How power plans work

[Dab1d]

I was just wondering on my HP OMEN 15 if the HP Recommended Power Plan, when set to best performance on the slider, is equivalent to the High Performance Power Plan. Does it mean that the HP Recommended can be high performace, balanced, and power saver depending on the slider? I can't find anything regarding the power modes of the HP Recommended Power Plan when I go to change the settings. Thank you!

Welcome to HP Forums,

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

As I understand, you wish to know the difference between HP Recommended Power Plan (Best performance) and High-performance power plan:

I'd like to thank you for the detailed description of your concern, as you have ensured I don't have to ask any more questions, that said,

HP recommended power plan is more like a balanced power plan and I have explained the difference below:

• Balanced: Balanced automatically increases your CPU’s speed when your computer needs it, and reduces it when it isn’t necessary. This is the default setting, and it should be fine most of the time.
• High Performance: High-Performance mode doesn’t lower your CPU’s speed when it isn’t being used, running it at higher speeds most of the time. It also increases screen brightness. Other components, such as your Wi-Fi or disk drive, may also not go into power-saving modes.

Hope this helps,

Have a great day 🙂
