(Intel x86) Questions about power management for LibreELEC.

  • Hi. Since LibreELEC will be very lightweight compared to the specs of the CPU I'm using (which is also outputting video via mini DisplayPort from the integrated GPU), I was wondering if it's possible to enable Power Saving features? On Windows there's usually a Power Saving profile that keeps power usage down massively (which can cause throttling if the power is needed, otherwise you'd just consume far less wattage and create less heat).

  • As a general rule Linux already "does the right thing" by down-clocking CPU/GPU etc. when not active. There isn't really anything specific that you can configure or do to achieve more.
