    • @ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx
      @ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx 7 лет назад +3

      It's not just about how much brightness you set, as software determines how low or high brightness can be set by the user, also LED backlit based screens are much better since they consume less power OLEDs are even better since they can control individual pixels which is even more efficient (most modern laptops are LED backlit), also phone or laptop are the same what applies to your phone will most likely apply to your laptop. and here's a tip the highest power consuming parts in your laptop are the screen and the fan(s)
      so if you can get those in check then you achieve most of the possible power saving you can do, they're still many ways you to achieve more power saving but these are advance and may negate you from having an optimal user experience, some of them are mentioned in the video and may vary in effectiveness depending on your laptop.

      I feel like there's a witch hunt for any article (news, video, magazine) that as soon as someone sees a title that seems remotely clickbaity, they dislike it. Personally I think there's a difference between articles that are trying to grab your attention with worthwhile content versus articles that use clickbait that lead to garbage and ads.

    I think in addition to all that, you can manually cap the clock speed of CPU in advanced power settings to reasonable level for even more saving.
    maybe turning off 2nd GPU(if you have) or the one which is used for heavy stuff in a notebook might also help.
    Don't let the bars go lower than 2 for wifi network.
    And don't wanna upload/download anything unless absolute necessity.
    That resolution thing might be helpful for tuning down from 4K/2K to full HD or 720p but we all know that all the pixels of the screen are lit up so only thing that is gonna go down is the power used by GPU to render more pixels per frame.
    And lastly if your exhaust is releasing a lot of heat then check with background programs, something might be leeching resources to generate more heat.
    another tip is to turn off "superfetch" service in windows which caches the more frequently used softwares into RAM for better accessibility but to hold more programs in RAM, more power is required.

    • @joesatchton212

      Still relatively new here, but it seems to me that Linus has reached a sort of critical mass of youtube popularity where, no matter what he does, 10-30% of his viewers will automatically dislike every vid. Period.
      Some folks have said this is a response to what many long-time viewers feel is some kind of sell-out thing by Linus and Company. Or, more recently, for throwing out over-the-top clickbaity vid titles and images. In the case of the latter, I believe Linus has already acknowledged, publicly apologized for and has pledged to do better moving forward.
      I say they downvote just out of sheer spite, jealousy and irrational hate. Some probably just downvote just out of simple habit.
      Which is just stupid, shallow and sad.
      In the end it makes no difference. Linus and gang have 4+M subscribers and their content is generally compelling, entertaining, up-to-date and informative enough to insure that that figure will only increase. Much the same way that uber-hardcore smartphone enthusiasts really have almost no impact on the overall smartphone market at all, all the Linus downvoters and haters don't really matter in the end. And BTW, that is not to say that uber-hardcore smartphone enthusiasts are ALL haters.
      Just most of them. ;) :D

      ^ Fair enough. So, you are saying that if Linus had changed the word "TRIPLE" [which is the word I assume is most guilty of being click-bait] to "GREATLY IMPROVE" everyone would be happy and the world will be full of unicorns?
      Despite the fact that in the video, he does show specifically that they were able to achieve around a 3X increase in battery life over what they initially observed with all the peripherals plugged in and settings non-optimized at zero cost?

    Linus, you should use, and endorse, ThrottleStop and undervolt the CPU and GPU. This will net a HUGE gain in battery life. The process is also way easier than overclocking since all you're messing with is voltages and you'll also see a performance increase due to less heat and you won't hit the TDP wall anymore. Seriously check it out and do up a video on it! It'll help TONS of people and I'm sure you'll get a shit ton of views on it!
    I tweaked my gs73vr with it and overclocked the gpu. Playing fallout 4 used to make it run at 90*c and it would routinely hit the 45w power limit knocking performance back to a lousy 2.4ghz. With a quick repaste and no undervolt my temps decreased to 77*c but the fans were running at full speed. After a -165mV tweak to the core and cache, -60mV to the Integrated GPU, and -20mV to the system controller I'm now sitting chilly at 72*c on full load with prime 95 and websurfing for 2hours and fan speed at 90%. Playing fallout 4 for a long 7hours with graphics maxed on the 1060 and with it overclocked, the CPU never goes above 70*c and 70% fan speed with a max of 29.63w! The GPU also never goes above 75*c (not sure on its fan speed though). The CPU and GPU on this laptop share the same heat sink, that's why this is so important to mention it.

    Linus, thank you for making this video! This topic is really important to me and I'm glad you (and your team) did all the testing. I do not understand how there are so many downvotes. Please don't let them discourage you from making helpful, practical videos like this. I missed those guide-like videos from the old days.
    (If the downvotes really are because of the thumbnail that looks like a typical clickbait video I'm baffled. Go watch the video people! It's actual helpful content! I see no reason to downvote. I mean it might help if the thumbnails and the style were more professional like for example MKBHD but this is just Linus' style I guess and thats ok.)

      I - and I think a lot of other people too - disliked because I did not find the information in this video useful. To me it was either non or common sense. But that is exactly how I mean it: to me. In my opinion the voting system is a good way to show the creator what we are interested in and therefore I left a dislike.

      I agree Julius. LMG did an amazing job testing the practicality, but I don't believe that most of their fans are so clueless about battery life as to need this video. And personally, if I were that clueless I would be able to find most of this videos' instructions by reading a WikiHow or some such nonsense.

      If disabling webcam saves battery, you have a virus and are being watched.

    Another missed tip from Linus Tech Tips, however more experience required for the regular user. I under-volt my CPU processor and GPU processor and downclock the GPU memory and GPU/CPU core slightly. Example: Intel extreme overclocking utility, and afterburner MSI. This saves quite a decent amount.

    • @aleksandrmikhailov3255
      @aleksandrmikhailov3255 2 года назад

      The only problem is that MSI Afterburner itself wakes your descrite GPU and drains battery pretty well. Tried at on my Legion 7 today. Result: about 25W discharge rate with afterburner in the background vs 11W without it.

    I hoped you'd also compare HDD vs SSD. Everybody says it saves energy but it seems almost nobody really bothered to measure how much.

    Thanks Linus these tips will be very useful once i go back to school and need my laptop to last

  • @BARCH-wp5vl
    @BARCH-wp5vl 3 года назад +3

    Using ssd can improve battery life than ahdd. But using a ultra fast ssd near CPU or GPU can release temperature on while gaming and may result thermal throttling if the CPU is running already running near thermal limit .Also slow HDD may cause frame stutter in aopen world game
