Building

Checkout and use a current rust version. Should build out of the box. Windows only.

Usage: atrofac-cli

Change power plan

Note: This DOES NOT adjust the fan curve. It uses the default fan curve defined by Asus.

atrofac-cli plan <PLAN>

Examples:

atrofac-cli plan silent
atrofac-cli plan performance
atrofac-cli plan turbo
atrofac-cli plan windows

Change fan curve

This adjusts the fan curve and sets a power plan.

atrofac-cli fan --plan <PLAN> --cpu <FAN_CURVE> --gpu <FAN_CURVE>

The FAN_CURVE is basically the same you can do graphically in the Armoury Crate GUI. It's a list (8 entries) of temperature and fan percentage. Assume you want to set a fan curve that looks like this:

Entry Temperature Fan Percentage
0 30 0%
1 40 5%
2 50 10%
3 60 20%
4 70 35%
5 80 55%
6 90 65%
7 100 65%

... in this case the FAN_CURVE string would look like this: 30c:0%,40c:5%,50c:10%,60c:20%,70c:35%,80c:55%,90c:65%,100c:65%.

Examples

Set the silent power profile and set the fan curves (CPU & GPU) to a minimum:

atrofac-cli fan

Set the windows power plan and set the fan curves:

atrofac-cli fan --plan windows --cpu 30c:0%,40c:5%,50c:10%,60c:20%,70c:35%,80c:55%,90c:65%,100c:65% --gpu 30c:0%,40c:5%,50c:10%,60c:20%,70c:35%,80c:55%,90c:65%,100c:65%

Limits

autrofac will automatically adjust dangerous fan curves (NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS REALLY WORKS). These are the limits:

Entry Temperature Fan Percentage (CPU) Fan Percentage (GPU)
0 30..39 0% or higher 0% or higher
1 40..49 0% or higher 0% or higher
2 50..59 0% or higher 0% or higher
3 60..69 0% or higher 0% or higher
4 70..79 31% or higher 34% or higher
5 80..89 49% or higher 51% or higher
6 90..99 56% or higher 61% or higher
6 100..109 56% or higher 61% or higher

So it's possible to operate the Zephyrus G14 fanless as long as the temperatures of the GPU & CPU are below 69 degrees celsius.

GUI

There's no GUI yet... but you can crate a shortcut, like this:

Shortcut

Technical details

It uses the DeviceIoControl function (windows API) on the \\.\ATKACPI-file to change the power plan and set the fan curve (like the Armoury Crate does).
