  • Question about Nvidia options
    NVidia driver has a simple panel, but it's very limited in options. You can get more with https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Really bad battery life on a Lenovo Yoga 7i
    On my system Lenovo Legion 5i i7-10750H with a RTX2060 on hybrid mode I got 15Wh. I'm starting to test with auto-cpufreq + LenovoLegionLinux + GreenWithEnvy (I hope it gets a new maintainer) setting the dGPU to 1W (which it never reaches, never less than 6w). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Nvidia on Linux state
    I'm happy with NVIDIA on Linux for the most part. I stick with X11 for the overclocking Green with envy and g-sync, plus DLSS 2 and ray tracing works in every game I've tried besides hitman, however DLSS 3 frame generation doesn't work and no idea when/if it will. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Nvidia settings shows wrong clock speeds
    I am not sure if it supports 1060, but search up GreenWithEnvy. It has maximum power draw control and displays the slowdown temperature among other things. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Help to Restore a Configuration
    I wanted to configure the nvidia graphics power with GreenWithEnvy but this requires activating Coolbits 8 in order to work, so I looked for how to activate and I found this. Source: over 1 year ago

  • programs have multiple tabs open and 300mb of ram usage
    I don’t think you need any special software for the cooler, CAM just handles the RGB and I think the display on the block. If you can live without that (OpenRGB can potentially handle the RGB, not sure about the display) then you should be able to get rid of it (assuming NZXT let you uninstall it without needing a reinstall, unlike Asus and Armory Crate…).

  • MSI Center Mystic Light LEDKeeper2.exe High CPU Usage
    Openrgb.org works on all 3 of my MSI boards, Razor KB and mouse too. Small and simple. Source: 5 months ago
  • td500 mesh fans
    If you've connected the ARGB Header to your Motherboard, you'll have to use some software like OpenRGB, but if not - try pressing the "Reset" button (located on the left-hand side of the Front Panel) which hopefully will switch between RGB modes. Source: 5 months ago
  • Windows Dynamic Lighting RGB control on Linux ?
    Controlling RGB devices on Linux has always been kinda finicky. Too much proprietary nonsense and Windows-only software. With so many vendors jumping on this open standard would it potentially open up way more devices to be controlled by one app on Linux? Would a project like OpenRGB be able to get this working? I'm not a developer, so apologies if this ultimately means nothing. Source: 7 months ago
  • RGB strip options for MAG B650 Tomahawk w/ WIFI
    You could try OpenRGB and see if it detects and allows you to change your lights. Source: 8 months ago
