Alternatively, might be a nice feature to be able to control both separately.

@iwei20 it's actually intentional :) on battery bios seem to limit power so much that cpu doesn't boost practically :) + you can just disable it for battery permanently if you want to

iwei20 commented 1 year ago

Huh, that's weird - the method in which I originally found this was when I was on battery and the opposite of this happened. I was trying to disable boost in silent mode, but HWInfo still showed spikes to boost clock numbers, at which point I did the registry edit to show this power option and found this.

@iwei20 i can set it to affect both states, it's not a problem - but then it will trigger issues like this one https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/issues/157 :)) (literally opposite with to yours)

GHelper.zip This build will set both DC/AC CPU boost states. But then I need to explicitly explain it in readme probably (even tho no one will read that and will complain) :)
