[BUG] Power Draw

Open thejustinwalsh opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug The razercontrol daemon is one of the biggest energy users in my system according to powertop. Either I do not understand what powertop is reporting to me, or this daemon is consuming more power than any other app on my machine.

To Reproduce Install

Expected behavior Potentially draw less power?

944 mW 14.0 ms/s 233.5 Process [PID 939] /usr/share/razercontrol/daemon

This shouldn't be happening. I have the daemon running and am not noticing this high power draw.....

Is the issue still present?

I'll check again, I was also having some fan weirdness, but after an update and reboot that went away.... Thanks for checking on your side.

Looks like in the Overview it is projecting that it will use that much power, but it is not. using that much power? Not sure. It is still in my list toward the top.
