software
If the hotkey combination isn't working or you prefer a visual interface, use the MyASUS software:
-
Open the MyASUS application. If you don't have it installed, you can download it from the Microsoft Store.
-
Navigate to Hardware Settings. The exact location may vary slightly depending on the version of MyASUS, but look for a section related to hardware configuration.
-
Find ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology. This section allows you to choose between different modes such as:
- Whisper Mode: Optimizes for quiet operation and battery life.
- Balanced Mode: A middle ground between performance and battery life.
- Performance Mode: Prioritizes performance, potentially increasing fan noise and reducing battery life.
Available Performance Modes:
Asus laptops often include these performance modes:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Whisper | Prioritizes quiet fan operation and extends battery life. |
| Balanced | Offers a balance between performance and battery life. |
| Performance | Maximizes performance, which may result in higher fan noise and shorter battery life. |
By understanding these methods, you can easily adjust the performance of your Asus TUF laptop to suit your current needs.
