Descriptions of Power Modes #352

Closed cemkaya-mpi closed 1 year ago

cemkaya-mpi commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not really a problem, but the power modes in fan control are G-mode, Manual and some numbers such as Level 160, Level 161 etc.

Describe the solution you'd like Instead of Level 160, it would help to see USTT_Balanced. Instead of Level 161, USTT_Performance and so on.

Describe alternatives you've considered The following is from another AWCC alternative project on github. @AlexIII is the maintainer and credit goes to him. He recovered the following enum from disassembling the original software:

public enum ThermalMode
{
    Custom = 0,                    
    Quiet = 150,
    Balanced = 151,                 
    Performance = 152,
    FullSpeed = 153,
    USTT_Balanced = 160,
    USTT_Performance = 161,
    USTT_Cool = 162,
    USTT_Quiet = 163,
    USTT_FullSpeed = 164,
    USTT_BatterySaver = 165,
    G_Mode = 171                   
}

Could these definitions be used in the fan control gui instead of Level 160 etc. ?

System (please complete the following information):

You can just rename it as you wish - type, and it will be saved as a mode name. Funny, he still not configured out G-mode is not a thermal only, but more. I'll contact him about it.

I could not save the name, but I am probably doing something wrong. I typed "Balanced" for Level 160 and pressed Save. I still see level 160. I am using version 8.2.7.0

Ooops! It's a bug. I confirm it, will fix ASAP.

alienfx-gui.zip Check this version, mode names will be saved now. BTW, doesn't need to press "save" every time.

cemkaya-mpi commented 1 year ago

Yes, this version works for me, thanks!
